Namm 08 Rumours/Suggestions/Ideas

[Mecedes]

Okay I realise that Namm 08 is a long way off but I thought I'd start getting the ball rolling and if you have any ideas or suggestions or rumours etc about products possibly being released at Namm 08 put it here.
I'd like a new Fantom released and I'd love for Roland or Yamaha or Kurzweil to put out thier own version of Oasys out. Make it 20 times more powerful and stronger
:thu::):cool::);):wave::lol::D

[Griffin Avid]

20 X more powerful? Wow.
I guess it'd have to cut the lawn and trim the hedges too.
The OASYS is a heavy investment which puts it out the reach of many.
$3,000 seems to be the top off for a workstation.

I'd like to see...
A Digital Modular that can store patch data and work by Software Editor or cables. Unlike the Nords -It's sold in parts and not just a keyboard with a VST interface. It would work simlar to the Korg Legacy MS20 but every division would be sold separate. Even the keyboard would be modular. 2 -37 note controllers link to become a 74 key. The top could be rows of knobs or faders with the software editor controlling what sends what signals.

You can add banks of pads....pots...joystick.

Mawzer is VERY close to this idea.

I'd like to see Kirk Hammett's signature series Randall amp head being sold for a decent price.

I'm not planning on buying one, but I do hope it won't be expensive.

[Ooh-La-La]

I don't know if this is considered Spam or not, but Ooh La La Manufacturing LLC, (boutique effect pedal company), is going to be there for the first time! We are super excited and I we love our location, right down the hall from the back escalator. All our stuff is somewhat new, so I thought it might be appropriate to post here ?????

anything in particular that you know people like to see in the booths? i have quite a few ideas but I'm always interested in what others think.

[AaronF]

On the MF page where the interview with Vai is, he makes a comment about his signature Ibanez distortion pedal coming out at NAMM. Could be cool.

[djbabu59]

Anyone hearing anything coming out of the Roland camp regarding the successor to the Fantom X?

[Mecedes]

---------EXCLUSIVE------
I can now reveal one of the products to be shown at namm and its called the percussa audio cube and it looks like another rip off of the yamaha tenori-on. www.percussa.com

[elsongs]

Anyone hearing anything coming out of the Roland camp regarding the successor to the Fantom X?

Be absolutely floored for the debut of the Roland Fantom Y!

This January in Anaheim...


(lol)

[Marshall Jeffer]

Marshall Jefferson; House generations a new loops CD by Loopmasters is being released at Namm, I'll be there with Loopmasters promoting it. It's got live strings, live horns, drums, guitars, and percussion, as well as synth and drum programming in a more soulfoul dancy vibe than you're probably used to with most loop compilations.

[joeylz]

how much diff do u think the new fantom line will be compared to the x series?
what changes or additions do u think were made?

[kristallin]

They'll "re-master" the same old soundset they've been using since the early 90s when them introduced the JV1080, and raise the price by $500.

[petejt]

I hope the new Fulltone TriStereo Chorus gets released at NAMM 2008!

[noirjp]

namm is open to public on sunday...it was last year anyways.

[octoberman9]

Had heard some rumor that that was to be the case, if it is (and was) is it worth it to go on Sunday? Do you get to see anybody of note, or is it like another typical Saturday at Guitar Center? :bor:

[XTwistedMetalX]

NAMM isn't open to the general public is it. =/

[Jeff Seal]

I'll be there..... hopefully my last year without a booth for my amps.

Jeff

[neoshred_X]

When the heck is NAMM?

[Mecedes]

A reminder that Namm is on in Anaheim California 17-20 Janurary

[Gus Lozada]

And as usual, my birthday is during NAMM, Jan 18th :cool:

[Anderton]

NAMM was not open to the public last year on Sunday, and won't be this year, either.

[Mecedes]

NAMM IS NOT OPEN PUBLIC

[midi]

Wow, sounds like a Bush speech.....;-)

[Ski_Dawg]

I would hope Marshall would jump on the low-wattage tube amp bandwagon. If they did a 5-watt head with a plexi type of tone and priced it $500 street it would sell by the truckload. I think the Tiny Terror, Epi Valve Jr., Blackheart & others show there's a serious market out there for that category. The Tiny Terror has been a brilliant marketing move in many ways. It gets people to take notice of and become interested in their "standard" line of combos and heads - which are a premium product relative to most amps.

[Last Nerve]

I hope the new Fulltone TriStereo Chorus gets released at NAMM 2008!


Fulltone does not go to NAMM.

[gusvolta]

" NEWS 1.1.2008

Ahhh! BRRRrrrand new year! Plenty of new toys in store! We have worked very hard getting a line of pickups to the point of perfection and those will be released at the NAMM show. The tone is SWEET FOLKS! I have to say I'm really pleased with sounds we are getting. Yup, they are Hand Wound with the best wire, best magnets, many rounds of testing before they are packaged to make sure you get something everyone would die for. We have a unique structure for holding the magnets that people really dig. For those that know exactly what you want we conduct an interview and build every parameter of the pickup to your specs (those are the Tiffany Select single coils) as well as a Vintage and Modern set of single coils that are sure to please anyone on their quest for tone. We are also releasing ATA/Flight cases to protect your gear on the road (or from the kids around the house!) so check that out too at the NAMM show! "

I've saying this exact thing all year. A 5 watt Marshall under 5 bones. Yes please.

[Greg Bogoshian]

I will be there, but as a non-exhibiting manufacturer. I plan to bring one representative CamelBack, one Cicada, and one Mantis out there and have at my motel room for demo if anyone was interested. I will only be able to bring my V-Amp2 and headphones, but at least it will give you an idea of their range of tones and playability and ergonomics. I hope to meet with plenty of pickup,Parts, accessory, and wood vendors while out there and also put in good words for Dave Wendler on whose pass I am getting in...

[HCarlH]

I can't wait to see what products Behringer is going to copy this year! :D

[gtrbass]

Behringer is going to reverse engineer the NAMM, and the Anaheim convention center itself create their own products show called .... BAMM!!!

[metalmonkey]

Krank are bringing out the Rev1+ and the krankenstein+
which both include bigger transformers and 6550 power tubes

VHT are bringing out the sig x head

[Brujo]

If any of you guys going to NAMM gets to try out the Ibanez Omar Rodriguez-Lopez signature Jet King, please report back with some impressions. As a big Mars Volta fan i'm kinda intrigued by this thing.

You might be thinking of the Frankfurt Messe - they open it to the public, but NAMM is still a closed "trades only" show, even at the smaller "summer" NAMM show.

IMHO, I'm surprised that the NAMM board hasn't considered opening it to the public for one day... I think it would "prime the pump" for the retailers, and the manufacturers would find out first hand what some of the customers really think of their products.

By Yamaha, a small digital recorder called Pocketrak 2G . Reported on an european site also covering NAMM 2008.

I'll be there for what it isn't worth. <^.^>

That has been tried for a couple of years in the past. The results weren't favorable to the NAMM membership.

[HCarlH]

I need to make a note to myself to snag a bunch of these at the show so I can get rich too!! :idea:

Silly idea (http://cgi.ebay.com/NAMM-Musical-Instruments-Show-Exhibitors-Badge-Holder_W0QQitemZ7353375524QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3242Q QrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQc mdZViewItem)

[Alndln2]

I can't wait for Line 6 to release the updates for the Pod X3/X3L
Along the same lines I'm hoping they come out with a new version of the UX-2 Tone Port with better converters, better mic pre's and FW over USB, and improved modeling. I'd be willing to pay more for that.

[Ed A.]

I'd like to see a 61 note synth-action controller with aftertouch and an expression pedal input from Korg. Limited knob/slider controls, just like their K61, but with the 2 features I mentioned.

[Phil O'Keefe]

Good for you Marshall! I'll try to swing by and check it out tomorrow. :wave:

Fulltone does not go to NAMM.

Why not? :confused:

[cincy_cosmo]

Hey, can someone at NAMM go to the Roland booth and tell them they removed the VG-99 Guitar processor from their website? It just started shipping last October or so, and recently got a firmware revision, so you know they don't mean to discontinue it. It has the rather organized VG-99 users up in arms.

They might be updating the description on the site.
