Aw yeah! That time again!

Me? I predict less cool shit than at Winter NAMM woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Pigtronix drops a new dirt pedal
Ibanez starts an acoustic focus/push
New Epiphone Artist Model from that hot band everyone's talking about
PRS offers a floating bridge
a boutique company introduces a parallel tremelo/phaser. it is mono.

*All the shit we heard about in Winter NAMM, but with the cool features taken out to make them "production ready".

yeah, that too. I miss just getting into gear, when everything was new and amazing

EDIT: I'm a dumb with quotes sometimes.

Pretty sure Joel said there will be a new Chase Bliss pedal at Namm.

Unless I'm mistaken, dwarfcraft are teasing something on Instagram. Pitch Wizard? I dunno, I could be reading into it wrong.

1-3 new EQD pedals for me to want.

It would be great to see something new from Fairfield. Dunno if they do the Namm thing though.

jwar is going to get answers from Keeley for Chankgeez.

Akai is going to cheese it up with something terrible. Some new DAW controller thing or something.

Everyone will do digital vintage shit.
Like Strymon's DIG.

More useless crap in 1590A sized enclosures.

^Worst pedal trend ever.

Ever.

I don't even have a good joke prediction. DigiTech Quintet? DOD re-releases some more fan favorites? Fuck, I don't know.

yeah I look forward to seeing the next thing they manage to completely screw up

yeah same.. i'm just dreading the:
- more drum-machine-in-a-pedal nonsense
- more tweaked clones in hammond boxes
- more $1000 MIDI bypass systems
- new builders relying completely on aesthetic rather than actually bringing anything new to the table

at least we're getting the DOD meatbox and Bastl Thyme.
i hope Boss/Roland come out with new pedals or something. since they did the tera echo/multi overtone i wouldn't put it past them to make like a defretter or a ring mod or something.

oh. EHX D9. of course.

I'm predicting someone will release an overdrive pedal in a rectangular cast aluminium box. It will probably have 2 or more controls on the top and a kind of stomp switch at the front of the top to turn the pedal on or off.

"Based on a well known circuit but taken to the next level as only <insert fly-by-night-company-name> can".
Read: 3 way clipping diode mode that was cool 10 years ago and a flat mids mod.

Hopefully DOD have enlisted some other rad builder (A la Black Arts Mark) to design something for them that doesn't suck and isn't just rehashing the classics?

Fuck. If only that wasn't going to be 100% true.

They already have both in the multis, think they won't do a single effect for either.

Epiphone RD Artist

A bunch of demo vids where all you can hear is someone shredding in the next booth over
