GALLERY: Summer NAMM 2016 Day 1

Here's a taste of the gear we came across during the first day of Summer NAMM, with tone toys from Fender, Seymour Duncan, Bullhead Amplification, and more.

JangleBox J-Boost

JangleBox's new at ‪‎NAMM‬ J-Boost is a beautifully dynamic and touch sensitive boost with functionality that's enhanced by a very sensitive and rangy set of treble, mid, and bass controls. It's a heavenly match for a Telecaster as I discovered, but with such a tunable and transparent nature it's no doubt an ideal boost partner for any axe. $215 street.
