The Annual NAMM predictions rumours thread 2024

[laxu]

I mean, I'm not put off by multi-effects, but if I'm walking up to a booth to play some pedals, I'm not gonna wanna also have to figure out how to adjust stuff on a new Muti-effect I've never used just to dial the amp tone to fit the guitar I'm using.

Which is why I assume they have a few presets dialed in nicely and can just fire one of those up for you.

BTW it seems like NeuralDSP just never showed up based on Kohle Audio Kult's video where he said he had been there for two days. NeuralDSP just decided to be ballers with a SOON sign.

So Plini’s real name is Mick? He needs to grow a porn stash and start wearing chaps on stage.

Is Tosin carrying a purse?

Hm. Well they definitely didn't blow it off either.

Stanley Jordan for Fractal Audio at NAMM, Jan 27

Well, there are many Fractal artists that were there...

And there's Red Sound / Lyon & Healy... Which happens to have a connection to Fractal, and there are a number of Fractal artists who are there demoing their gear...

I think the correct term is Murse

Pretty sure they want someone to answer “SoOn”

There's this updated flat panel speaker thing with "FRFR", preamp, cab only, and amp and cab modes.

NAMM 2024: “This cutting-edge design ushers in an unprecedented era of sustainable audio engineering”: This amp cabinet is absurdly slim and so light it can be worn with a guitar strap – meet Eminent Technology's latest innovation, the Model Twenty-T

At just 16.5lbs, the new development can serve as an "FRFR" cab for your multi-effects modeling needs, or as a dedicated amp and cab for a regular pedalboard

I’ve wondered about this for a while. I would love to hear an honest reaction from a trusted source about them.

Bro he’s clearly referring to the FM9 MkII. What’s the point of playing coy?

 

[Lysander]

Ok, so let's assume it's a marketing stunt from NDSP. What's the purpose? Do they really gain attraction from potential new customers?

Mindshare advertising. Is the same reason why companies like IBM and Oracle fight to get their logo on stadiums.

Again, pretty smart for the $6,000 - $10,000 NDSP likely spent on booth space. NAMM organizers probably fucking hate it thou.

I predict they will have a rule prohibiting this next year. Attendees aren’t paying to see signs.

Agree with the eye roll 100%.

It's really not as funny as they seem to think it is (and was a FAS meme in the first place).

I'm not playing anything. And why would I? I don't work for them...

I understand what he's referring to.

Maybe Fractal is doing a stealth marketing campaign by allowing some artists / partners to use a yet to be released product?

That's not their typically M.O. and I was actually surprised when I saw the first picture posted.

But who knows? I guess that's a great way to get the benefit of going to NAMM without the headaches of actually going...

 

[Stone]

How fitting....

 

[DrewJD82]

Funny, I busted their balls for going to NAMM last year while not just staying focused on getting shit done, however, I still want to give them shit this year.

I guess I just don't get their sense of humor? If it's a joke, it's aimed at pretty much their customer base and a small handful of naysayers on the internet. If it's for marketing, what's the desired result, people will look up NDSP and A) if they already know who NDSP is, see they're still just working on porting plug-ins 3 years later, or B) if they have no clue who NDSP is, look at it and say "Oh, some guitar shit"

I mean, NAMM isn't really the place you make people do homework to find out about your product. It's the complete opposite of that.

 

[TubeStack]

I think it's lame too, however that ^^^ is the third or fourth time the pic has been posted here (and subsequently NDSP talked about).

I feel like I’m at an art exhibit where some dog just shit on a wall and everyone is saying it’s genius and I’m one of the few who thinks it’s literally dog shit.
