    that guitar wing is something that piques my interest ... although wont fit my lefties by the looks of it

    Fender launching 4 more strats..... jeepers just how many different strats can there be :?

      I'm looking forward to trying ReValver 4 out. Seems like it will integrate nicely with my FCB1010.

      Not sure whether I am happy that they are going the in-app purchase route. I suppose all commercial amp sims are doing that now, but you end up paying a lot if you want a variety of amps and effects.
        H9 core is a good idea, wish it was a little cheaper. I'd happily have two H9's on my board, really amazing pedals ?
          That custom shop hollow body Tele..... ?. .. I'm drawn to it like a moth to a lamp...
            As a bit of a fan, I have to note that Carparelli guitars are featuring at their first NAMM Show this year! They are releasing an entirely new range of guitars, some of which are fitted as standard with a Zoom effects preamp in the upper wing. All looks very promising! ?

            Other than that, there's already many items I have my eye on, but can't mention any of them due to forum rules! So I'll just have to enjoy the GAS'ing all by myself! ?

            Regards
            G!
              Man, that hollow-body Tele is drool-worthy. ? ---> :applause:

                Am I the only one who thinks that the Tech 21 FlyRig looks amazing?

                  No, you're not.

                  It makes a lot of sense for gigging/travelling players and has already created quite a buzz. And while it's modelling, it's well-regarded analog modelling, so probably has enough cred for many of the more "purist" persuasion (aside from the Singemonkey-style "I'll stop using valve amps when you pull them from my cold, dead hands" crowd).
                    Wow they sound pretty good.

                    More than that, what a monster player Greg Koch is ???

                      You talkin' about the Fishman pickups?

                      ...yeah, Greg's a monster player. The schtick gets tiring after a while though.

                        Haha. But as I say, I want something like this as a backup. It's really usefully compact but... just not enough. I wish it was 1/3rd shorter. One thing the demo didn't make clear, does it have speaker emulation? Can you run it straight into the PA?

                        As long as people keep buying them... Given that 85% of the electrics I see on stage are strats, they clearly have more than enough takers.

                          It's only 29cm wide x 6.35cm deep, so smaller than it looks. That's small enough for many hard case pockets. Here's an "actual size" photo (not embedded as the forum will resize):

                          AFAIK, Yup. From their site:
                          At its heart is the omnipotent, all-analog SansAmp --a ground-breaking amp emulator, speaker and mic simulator
                          So it should work as well as any Sansamp.

                            Gotta say, it's the first all-in-one solution that might tempt me ...
                              Ok. That's even smaller than it looked in the demo. That may indeed fit into my main guitar's case pocket. It might be the perfect backup. As much of a multi-FX box as I'd ever need.

                                Looks like it will list for about $249, which is pretty good value for money

                                  Suppose they need to keep the name to keep sales up. A new name will be more difficult to sell ?
