Introducing, Supernova: a 360-degree concrete guitar amp that sounds as good as it looks. The design is crafted from concrete which not only gives it a cool, monolithic look, but boasts fantastic acoustic properties as it’s rigid enough to damp driver vibrations yet not so dense as to hamper resonance.
Two drivers are housed within the body, including an up-firing tweeter and down-firing woofer that together give it a wide acoustic range. Additionally, acoustic lenses fire the sound out a full 360 degrees, meaning the amplifier can deliver great sound from anywhere in the room.
Using a smartphone, users can build sound presets as well as choose from existing amp, cab and microphone models. Choose any track from your music library to jam along, adjust the mix on the fly, tune, and record with just a touch.
Designer: Dan Salisbury
Rotating the orbital dial turns the amplifier on, controlling the master volume.
An up-firing tweeter and down-firing sub deliver a wide acoustic range, ideal for jamming along to your favourite track.
Acoustic lenses fire sound out a full 360 degrees, meaning the amp can be placed almost anywhere in the room.
The app allows for full control of guitar tone, volume, and backing tracks.
The overall mix and volume can be controlled with a single slider.
A wireless guitar jack connects to your phone and the amp, removing the need for cables.
Leads can still be connected around the back. Allowing for the use of effects pedals, output for recording, or line-in for jamming along.
Illumination on the underside responds to sound.
Jam, build amp models, tune, and record. All through the app.

Toy drones have been cheap and plentiful over the past few years, but it's really hard for new products to stand out from the pack when they need to keep the price down and can't throw in premium features like a 4K camera. But that hasn't stopped Spi...
At 11,000 light-years away, it's safe to say you won't be able to visit Cassiopeia A even if private space corporations start selling seats to amateur spacefarers. Thanks to a team of scientists, though, you might be able to see the 300-year-old supe...
Scientists at MIT have designed a pocket-sized muon detector that can be easily made with common electrical parts, meaning anyone can kit themselves out with legitimately-functional Ghostbusters-esque gear for less than $100. The device detects the c...
Supernovae are some of the brightest and most energetic events in our galaxy. These occur when stars that have much greater mass than that of our sun explode; they become incredibly bright, and then slowly fade over the course of a few months as they...
