NAMMasturbation 2015 (Winter Edition)

Don't know what this is but it was pretty so I took a picture.

NSFW: show

Edit: slow

Reverend. I used to own one of their old Rumblefish basses, really miss it. The ones they make now are neat but they ain't no Rumblefishes.

Thanks for all the pics! I too list for that Warm Star filter, looks incredible!

Wait, was it an artist that got a fanned fret signature? Or did they just do it for shits and giggles? I've always wanted one of those.

You know, honestly I'm not sure. I did notice a LOT of fanned frets at NAMM though. Seems like tons of people are adopting it.

I seriously want that guitar though. Fer real.

Blame that on the new wave of prog metal/djent. That crowd is really heavy into boutique instruments. More power to them I guess, I just want the tension and low end response of a 26 incher with the tone in the higher register of a 24 3/4 inch.

Source Audio's stuff was amazing as well. They were pretty cool dudes as well. Glad to meet them. Got to jam out on all their new stuff. The delay was fucking great, but my favorite was the overdrive and fuzz. Sounded so damn good. I was really surprised. That delay is like a miniature Timeline though, so Strymon has some competition coming.

Did you happen to get a price tag on the delay?

They weren't sure but that one is not quite done. Most things are launching March and that one may be after the summer. They are still perfecting it. It's going to be more than their normal line though for sure.

Hmm... well it looks and sounds super awesome so far. It looks like it more or less has the same intuitive interface as all the SB2 pedals.

I'm surprised the Walrus octave doesn't have a dry out and the delay does.

JWAR you are a king mate, thank you so much for the effort

[fever606]

I'm surprised the Walrus octave doesn't have a dry out and the delay does.

Eh? The Bellwether has L/R in/out, and expression jack and a tap tempo output... Unless I missed somewherw that the outs are configurable for dry/delay instead of stereo?

I just read on their Youtube channel that even though they weren't sure on the price, they were thinking in the ballpark of $249. If that's the case I'm definitely snagging one of these. The demo sounds really good.

Rackmount Mellowtron??!!?!?!!??!! Where can I sign up for one of those?

The beginning of the video is pretty neat, because the dude opens up and dismantles an original Mellowtron to show how to swap out the tapes. tbh, I would be a bit nervous to take one of those apart if I owned it. It would probably be a similar outcome to me trying take apart and put back together the engine in my car.

Dude, Jwar, top-notch sleuthing man.

Much appreciated, seems like a blast.

[Bellyheart]

That new Red Panda better not make me want two delays. It's taken a long time to fall deeply in love with a delay. Gettin a second seems silly but there's no way I'm getting rid of my No Memory.

The images next to the switches makes me nervous.

[Inconuucl]

Any info on the new malekko bit crusher? It's the only thing keeping me from taking that Hexe on the bst right now. 8D

[univalve]

NAMM, ilf Edition.
By fucking jwar!
Fuck you guys and kneel down.

Pure speculation on the meanings of the graphics:
Left switch determines whether it goes forwards, backwards, or single repeat forward, maybe (this would be so awesome if it was the case) pitch shifter before delay, pitch shifter in feedback loop forward, and pitch shifter in feedback loop reversed.
Right switch determines what kind of pitch shifting it is-semitones, octave, chorus.

I plan on visiting them in the next week or so, will report back if they spill any info on it.

Allow me to rephrase

I'm surprised the luminary doesn't have multiple outs and the bellwether does.
