NAMM 2021 Believe In Music Week

The year's most important even moves online!

So you’ve probably guessed it. NAMM isn’t happening in the usual way. In response to COVID, the international trade show is going virtual.

The new NAMM Believe In Music Week is a five-day, online experience not just limited to the 120,000+ retailers, brand ambassadors, press personnel, and guests who usually attend the in-person convention in Anaheim, California. Instead, anyone can participate in digital presentations, interviews, artist performances, product demonstrations, and training sessions free of charge!

It’s all of the fun, fascination, and frenzied excitement of regular NAMM, but, you know, digital. Users can interact with retailers, request private meetings, explore the marketplace, attend events, even learn a thing or two.

As for us, we’ll be there, and we’ll keep you informed of all the best, brightest, and most bonkers new stuff like we always do, so keep checking in for more new product releases and announcements from the online frontline. We’ve got you covered.

The ‘68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful modifications that resonate with today’s players.

The ‘68 Custom Pro Reverb takes its cues from the original 40-watt model, improving its portability and tonal flexibility by reducing the cabinet size and weight, moving to a single-channel format and single 12” speaker, and adding a middle tone control. This refined and upgraded amp is the perfect size and volume for almost any gig, and may be the ultimate pedal-friendly platform.

$999.99
The ’68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful modifications that resonate with today’s players. 

At just 5 watts, the original Vibro Champ was famous for classic Fender tremolo, tube sparkle and killer grind at a reasonable level. The ’68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb improves on this classic amp by adding hall-emulating DSP reverb and using a larger 10” speaker for increased low end. These additions make this little wonder perfect for rehearsal, home recording and even small gigs.

IBANEZ BETS BIG ON BASS IN 2021!

Ibanez’s winter catalog is bursting with beautiful finishes and high-performance prizes. Basses lead the pack this year, beginning with an earth-shaking short-scale. 

The Ibanez SR5CMLTD/SR4CMLTD Premium Limited Caribbean Islet Low Gloss’s panga panga/purpleheart neck and curly maple/ash/walnut body may look real laid back, but the dual Nordstrand Big Single pickups and custom 3-band EQ with mid frequency switch would disagree. Available in 4- and 5-string models.

Headstocks, who needs ‘em! The Ibanez EHB1005SMS Ergonomic Headless Bass 5-String Multi Scale brings back the lost look, adding a multi-scale roasted maple/walnut five-piece neck, roasted birdseye maple fretboard, and dual Bartolini BH2 pickups with a Vari-mid 3-band EQ and EQ bypass switch.

Sequential Prophet-5 Desktop Module

$2,599.99
Fast on the heels of the reintroduction of its legendary Prophet-5 synthesizer, Sequential has created a desktop version of the acclaimed instrument. It features the same authentic vintage sound and front-panel controls as the Prophet-5 keyboard, but in a smaller form factor designed for portability and space-conscious studios.

Like the original, the new Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 modules feature two multi-waveform analog oscillators, analog resonant low-pass filters and amplifiers, and a filter and amplifier envelope per voice. Modulation is provided by a multi-waveshape LFO and Poly Mod, a ground-breaking modulation scheme for its time that allowed the filter envelope and oscillator B to be routed to a variety of destinations including filter cutoff frequency, oscillator A frequency, and oscillator A pulse width.

And just like the new Prophet-5 Rev 4 keyboards, the modules feature genuine Curtis VCOs and filters as used in the Prophet-5 Rev 3, as well as the Dave Rossum-designed SSI 2140 filter — the modern counterpart of the original SSM 2040 Rossum designed in the Prophet-5 Rev 1 and Rev 2. A Rev switch on the front panel allows users to switch between the two as desired.

Also present is the new Vintage knob, which loosens up the oscillators, filters, and envelopes from voice to voice as they typically are in vintage Prophet-5s. Users can dial in progressively more vintage character from a very stable “4,” as in Prophet-5 Rev4, all the way to “1,” as in Prophet-5 Rev1, which was the most temperamental of all Prophet-5s. The original factory sound set is included as well.

Other modern enhancements include velocity sensitivity and aftertouch to increase expressiveness, as well as MIDI and USB connectivity. Control voltage and gate ins/outs are also present for connecting modular synths and other gear. The new modules are housed in a premium-quality, steel case with hand-oiled sustainable black walnut heartwood trim.
