Members Anderton Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hey Dendy - I rode on the bus up to GearFest last week. It has wi-fi and a good space for getting work done. When you go down the road, you can see people in cars taking pictures of the bus...and it's always a great conversation-starter at truck stops, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 Well, it's Saturday afternoon, my workshops are done, and the show's about to wind up. But there's always time to catch just one more performance...it may be a trade show, and yes it's about the commerce, but it's really all about the music.

Members Mats Nermark Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 Love the description!"Size modulation emulator".Just that line would garner my interest. Cheers, Mats N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mats Nermark Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 I wonder if I could put that into one of my walls at home? Would definitely make caring for my guitars a lot easier. Cheers, Mats N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mats Nermark Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 I've reviewed a few of these pedals so I think both. Decidedly both! Cheers, Mats N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mats Nermark Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 A big thank you to the HC team who provided a great coverage for us unable to attend. A question for you.If you could only attend one show, would you select Winter NAMM or Summer NAMM? Cheers, Mats N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted June 26, 2016 Members Share Posted June 26, 2016 Winter NAMM, although Summer NAMM sometimes seems like a giant Hall E with all the little booths with new products from mad scientists...I suspect Summer NAMM is less expensive to attend, so the Winter NAMM show may present more of a barrier to entry for smaller companies. However, also note that the Nashville show isn't as crazed or filled with people, so it's easier to get quality time with manufacturer demos and such. Of course, the presence of the esteemed Dr. Nermark automatically raises the desirability of attending that particular show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 But wait! There's more! We just received a bunch of additional photos from Brigitte Laskowski, with even MORE gear. So here we go, starting with foot percussion from Adoro drums. Strap 'em to your feet, and tap to the beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 Normally when you pan something, it's not good, or you're placing something in the stereo field. But these Idiopan steel tongue pan drums are pretty kewl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ortega Guitars make things that look like stomp boxes, but trigger percussion sounds (with velocity sensitivity, too!). The Horse Kick Pro has five sampled sounds, while the standard Horse Kick samples a Cajon Bass sound. Both have non-slip bottom coatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 Kala's U-Bass was one of those left-field hits when it was introduced, and now they've expanded the line further. They're not just about ukuleles... [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31762738[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 Solomon Mics has taken the idea of using a speaker "in reverse" as a kick drum mic, and ran with it. The LoFReQ kick drum mic is purpose-built from the ground up to provide "that speaker sound" in something more convenient than dangling a speaker in a box. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31762742[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31762743[/ATTACH] ...and let's show it miking an actual kick...

Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 Dan Laskowski playing the Beatbox drums. Their slogan: "Why sacrifice sound for size." And while they're small, they do indeed sound quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 BugsGear ukuleles from South Korea. They're pretty loud and with decent bass, especially considering that they're made out of plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted June 27, 2016 Members Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm not sure why unusual basses were such a trend at NAMM, but here's another one: The Wing Bass, a half-scale bass designed for travel, practice, and performance.
