The Double Range Guitar is the first on
the market to feature 100% compatibility with all Guitar HeroT and
Rock BandT 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.
