Allrighty, arrived there Friday night with my missus, we had nice dinner and stayed in a nice place, just 15min walk from the Messe, 5min from shopping for the missus. I went there to be right from the start.
First, Musikmesse is HUGE. I was only able to check Pickup instruments (gtr/bs) and a little bit of software. Drums, strings, wind, keys, PA, studio, all I had no time for, it's just way too big!
Second, I didn't see any economic crisis. Booths were big, people were plenty, a lot of interest was there. Not sure if it reflects in the order books of the exhibitors, but as a visitor, I couldn't see any recession.
Let me show you some of my personal highlights, ALL PICS HERE: http://picasaweb.google.com/jaeger28/MusikMesse2009
I had a great chat with Bruce Egnater, around 20min. He also gave me some insights in his plans and there is some interesting stuff to come. Then I played the Renegade 50, and I have to say, this amp is just amazing! It's a great deal for the buck and I am looking forward to getting one as soon as they are available! The Renegade 50 is going to be the hit of 2009!!
I never before heard about http://www.cicognaniamps.com but gotta say, their little Brutus Live (2x single ended class A toaster style amp with 5 sounds) is amazing, from clean to crunch to lead. These have been around for a while and I am surprised noone talks about them. Check the vids on their site!
Nice are those Fame guitars (house brand of Musicstore Cologne
Fender CS Tele with Filtertrons, for Twinfan (but they only had one
This amp sounded quite good actually (many more to follow
Look at this Huge Koch:
Nik Huber guitars - Pure Sex:
Some nice new ESPs (also they have a series of Firebirds now
I was quite a bit in this box, all these Bugeras sound really great!!
Hayden have their Toaster now as well:
The world needs more amps!
And more amps
Black Engl Fireball 100W. Cool looks, mean tones.
I WANT that TYLER!
Nice idea for a tilt 2x12
He was there too, poor guy had to smile and sign stuff for hours:
This sounded very nice indeed. And the buttons on this thing are HUGE:
More amps
If this is not pretty, what is?
Buy tone wood!
New nitro Smokeburst is NICE
Made by Paul Himself
This guy has put 2 Marshall 4x12s in a rotary, it turns at 120 RPM, sounded really cool, no compromise!!!
I forgot to ask how he does it with the cables ...?
Gotta love German made Tausch Guitars
I NEED one of these:
More amps
This is NOT a furniture shop
Remarkable tones from the Mad Professor. Although it was not very loud, I could hear it everywhere in the hall, really remarkable how it filled the place with tone!!!!
More amps
Thomas Blug is the man. His tone and feel is just amazing!!!!!!
Melodyne is the most amazing software ever. Did you know it can split guitar chords from audio in their single notes and you can change em afterwards?
