Winter NAMM 2009 Official Thread.

[zewango]

Just got back from NAMM, wayyyyyy too many people today. Will maybe go tomorrow to be able to see more things, it was pretty hard to get to check anything out since there were so many people. Heres a bunch of random pictures, didn't get to take too many, was impossible to get a clear shot on a lot of things so I just gave up after awhile. All the major booths were so crowded it was nuts. Was also nice to see some RT members in person.

Cool pics. What are the 3 small knobs on the Uberschall? I can't make them out on any of the pics I've seen.

Its a low, master volume and Hi control... lets you control the power section , tame the fizz and tighten the bottom... or vice versa... really cool!

OK .... Here's an official Wizard statement. The Ebay thing is coming down. Wizard has signed up some dealers and is already in full production. All amps are still hand made with point to point turret boards and all are personally burned in by Rick himself. Rebel Amps has signed up as a US dealer along with a couple others including one in Canada. Call Josh Sage for info.

Namm was crowded as hell. I had a great time regardless. I met some rig talk members for the first time, Nick(dawnofdreamx97),Brad (rareguitar),Ralph(Gainfreak), Joshage,Mark Cameron, Pete Thorn, Mark Day. I went with my local Rig Talk buddies jcj(Josh) and cyndicate(Wil). THere was some very cool gear to see as you can tell by all the well provided pictures.
I went to see George Lynch play at Tone Merchants. Brad, Mark Day, indy guitars, Wil, Friedman and Pete Thorn were all there just chillin'. Greg Howe the following day was a great show aswell. Jenniffer Batten and Dave Weiner joined Howe on stage for a J. Beck tune. Guthrie Govan was there, but he did not play. Dave Weiner was sporting a Fryette name plate over his VHT plate. I think it was velcroed on. Howe was playing His Cornford MKII. That amp just cut through everything. As for Lynch, he was playing his 69' plexi and an Elmwood for the high gain stuff.

I don't think so, but one thing I know is, they are loud as shit.

I believe it's slightly revised (Modern classic). They have a push/pull for the rhythm and lead now and I heard from people who were at NAMM that the master taper is a little tamed down to be better at lower volume. If it's true or not, I personally don't know.

The push/pull for the rhythm and lead was stock on the 2007 models but the master was not tamed down,load as no other.

Cool to hear about Wizard. Figgered there'd be an announcement.

If they end up being $2500 or so, I guess I should just shoot myself now.

I didn't go but Here's some pics I found on the Krank Forum...Did anyone stop by their booth?

A new Krank Bass Head, Nineteen 80, Krankenstein Jr, & Krank Classic...Pretty Cool!
I just picked up a Rev Jr Pro 50 last month and it's a little beast!
I'm intrigued by the Krank Classic.

I want to hear more about the Bogner Anniversary XTC!!! What's the dealio guys?!?!

Anyone?!?!?!?

 

[Copperhead]

I'm intrigued by the Krank Classic.

It's Chadwick in a JR box, still 50 watts.

Krank would be doing so much better if they would knock off the stupid teenage styling and act like they are a real amp company.
