Don't get your hopes up, this is not for you (unless you run a nightclub and carry enough cash to buy nightclub sound equipment), but it is great news nonetheless. According to this recent report, ArtGuitar and Peavey Electronics have teamed up to release this great looking amplifier system dubbed the RiffMaster Pro, designed to improve the experience of guitar-based music video game tournaments in bars and nightclubs.

The RiffMaster Pro is a complete state-of-the-art speaker system and guitar controller bundle aimed at providing the maximum sound and gameplay quality for video game tournaments, but especially for those dedicated to music video
games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The system is set for showcasing at the CES show in Las Vegas, January 7-10.

The RiffMaster Pro features a fully functional PA system powered by Peavey (the world's largest manufacturer of musical instruments and professional sound equipment) along with two limited edition AG RiffMaster Guitar Controllers. The bundle also includes a Peavey microphone. They're all pictured to the top left (click to enlarge).

"Peavey Electronics is the leading designer of professional speaker systems and we're happy to partner with them to offer a quality unit that amplifies the videogame rock experience for gamers and musicians alike," stated Steve Spurgeon, CEO of ArtGuitar. "The RiffMaster Pro can also be used to plug in real instruments giving bar owners a unique way to attract consumers to their establishment."

"This complete bar and nightclub tournament speaker system offers a unique alternative to conventional karaoke," stated Jim Beaugez, marketing communications director of Peavey Electronics. "And the quality AG RiffMaster Guitar Controllers are sure to create a gaming experience that bar goers will be lining up to experience."

Guitar Controllers featured in the bundle are the same life-size Peavey guitars modified for play with guitar-based music video games on the PlayStation 2. Remember the Limited Edition Ozzy Osbourne AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller showcased back in October? That's one of them.

See ArtGuitar's official website if you want to order the RiffMaster Pro bundle or just to see more facts about it.
