Chicago, Illinois, April 26, 2006 - Eden Electronics, the leader in bass amplification, proudly announces the introduction of their Hometown Hero program, which will spotlight high-profile local and regional Eden users.

"We feel that everyone involved with this program will benefit," says Eden's founder, Chief Engineer and Division Manager. "Our initial feedback from dealers has been very positive. The participating dealers will have a local luminary to assist in promotional efforts, while the Hometown Heroes will receive an extra discount to thank them for their efforts."

The program will be coordinated through Eden's dealer network. Dealers will submit candidates for consideration. Once accepted, the Hometown Hero will be assigned directly to the submitting dealer.

Eden Special Projects Coordinator Lane Baldwin will administer the program, working closely with dealers and the US Music sales team. "David and I both realize how important local bass stars have been to the success of our brand. The Hometown Hero program is our way of acknowledging these players, as well as helping increase both their visibility and ours."

In addition to receiving a discount with their associated dealer, Hometown Heroes will be featured on Eden's web site and will receive a special Eden apparel pack.
