Mackie's DL1608 was another iPad related product, and in my opinion, one of the coolest ones at the show. It is a 16 channel mixer, complete with Onyx preamps, six aux sends (assignable as pre or post fader sends) and the ability to use the iPad (or multiple iPads!) as a remote control surface - allowing you to mix remotely, or for individual band members to control their own monitor mixes.

Gator Cases. I thought the guitar stand looked pretty useful.

There's always cool stuff on display at the Moog booth. Moog is also embracing the 500 Series rack format.

VHT's Special 12/20 may not be new, but it was news to me - I wasn't at summer NAMM 2011, and I hadn't heard about it prior to NAMM. Mick Thomson of Slipknot.

Danelectro's guitars were all marked as being made in Korea, and the quality seemed quite good.

Spector had some very nice looking basses in their booth.

Rivera amps and pedals seemed to be really popular, based on the amount of traffic I saw in their booth this year.

MXR and Way Huge had several cool pedals on display, including some new ones, and a couple of very cool artist models.
