Winter NAMM 2011 rumour mill!

[Bryan R. Tyler]

I hate this time of year. Whenever I read about something to be debuted at NAMM, I suffer from the GAS.

The only thing I dislike is that some companies announce awesome stuff I want, but then don't have it commercially available for another 4 months.

Or even worse, announce it, then don't even have it ready by the time the next Winter NAMM rolls around...

I've seen a lot of those too- luckily, the only one of those that ever really interested me was the Epifani Piccolo amps, and I got over them after a short while.

 

[Joe Gress]

Oh Plaster Caster and Holley Erectus, how we seek thee, but you never come....





Oh well.

 

[sonic assassin]

Get psyched.

:faint:

 

[BruceBass3901]

Wow

I can't wait for clips of this

 

[Balog]

What are these? Love the graphics.

Hmm, this is definitely something I'm interested in. I'm struggling to gauge the size of it though. It looks huge but I'm not convinced it's as big as it looks...

Gnash,...looks like it's about the size of the VTBD or PBDDI. I think it would clash with your shoes

Really? I think they'd go together perfectly. There's only one way to find out...

 

[gnasher1993]

New EHX...

They're stupidly ugly, but potentially cool... formant filter anyone?

 

[warwick.hoy]

Memory Man with TT? Color me interested,....still want the 919 though.

Talking Machine? Vocoder?

RE the Looperlative,...considering the LP1 has an MSRP of ~$1250 it be nice if the LP2 was competitively priced.

According to www.ehx.com...

The programmable Stereo Talking Machine, Vocal Formant Filter, presents creative vowel shaping that is controlled by the player’s dynamics. Nine selectable Voices deliver vowel sounds such as AH-OO and OW-EE.

Sounds like it's sort of a semi-talkbox. Doesn't hold much appeal to me.

Sounds like some fluffy words for an envelope filter to me.

Yeah, I think that the DigiTech BSW will do pretty much what the Talking Machine will do, but you can buy it for $50, instead of whatever EHX will be charging for the TM.

$300. Preorder is $270, which I'm seriously considering. International shipping and handling is $70 though (not to mention all the fees that'll get added on which it reaches UK customs) which is all that's stopping me at the moment.

Looks like that Malekko 919 has a tilt LP/HP filter like the SMMH. This is an awesome feature for bass as you can filter the lows out of the repeats to prevent the lows from getting too muddy.

Shame they made the blend 50/50 in the middle, that's one thing that pisses me off about the SMMH, it can result in a volume drop at most settings. I prefer the 100% dry with effect level knob as on the Carbon Copy!

If the Talking Box is as fully featured a formant filter as it looks, then it will be way different than the BSW. There's an advanced formant filter on my Axe-FX, and you can get some really interesting/crazy sounds out of it that would be tough to find in a pedal that has less specific features than that EHX pedal has.

I'm surprised they put out a Nano Mistress though- I never thought there was that much demand for the modern Electric Mistress to warrant it.
