NAMMasturbation 2015 (Winter Edition)

[The_Active_Conundrum]

Edit: Since this is No Longer about Making predictions for WInter Namm.....

I propose we rename this thread "NAMMsturbation 2015"

TAC delivers.

===============================================
I remember when didn't know about NAMM or didn't care.

My Bet is Pigtronix dirt boxes. Maybe a smaller Mothership to fit in their line of compact Bass effects.

EHX drops a new dual delay nope
EHX makes another cheap dirtbox, possibly a bender soundalike halfright. No bender but bass drive

Gibson makes one really rad instrument. Brings back Explorer in standard and plus. hahahaha

New Jazzmaster, with neck humbucker and single coils.

Marshall brings back boutiquified stompboxes no

Ibanez releases a 3rd artist-model 8 string. wrong

Overall, I imagine it to be the year of 'Benders, possibly with some flanging junk, too. aww yeah zero point

Thoughts?

EQD Flanger. Along with maybe a dirt box or maybe something else they haven't done yet. Ring mod? Analog suboctave?

I'd love to see Gibson release an affordable RD bass. Hell, I'd take an Epiphone RD. And re-release those SG special basses without that 12th fret inlay. Maybe Gibson will jump on the baritone/bass vi bandwagon.

Thats all I got.

I'd also like more Fairfield and ss/bs in '015

I thought Bit Commander did suboctave? I dont know EQD but 100% of their pedals I own are rad. I'd love to see their take on flange.

Oh god, how could I forget the Bit Commander.

fender brings back a marauder a lot closer to the prototype specs…[doubt it]

For real, Fender and Gibson continue to trade on 50-60 year old designs, and attempt to connect with what contemporary players want with uninformed tech gestures, like robot tuning, wiring cartridges, and USB cables…

Wiring catridges was silly but it seems like a step in the right direction. Robot tuning? GOD NO. sometimes I want to be a little out of tune. The robot nonsense is an upcharge for a feature I dont need or want

EDIT: if it weren't for that robot gunk, I'd be HIGHLY intrested in the reissue Goldtop Deluxe, then I can pretend I'm cool like Steve Hackette. Srs.

I thought the robot were real dumb, but now I have songs I'm working on for the band are in 3 tunings... I only have one guitar so the idea of switching tunings faster does sound nice.

I hope gibson makes something more unique. My dream guitar would be a baritone explorer, but I doubt that will ever exist.

It did exist few years ago

a 300+ dollar reverb that only has one knob
even more big muff copies
guitar picks with built in expression capabilities

Wow. Now I need to save some scratch and find a used one once I have the money... Thanks for the link!

Fender: '70s Jazzmaster ri (witch hat knobs ftw!). And in the AV series: Esquire and Bass VI reissues.

EHX: The return of the big boxes! And yeah, maybe some sort of tonebender clone. But most of all: instead of selling klon clones and making us buy big muff clones from boutique brands, they better start making quality reissues of the triangle/opamp/sovtek/rams head muffs.

Boss: More waza craft stuff. And hopefully including an actual analog fuzz pedal that puts all their previous dirt pedals to shame.

Gibson: An ES-335 for the masses, something that sits between their epi dot and their current pricey 335. I'd love to see them come up with another ES-333, preferably without robotics or wifi or USB or whatever. Also, the world is ready again for the RD Bass.

[Ghost Hip]

Ditto x3: Three TC Dittos superglued together.

Fender Vintage Modified Pawnshop Modern Player Offset: Its kind of what you wanted.

EHX: I don't know but I bet their graphic designer vomits on it.

Squier: We did it, we made the thing you've wanted at an affordable price so you can mod the fuck out of it.

Line 6: Haha, remember the Amplifi? Sorry about that, here is something you'll actually use!

[Gone Fission]

Gibson will disappoint those who have not yet recognized the perpetual state of peak facepalm.
