ROLLING NAMM 2010 + GENERAL INSTRUMENT GEEKERY THREAD

so winter namm just ended, and kind of nothing much happened.

can you find me a fun little combo 808+909 box with easy interface, simple outputs, for around $100?

"can you find me", read "did anyone come out with"

haha ok dumb geetar head guy was thinking you were talking ibanez pedal models there but i see the error of my ways.

theres a little zoom box that might do the trick (not new tho), will investigate

Nothing much for guitarists. A few mildly interesting synth gadgets but nothing that wasn't already expected. Teenage Engineering OP-1 looks like it's actually going to be a real product and not vapourware. There's a big grown up Kaoscillator Pro. Mopho with a keyboard, blah-di-blah etc..

sorry about my bitter first post, but once again guitarwise most of the new stuff was just new paint job reiterations.

that being said, #1 on my hmmmmmm list is the new ibanez TSA-15, a 5W/15W all tube head with a TS9 built into the front end. have not gotten official pricing yet, but rumor is that its going to street at about $300.

theres also a new eastwood in the mix, but i dont think its been announced yet so i should prob just shut up about that for the moment.

G&L appear to have done something with an asat and a floyd (?!??!!) in the tribute series, but details are sketchy there as well

Eww/hmmm @asat+floyd trem

kaoscillator pro looks dope

i was excited by amplitube 3 and the UA announcements, that was kinda it

oh and in the old news category, finally got in the EH Memory Toy and its fantastic, esp considering its an analog delay in the sub $100 range

also gotta say that G&L seems a lot more excited about the Jerry Cantrell Rampage than anyone in the buying public is

im sure that Jerry is also excited about it but uh

any british peeps want to let me know if Tanglewood guitars are actually the wicked awesome shit or do they just have a great PR department? big push over here in the states at the moment

kaoscillator pro looks dope

It does, but there's a big feature overlap with the KP3. So I wonder who the Pro is actually aimed at.

Moog Taurus 3. This clip isn't a proper A/B test with the original Taurus, but you get the idea.

ok thats awesome

Oh wow that's...really practical.

Did Akai say anything about the E3 Head Rush yet? I've been waiting on that one...

oh by the way that little ibanez TSA15 i mentioned upthread was, in fact the shit, and i love it v v much.

also i should prob start a new thread so we can all be disappointed by winter namm 2011!
