Take a look at the stomps, pickups, and accessories that filled the halls of Musikmesse.
Norwayās Aalberg Audio previewed a cool crowd-funded delay pedal at Musikmesse 2014. Itās comprised of two components: Ekko, a digital delay stompbox with light meters to denote the delay time, feedback, and mix settings, and Aero, a small, ergonomic wireless controller that can be clip-mounted on your guitar, belt, or wherever. Aeroās push/pull pot lets you set tempo by tapping, scroll through effect parameters, and enter values. Itās the first in a planned series of remote-controllable effects.
Musikmesse isnāt what it used to be, show veterans say. Attendance is far from peak. There are fewer full exhibition halls. High participation costs (and the ability to announce and publicize products digitally) have prompted numerous companies to bypass the once-essential event.
But you know what? Messe is still huge.
NAMMās European equivalent, held each year in Frankfurt, Germany, is substantially larger than its Anaheim counterpart. Far louder, too: As at NAMM, āsound policeā armed with decibel meters patrol the floor, but theyāre slackers. Messe is deafening.
But, hey, whatās a little tinnitus when you get to spend four days ogling so many cool new music products? From March 12th through 16th we roamed the vast halls, marveling at superbly crafted boutique instruments, solid working-player tools, and some remarkable budget-gear bargains.
The show highlights? For North American players like us, itās probably the chance to fondle the phenomenal creations of small-production European shops whose instruments tend to be scarce in the States. The phrase āOld World craftsmanshipā may be a clichĆ©, but Messe schools you on how it became one. You can hardly turn around without being dumbstruck by a ravishing instrument that blends the engineering chops of Stuttgart or Turin with the design elegance of Milan or Barcelona.
But our report isnāt just some glamour-gear buyersā guide for investment bankers and lottery winners indulging in a European grand tour. Quality work and compelling style were equally evident in mid-priced gear for working stiffs and in some remarkable entry-level bargains.
Itās hard to summarize such a vast event with a simple tagābut if pressed, Iād go with āretro fun.ā Per usual, vintage-inspired designs reigned supreme. But we saw more manufactures playing with vintage aesthetics, recombining old-school elements in winning new ways. By and large, manufacturers seem to be having fun. We certainly wereāand itās not just the beer and schnitzel talking!
Timber Tones have added two new lines to their catalogāGroove Tones and Groove Tones Mini
United Kingdom (September 10, 2013) -- Timber Tones have added two new lines to their vast catalogue of plectrums. The new Groove Tones and Groove Tones Mini, include four plectrums (Bone, Horn*2 and Ebony) per line, CNC milled and hand finished. All eco-friendly and very hard to ware.
Groove Tones: Supreme comfort and support.
With a groove on one side for the first finger and a dimple on the other for the thumb, less pressure is needed to grip a Groove Tone plectrum. This is bliss for people with limited clenching abilities.
The sharp curved tip of a Groove Tone delivers excellent sustain with a precise attack, while the curvature holds the string until the last second for a clearer release.
Groove Tones Mini: Accuracy, fluidity and rapid note response.
With the same groove and dimple design, Groove Tone Mini plectrums are manufactured 3mm shorter in length and width, with more of a pronounced, curved tip. This design endorses extreme accuracy and intense contact with the strings ensuring a rapid note response. The smaller size of the Groove Tone Mini is perfect for players with small hands.
Groove Tones: Available in African ebony, clear horn, black horn and buffalo bone. RRP: Ā£4 each. Ā£15 pack of four
