Let’s face it. Most of us will never get the chance to perform a divebomb in front of a packed arena. Generally speaking, we’ll probably never shred at a 100-note-per-second pace while fans dance and scream. That’s right, our guitar hero aspirations are simply that, and will probably never materialize.
Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t put on your tighty whities and work the imaginary crowd in your head. Despite what others may think, say, or do, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with feeding your air guitar habit every morning with pyrotechnics and lights.
That’s why today’s deal of the day is the American DJ Dynasty Ray Compact Scanner from Musician’s Friend for a super low price of $80. The 150 watt lamp and separate gobo and color wheels will even have the boogy man coming out of your closet and moshing to the Eddie Van Halen solo from “Beat It.” Couple this with a fog machine, and you’ll hardly notice the 50,000 fans missing from your rock n’ roll mirror/stage.
Or, if you’re actually in a band, it might be an adequate lighting effect.
