The 2010 Winter NAMM show Wrap-up

          This year's NAMM show held great significance to the music industry. It was proof of good numbers despite the economy, and how music can survive any economic situation. As an annual show in Anaheim, CA, NAMM typically showcases the newest products and technologies, as well as upcoming artists. More info after the jump..

Review of iStrobosoft

Peterson has been well known for making the industry standard tuners for decades. Their technology for strobe tuning has been unmatched, and their continuous improvement and innovation keep them on top. As a guitar tech and as a guitar player, being in tune and set-up correct has been something that I’ve strived for all the time - and their latest product for the iPhone and iPod touch, iStrobosoft, delivers.

NAMM at Nashville, TN

I was always told to keep busy by about every guru that I know, so I have tried to keep to that mentality.

So, I continue to work with one of my friends, Francisco Pena, who owns and runs tonepad.com and abovegroundfx.com

Both him and I decided to enter the guitar effect pedal market for good this past December, with him as the owner and me as a PR director/Contracted technician. Tonepad was started by Francisco in 2002, and Aboveground was started in 2009, so it's been quite a journey. I will continue to provide him help for the foreseeable future, as I have done since 2003 with him.

Here is a video I compiled together of our booth at the show, showing some of my imovie and HD cam work. And as our first time exhibiting, we had a greater reception than we had anticipated.
