Analog Outfitters continue their scavenging operations with this repurposing of Hammond vibrator scanners as guitar effects.
This pick guards look like they're suffering from the plague or at least the heartbreak of psoriasis.
Tone King is nailing the retro Magnavox/Zenith vibe with their vintage-inspired tube amps.
If you use specific settings on your pedals or amp and worry about the knobs getting changed, here is the product for you. This replaced the original knob with one that cannot be accidentally changed. To make an adjustment you pull up on the knob to disengauge the teeth and then turn it.
The Zexcoil pickups use a separate coil for each string and offer enough different pickup choices to paralyze the typical tone-obsessed guitarist.
Like a parametric EQ, these pickups allow you to select the frequency and Q (bandwidth) of the pickup response. This goes way beyond traditional guitar tone controls.
When a company named Cioks puts out a pedal power distribution accessory and they call it Pussy Power, it makes my job just that much easier.
The SlideWinder is a ring with a magnetic bar that allows you to use a slide and still bend your finger when you want to form full chords, which is typically not possible with one of your fingers ensconced in a rigid tube.
I'm sure there's some reason for this unusual construction method, most likely having something to do with suppressing resonant cabinet frequencies. I just thought they looked cool.
"I don't hear anything."
"Well you would though, if it were playing."
At least that's what I would expect Nigel to say about this product, which mechanically couples the neck and bridge for improved sustain.
Your descendants may rue the day you open up this to pedal to adjust a knob. I didn't want to risk it myself so I can't even tell you what it does.
This sounds more like the plea from a dehydrated individual than the name of an ultra compact wah pedal.
My foot isn't really that big, these pedals are just that diminutive.
This is the latest weapon in the war on picklessness.
The Pykmax fits in your hand and has a hinged pick attached to palm-fitting handle that presumably provides more control over the pick.
I think they're missing the boat in not promoting the anti-pick dropping characteristics inherent in the design.
A tuner for every occasion, just not any occasions that you might realistically encounter.
Prevent cruelty to your roadie, especially if your are him. I particularly like that you can pull the fingertip back on these protective gloves to provide either fine finger work or more likely, access to your smartphone screen.
Except instead of freshening the air, this stick-on wireless X/Y touchpad smoothly crossfades between effects in the companion processor.
What really caught my eye at this booth was their vehement stance against Guitar Center.
The Z-Stand look like it would make nice "living room" guitar stand.
Yet another way to keep your guitar handy and open up floor space.
It's just not a NAMM show without ostentatious guitar straps. Killer-Q stepped up to fill this much needed void.
These little packets will either humidify or dehumidify depending on the current conditions.
