The NAMM rumour thread

Drew_TNBD

Heard owt interesting? I think we can expect something new from digitech from what I have read by their rep on tgp. Some sort of multi effects I expect.

I heard NAMM is engaged to Zac Efron... oh and he's gay

New TC toneprint pedals would be nice, not sure what or why though!

I was hoping you'd have heard something since you're probably the only person on this board getting to go!

I wish they'd release a multi FX based on the toneprint pedals.  I've had several of them (vibrato, chorus, reverb) and tested the delay too and I thought all of them sounded great.  There's probably a lot more money in selling individual pedals though so I wonder if it will ever happen.

Pretty sure there's nothing new from Jet City (bar their Custom Shop stuff) - still waiting for the FLEX amps to go into production.

Randall might have the 50W Nuno sig ready...at NAMM '13 they said they were apparently doing some final tweaks, so that's a possibility; I don't think they'll be publicising it much, though, since they're all about their new br00tz series these days.

Line6, of course, are reinventing shit again...presumably to make it even less useful if you have anything in your signal chain that doesn't carry their logo.

Digitech...yeah, I'm curious about what they'll come up with. No doubt it'll be a brilliant bit of kit that ticks every box but has a new, as-yet-unheard-of fatal flaw which makes it unusable in a live context.

Gibson will probably have 53 new models of Les Paul, each discernable from the others based on a slightly different selection of available colours.

Think that about covers it.

In all honesty I usually get some sort of heads up in software land but very very rarely in hardware land. Nothing exciting coming in software as far as I know!

A new best overdrive pedal ever.

I kinda hope electro harmonix do something amazing. They're the real game changers in effects, along with boss, zvex and possibly those soundblox pedals? So when they have new releases, I get excited. Especially if it's in a big box and does loads of cool shit.

Fender will do teles and strats, but I'd like for them to work on offsets a little - ditch the Gibson bridge, please, they don't work properly! Maybe they'll finally give us a 9.5 inch and 12 inch version of the mustang/jazzmaster bridge. I won't hold my breath...

Gibson will reissue something that may or may not have previously existed in colours that may or may not be new, with hardware that may or may not be anything like what should be in what they're reissuing.

I always like seeing the ibanez stuff. I really hope they decide to bring the tone lok series back, but maybe some new circuits. Most of the old ones are unconventional but interesting, and I love the push away knob design.

PRS are releasing a Gary Sinise model

The Greek government plan to get their economy back in business by using NAMM to launch a range of high priced custom made guitars only available to lady guitarists.

I'm hoping L6 finally sort out its products so the hardware and software modellers are actually from the same product line.

Beer/Lager for the gentlemen and a fruit based drink for the ladies.

Twud be nice, I loved their Nova pedal but a couple of things put me off it in the long run. I'd rather stick to individual pedals now for many reasons; but putting a Polytune, Flashback x4, Spark/Drive, and a HoF in one together would be pretty awesome.

I heard Gary Sinise was releasing a PRS model
@-)

I thought he'd released a model on CSI ...

Didn't L6 get bought out by Weyland?

Marshall are due to announce a new Zack Wylde signature head.

Blackstar has just posted this teaser video on YouTube.

I assume it's the next generation of the ID range.

WideStereo, USB, 6 amps, 12 effect, mp3 input etc. sounds like a THR challenger to me. Although the form factor looks to be a bit more bulky.
