- Ontario,
CA-
The Ant
Commandos (TAC),
a leading
provider of
innovative
wireless
video game
music
peripherals
and
accessories,
announced
today its V
Shaped
Double Range
Guitar
ranging in
colors from
flame red
and electric
blue, to jet
black, is
now
available at
retail for
an SRP of
$59.99. The
Double Range
Guitar is
the first on
the market
to feature
100%
compatibility
with all
Guitar Hero
and Rock
Band games
for
PlayStation®
2 and
PlayStation®
3.
TAC's Double
Range Guitar
enhances
players'
gameplay
experience
no matter
which
music-inclined
video game
or
PlayStation
system they
are using.
By utilizing
2.4GHz
wireless
technology,
players can
hurl
themselves
around as
they thrash
to the beat,
up to 30
feet away
from the
console. A
second set
of
FeatherTouch
fret buttons
on its
Xtended Fret
Array allows
players to
fully take
advantage of
experiencing
a full range
when
performing
earth-shattering
solos, then
using the
higher set
for rhythm
parts. The
Double
Range's
lower 5
buttons are
100%
compatible
with Rock
Band's Solo
Guitar play
and it
offers a
5-way switch
to support
the sound
effect
feature in
Rock Band.
When playing
Guitar Hero,
the lower 5
buttons
behave just
like the top
5 buttons,
thus
allowing
gamers to
simulate
solo action
in Guitar
Hero I, II,
and III.
Additionally,
gamers will
be able to
rock out
like a true
musician
with the
360FLY Clip,
a special
belt clip
that
attaches to
the guitar
with a
single pivot
point,
allowing
players to
wildly spin
the guitar
to replicate
the moves of
their
favorite
famous
guitarists.
"Guitar Hero
and Rock
Band have
become a
cultural
phenomenon,
and with all
the people
out there
playing
these games,
it is
important
that their
guitar
controller
work with
every
feature in
the games,"
said Jesse
Manwill,
Senior
Manager,
Product
Management
at TAC. "The
Double Range
is the ONLY
guitar that
is
compatible
with all of
the Guitar
Hero and
Rock Band
features-including
the solo and
5-way effect
switch.
Consumers
who purchase
the Double
Range can
rest assured
they are
getting the
most feature
compatible
guitar
available on
the market."
The Double
Range is the
only guitar
controller
that is
compatible
with both
the
PlayStation
2 and
PlayStation
3. This
market
advantage is
a huge
benefit,
eliminating
consumers'
headaches as
players no
longer have
to worry
about which
platform's
peripheral
they need to
purchase in
order for it
to work with
their
system. If a
consumer is
thinking
about
upgrading to
a
PlayStation
3, or if
they already
have a
PlayStation
3, but they
want to play
their
favorite
songs on
Guitar Hero
1 and II on
the
PlayStation
2, they can
still
purchase the
Double Range
as it is
fully
compatible
for both
systems.
Other Double
Range
features
that help
players make
the most of
their
gameplay
experience
include the
new
PowerThief
power saving
mode which
conserves
the
controller's
power by
turning off
when it
senses
inactivity,
and the Low
Battery
Indicator
which blinks
red,
signaling to
players that
the battery
needs to be
replaced -no
more
guessing or
discarding a
good
battery.
Also, the
Super Whammy
System
whammy bar
helps to
provide
protective
control over
soaring
whammy bar
effects for
those who
are rough
with their
controller.
