I’ll laugh my ass off if this is legit. Found it in a FB group earlier this week and forgot I saved it. The Hollywoodrock website just seems like some kind of AliExpress-style agency for musicians.

Did they do a reveal video with that Japanese voice over guy doing his best Troy McClure impersonation from the HoTone videos?

GR55 successor will be the only thing I could think of to move the needle for me atm.

For now, at least

I'd check out a BOSS GX-1000 if it had XLR outs and some other more premium features over the GX-100.

My NAMM predictions:

Lots and lots of “game changers” and more crap that will trend-set.

Haha. That reminds me of the year when PRS showed up with a bunch of gradient fade guitars and I was thinking "yuk... I wonder how long that will last - how many people will want those?".

Sure enough... none of that on the PRS website now.

I think there may have been a couple of other manufacturers doing that too

Ha. I had the same reaction to relic finishes.

- More plugin manufacturers hooking up with soundcard manufacturers to bundle lite versions of their plugins with the HW, in the vain hope of upgrade paths
- The next round of Ibanez guitars looking exactly the same as the last round
- Same for Fender
- Same for Gibson
- Hall E will still be full of nutters and crap Chinese upright pianos that no-one wants to buy
- NAMMTHRAX will kill everyone!

Looks like a new Neuman audio interface including built in EQ, dynamics and reverb processing. Kinda pricey, but looks like you get more for the buck than you do with UA Apollo stuff.

Would never predict this, but I'd love to see a Boss GX-1. With AIRD.

Same great form factor, same usability, and powered by (rechargeable) AAs. And similar price-point....

(That ought to hold me over until that FM0 thingy comes along....)

I didn't read the entire thread...

My SWAG...

A bunch of guitar manufacturer's putting some new finish on the same designs we've seen at least for the last decade, or more people jumping on the relic'd bandwagon that mostly aged out at least a decade ago. Less booths, and presence overall.

I think most of what we'll see are related to audio interfaces and software related innovation.

Maybe a new amp or two, but most activity or big announcements will likely delay until Summer or the end of Summer.

I predict the new UA pedals’ prices will hit the perfect sour spot.

$350. Not bad.

Looks like NDSP is (finally!) showing off the Quad Cortex desktop editor too.
