Re: Cool Things at Summer NAMM
In my experience, don't skip the little booths with start up companies -that's where the cool ideas and innovation are. The big companies make official announcements and communicate to everyone what they are doing outside of NAMM, so it's a waste if you spend all your floor time at NAMM in the big boy booths IMO

MXR’s minis are cool as usual.

Re: Cool Things at Summer NAMM
Seems like a fairly calm NAMM season. Fender has a few new guitars & pedals & amps. Eastman has a cool new semi-hollow. Line 6 has some new versions of old models. Are companies getting away from the NAMM release schedule and just releasing stuff throughout the year?

Line 6 has a stereo Powercab 212 Plus, with neodymium speaker magnets and 6 more builtin speaker models (which apparently are much more Amp-In-The-Room than standard IRs, probably something similar to Farfield IRs). Hopefully they make a Powercab 112 Plus Neo with the 3.5lb lighter neo speaker, eventually. They also did a firmware update for the PC112+ with the 6 extra speaker models. All nice stuff, but I suppose just obvious evolution of products.
There's a paradox for releasing new stuff when everyone else does, it means you get less impulse buys right at release, unless your product happens to be the most desirable and affordable for more people right then. But if you don't release stuff at the big shows, you can be dismissed as stagnant, not keeping up... Seems many are settling on releasing something then, but not necessarily the big stuff. Release timing of firmware updates seems to aim for around the shows, if at all possible.
I think guitar has always followed the shows less than synthesizers or pro audio, though.
