Guitar forums and message boards across the web receive daily posts from curious folks asking, "What is the purpose of that ring on Herman Li's hand?" or "How does he get those lightning fast wah flutters ?". Well folks, the answer is the Hot Hand Motion Control Filters. The pedal hit the market in January of 2006 and quickly received industry wide praise for its unprecedented advancements in music gear technology. Hot Hand offered a bold new approach to the standard wah wah pedal. Not only does it provide far more wah filter options, it allows players to control each filter with a ring like device easily attached to a musician's hand, foot, or guitar. No longer are players inhibited by the limitations of a foot controlled wah pedal.The reviews started to roll in: it took the "Platinum Award" from Guitar World Magazine, and was highlighted in the Orange County Register as one of the hottest new products and the 2006 NAMM Show. Now, in celebration of the new live release, Twilight Dementia, from the Grammy nominated band, DragonForce (early adopters of Hot Hand), Source Audio announces a $100 price reduction on both the wireless and wired version of the Hot Hand Motion Controlled Wah Filters. The new discount brings the total street price down to $299 for the wireless and $199 for the wired.
We felt inspired to make this offer after receiving great news from DragonForce guitarist, Herman Li. Apparently, Herman is so fired up about the ring and what it can do, he included it smack dab on the front cover of DragonForce's new live album. There it is below, we've circled the ring for your convenience. ;)
Herman is easily one of the top guitar shredders of all time. His song "Through the Fire and Flames" is the ultimate achievement on Guitar Hero III-Legends of Rock. He was also one of the very first big name players to use Hot Hand. The Motion Controlled Wah Filters and Phaser/Flanger have since become an essential ingredient to the DragonForce sound. Check out the Hot Hand ring in action, it's featured in the video for DragonForce's Grammy nominated tune, "Heroes of Our Time".
We thank Herman for his devotion to Hot Hand and look forward to hearing what great musicians from all genres of music can do with this unique pedal.
