Namm 2025 predictions

[GTR37]

Getting to that time of year
About less than a month away , thought I would start the annual thread to post rumour or things that might have been hinted at

Again it’s been a pretty quiet year what is known

Synergy new 20ir
Something Toneking and announcement of 2 new

Freidman: hinted at his full featured 20 Watt BE DLX possibly with the synergy stuff incorporated

Line 6 : DI has said there will be no new hardware announcements but something cool for the PodGo crowd ,Likely update.

Kemper : most likely nothing new

NDSP: announcing coming update content for QC and I suspect as well. Maybe a new plug-in

AmpX

I think it’s going to be a slow year for products

Anyone have any ideas

 

[mercifulfuzziness]

Tonemaster Super Reverb with an attenuator so it can get to normal volumes?

 

[mercifulfuzziness]

Or wasn’t this a wishlist?

 

[SillyOctpuss]

It's been a long time since I've been excited for namm. It's sad because it used to be one of my favourite times of year with loads of new cool stuff to drool over.

There really just isn't anywhere else to go. It kinda sucks!

 

[mercifulfuzziness]

Companies don’t need trade shows anymore.

They have digital.

 

[Dave Lewis]

Looks like Fender will be there this time.
So probably more guitar models nobody wants

 

[metropolis_4]

They seem to be advertising amps for this year. I don’t know exactly what but seems like there will be amp announcements

 

[Jynx]

Schecter- a new guitar that looks nice but has the wrong specs. Or a new guitar with all the right specs but doesn't look great.

Ya I think the Amp builders are getting fed up w modelling and you will start to see more with integrated IR
Load box , noise gate like the Revv

There is talk of a new Mesa

A real amp with the feeling of a tube but modeler would be interesting

Unfortunately the katana is not my taste and still has to many options

Plug and play

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Henning P. hinted at a really expensive Marshall amp.

 

[Eagle]

Another way of rehashing the Helix tech or was that every year?

If mesa did a tube preamp w ir loading in a compact head it would not surprise me
Doug west talked about modelling and basically said if you can’t beat them join em
In regards to Mesa signing off
With NDSP and Amplitube 5

Maybe we will see a Recto collab or 3 amp suite with NDSP

DI said no hardware announcements so I am thinking no more Helix SKUs

I am probably not unique in not minding a good looking amp that sound really good in the room instead of the stomp with studio monitors.

It could be like that old Line6 / Bogner collab.

Mesa designs the amp, but it's MIC. Amplitube provides the digital models.

What's scary is that modeling is good enough now that this would actually sound amazing.

if only one could run a Stomp into something besides studio monitors.

My 28lb. Helix Combo amp

I started to make a light pine 1x12" cab for my Helix Stomp board and it quickly morphed into a little more than just a cab - pics below. Power-amp is built into the inside of the cab. With Stomp board stowed and secured, the whole shebang with C. Rex 12" speaker, HX Stomp board (including...

Cant go there. I am banned. But I mean, just like a Fender ToneMaster Deluxe.
