John and I went out with Jojo Mayer and Nerve to play Sabian night at NAMM this year. John has been playing bass with Jojo for years and I've just started doing live sound for the band. For both of us it was our 1st visit to the insanity that is NAMM. Some of our favorite picks from the show were the new Korg rackmount DSD recorder, & Microkorg XL in sexy new colors, with a new new design and engine. Also the Rupert Neve console was looking super nice and they have some new AD/DA comverters heading to market that should be pretty cool. Wade from Chandler was showing some new 500 series EQ and compressors that sounded great too. The guys at Subdecay pedals were super nice and we hung out with them watching Blues Saraceno check out their range. My faves of theirs are the new Echo Delay, Noise Box, Liquid Sunshine and some crazy filtery Octave Fuzz thing that deosn't seem to be out yet.
There was so much more that we didn't get a chance to see but we definitely checked out some cool new products and met some great people.
