I always look forward to what ESP / LTD and Schecter are rolling out. Would love to see a new Marshall, or an updated version of the flagship (JVM) series. Be interesting to see if Diezel has anything new to offer as well as Fryette.
Yeah how about that mini vh4 that has been teased multiple times now 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Tell us if strymon gets their head straight and make a multi fx rack...
I'd like to extend this to Boss as well.

Even if they just did rack versions of their RV, MD and DD 500 series pedals, how rad would that be?
 
I thought I was the only one who thinks like me hahaha

Hell no brother.

My last pedalboard was loaded with big ass rack-emulating pedals that made it way too massive and fussy, and now I'm putting a rack together to replace it all, because rack rules. Being able to actually get modern digital multiFX in a rack format (other than the AxeFX and Helix) would be fucking sweet.

Also, a Boss ES-8 in a rack format (minus the footswitches obviously) would be amazing too. Two inputs, two outputs, seven mono loops, two stereo loops, ability to rearrange all loops and put them in parallel, tuner output, three control switch outputs (tap tempo, amp channel switching, etc), two expression pedal outputs, MIDI, 800 patches. Probably forgetting a bunch of other shit. In a 1U rack form factor, hooked up to pedals in the drawer (even being able to send tap tempo to delay pedals in either BPM or ms), plus mixing other rack effects in parallel.

Get on it Boss.

Schecter has (sadly) stopped showing the new models all at once like other brands too, they now prefer to unveil each new model when it's already available for purchase. Makes sense as you won't gas like hell for something in extreme backorder, but still it kinda kills the rainbow eyes factor
 
Synergy should drop a new model i would think..would be cool to see Vox and Fende drop their own official models.
 
One of us from RT needs to visit the Strymon camp and share this thread with them wonderful people and ask for this machine.

 
Big trade shows under one roof are kinda strange in today's media and advertisement landscape. Youtube is the biggest trade show in human history and it's free and available 24/7. And if you showcase your product there, you don't even have to compete with a warehouse full of other stuff all coming out at the exact same time.

I can see NAMM being beneficial to tiny companies without much reach in the market because it's a place where all the media is concentrated, so you could get a shot at more exposure if you release your product there, but as for big companies who already have a following and can reach their audience and market any time they want either way? Seems pointless for those guys to spend a ton of money on booths and travel when they could just release something on their own social media sites.
