Now that the NAMM dust has settled, what are you getting?

[hippietim]

For the most part my only gear interests these days are smaller and lighter FRFR, guitar synths, and the oddball effect or two. Fractal has cured me of wanting to buy a gazillion amps and effects these days. I'll see something and think it'd be cool but then think about it and realize it will never actually make the rig.

Two things stood out for me this NAMM though - 30th anniversary JEM and the Geddy Lee SansAmp. I used to have one of the original green JEMs so I had to order one of these 30th models. As luck would have it, they're doing a lefty version as well so my son is getting one (fortunately there's a bunch of time before those ship). The Geddy Lee unit sounds great from all the demos and will make a nice addition to the recording setup I've got.

I see no way to pre order the JEM...too early, or did I already miss da boat?

I was intrigued by Synergy Amps. Their new modules have me thinking of how I might have a best of both worlds setup. Great looking gear.

They are already sold out to dealers. Sweetwater no longer has them listed so they sold out. You could try Rich at Ibanez Rules - http://www.ibanezrules.com/new/2017.htm

Digitech FreqOut Pedal !

$4600 jem price is almost offensive. :/

Helix Native (unless Axe PC is released first).

Really was excited when that JEM was announced but the price....

 

[Diego]

What Ian said.....
Too expensive...

MAP is way lower than that and I got mine way lower than MAP

After visiting NAMM for four days I have to say that nothing on guitar side excites me too much....
Amps -> well I have even too much in the Axe
Guitars -> tried a bunch of new fender "professional" and new Gibson with autotuners but I prefer what I have at home
Maybe I will be interested in some studio gear but I have to think about what I have and I don't use now before getting new ones.

Plus Pedal and Digitech Freqout. Love these kind of things. Also want to try new EB "unbreakable" strings and also new Optiweb Elixirs.

I really like the new Frequout pedal from Digitech. Might have to pick one up if there isn't a good way to simulate it using the AX8.

 

[pima1234]

Sounds like a good plan, on paper, at least. If they deliver, awesome!

I'm getting lint in my pockets...oh wait - that was there before NAMM

 

[faulknier]

The EB Paradigm strings look interesting. Might have to try a set. I stopped using EB's originally because I broke them too easily.

Digitech FreqOut Pedal !

I can't wait to try out this pedal!

Ibanez Rules had them for $3600 which, yes, is lower than MAP, but is still absurdly high IMO.

I mostly have a hankering for a custom-made hollowbody from Artinger these days. But I'm starting to get a little pull towards a Suhr Classic Pro -- that HSS setup is nice and that neck is really comfy.

Just getting older. Perhaps also getting worse for wear.

How is the Digitech FreqOut different than the Boss Feedback Booster?
