What's up party people!
So it's been a few weeks since we talked. Was it something I said? Do you still even love me any more? ;-)
I know, I know, it's all my fault...But give me a break, I was in sunny California for the NAMM 2009 show!
Scoping out all the coolest new gear from every music manufacturer in the world!
Some totally rad things coming out in the next few months. To give you some highlights:
JBL has a new EON speaker series that totally rocks
CAD's got a new USB mic, the U37, that is killer
Morley's keeping it real with its second George Lynch inspired/designed pedal
Samson makes it easy by giving you a powered portable speaker with built in wireless mic and iPod connectivity
Shure added some great offerings to it's PG mic series (including some fantastic condensers)
Peavey [check this out!] has a new power amp series, the IPR, that only weighs like 6 pounds! Unbelievable!
Digitech steps it up with updates on the RP modeling pedal series
Tascam's got some excellent new portable recorders
Marshall rocks your face off with the new MG series with MEGA built in effects!
Fender is dirtying it up with their new Road Worn series.
For those of you who love the visual...I took a few videos from the show floor, and here they are!
[I've got plenty more, but do you know how long it takes to render video?!]
Ibanez Artwood and Exotic Wood gits
Some crazy cool Gibson axes
Plus I just mustered all my creative skills to put together a promo for our Free Guitar Workshops!
[Yep, that's me on the voice over. And you can thank Jim for the confused look

]
And I sure am getting a lot of mileage from that music! Recorded by our own Eric Lacovara...a killer guitarist.
That's all for now. Let me know what you think!
I'll post more videos as they render...
Peace, love, and new products {rendering, rendering....]

ps. Yep. Shaved the beard.
