Summer NAMM 2012
Booth#1409

The attendance for this show was much better than 2011. We were a little short staffed as David Schneider was sick right before we left. But there was a ton of people down from Cincinnati to help out and so the show went on as planned.

2012 Kelly and I manned the booth alone since Dave Schneider could not make it. We had from left to right the new 500 Series AD/DA converter iKodek run by a MacBook Air with full Apple Logic setup with MIDI pedal system Neve 517 and Roll Music RMS5A7 mic preamps setup for DI input with a set of Focal Monitors. Maple ToneBank combo, Silver ToneBack head with dual 10" speaker cabinets. Fano GR001 custom guitar and the Schneider Silver Emerald ran the guitar setup this year. Thanks for all that came out and spent it with us!


Summer NAMM 2011
Booth# 1409


Compared to 2010 this years show seemed like a whirlwind of activity. The larger booth, better positioning and really cool guitars, amplifiers and 500 series digital stuff really set the tone for the show at 10am day 1.

The Mahogany Speaker Cabinet with the Century 12 Neo Celestion, pedal board and the new EDI battery powered gain block for those acoustics and such that need a little more gain from their pickups.

The Schneider arsenal of guitars that really pleased the crowd as well as the sitar. My two heads including the copper based Tone Bank 6V6 (8W) and the ultra cool Tone Bank 84 Silver (8W) single ended amplifiers. The Tone Bank 84 uses the RCA 5693 input pentode (red) and the 6072A for second stage gain and the reactor follower circuit. The solid brass billets on each of the amplifiers are tube shields. Premier Guitars Editor Pick Day 2!

Premier Guitars Editor Pick Day 2: I would like to thank the whole crew from Premier Guitars. They were at the booth every day commenting on how cool the setup was. Dave’s Gem series guitars featuring the Turquoise and Emerald were a big hit as these were the first to use the new Zephyr series Silver Wired Pickups really brought in the crowd.
