Winter NAMM Show Preview: Peavey Electronics and software and hardware platform specialists Muse Research have announced a new partership and introduced the first product of that partnership, the MuseBox Musical Instrument and Effects Box.

“With the Receptor, Muse Research created an entirely new paradigm for musicians,” said Hartley Peavey, CEO of Peavey Electronics. “The new MuseBox is the next big step. We look forward to breaking lots of new ground together.”

The MuseBox is designed to let you take software-based synths, sounds and effects to rehearsals, gigs, the practice room, or the studio. The MuseBox’s compact 2U half-rack design is portable, versatile, and built for the road.

Its custom software environment is based on MuseMachine, a super-stable, Linux-based operating system made specifically to run audio plug-in software with 24-bit/48kHz audio.

Peavey Electronics and Muse Research and Development will officially introduce the MuseBox at the Winter NAMM Show.
