NAMM '07 New Gear

With all the interest in the new Ibanez lineup, it might be intersting to see what the other companies have up their sleeves.

I'll start it off with Roland/BOSS as they have a huge amount of new gear up on their site:

I had a feeling the US shops were clearing the VG-88 out at almost half the price it sells for over here. The VG-99 looks promising:

with these two lines sticking out for me:

Dual GT-Pro-class effects processor

and

three powerful new processors at its core

Hopefully with videos to follow.:)

Have to say, nothing there to interest me. Bad Roland, make more stuff I want!

Anyone see the Behringer DMM ripoffs yet? Lol

Haha they seem to be seriously ripping some boss classics too! Slowgear and Dimension C etc

Begone with your humble multifx! Heralding in a new era of GAS are the sickeningly good Eventide Stompboxes!

The new MoogerFooger looks pretty immense as well

The KAOSS Pad mini is crying out to be hacked into a guitar

What I'm most excited about is the new Arturia Origin Synthesiser - it allows you to use some of the greatest synths of all time (Moog Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, minimoog and Prophet VS) and combine their filters/osc/ADSR like lego.

jimi_t, post of the year so far. They're my kind of gizmos!

But two additional knobs on the VG Strat's pickguard—plus a small LED and an inconspicuous Roland® GK bridge pickup—bring with them some new magic. These two knobs, a Mode Control knob and a Tuning Function knob, serve up incredible and seemingly limitless new sonic possibilities.
The Mode Control knob governs five distinct modeling modes: Normal, Modeled Stratocaster, Telecaster, Humbucking Pickups and Acoustic. In the "Normal" mode, the guitar's three single-coil pickups bypass the VG circuit, for a straight Stratocaster guitar sound.The Tuning Function knob lets guitarists choose among five alternate tunings (Normal, Drop D, Open G, D Modal, Baritone) and a 12-string sound. And since guitarists don't have to turn a single tuning key, a major benefit of all these instant tuning changes is that the string tension remains the same and the guitar itself feels the same

The Room Acoustic Control looks handy on the mixer.

I like the new FDR1 pedal myself ...nice n twangy.Handy way to get that nice fender sound without having to buy a fender amp.sounds very close to the real thing too

Pity that Moog Freqbox is totally unusable, it sounded deadly in the Moog promotional track thing before it was out, but then i saw the NAMM demo...

Sorry to drag this thread back up, but it's worth it for the amount of videos that are on this link. Fender-vg, digitech vocalist, a short demo of a moog theremin, check out the roland vg-99 played on a guitar with all the normal pickups taken out relying on just the gk pickup. Also a slightly creepy vid for the gibson LP digital. He should take lessons from the yamaha motif demo.:p

Checking back on that link just now and they've already added a bunch of extra videos just tonight, including a peavey windsor studio amp, a vox ac15 heritage amp and a few extra korg and garritan clips.
