I've been following the press releases from the 2001 NAMM and, at least for guitarists, there didn't seem to be any "gotta have it" new products released this year...

Did I miss something? Anyone see anything you "gotta have" that wasn't available before?

I'm not sure about the "gotta have", but I am interested in checking out the new CyberTwin amp from Fender and the new twin pedals from Boss.

Hey Guitplayer,

I was there on Saturday. - not the best day to go. I really didn't see all that much that blew me away. The new fender cyber twin demo was kind of cool. Unfortunatley, there was some shredder kid that was playing every note he could think of in 10 seconds so loud that I couldn't really get a good vibe on the amp.

Overall, I thought most of the stuff that really made me drool was in Pro Audio. The new Control 24 from Digi looks great.

I was really looking for a guitar synth that has rock solid tracking with external voice modules. That I have not seen.

<<with external voice modules. That I have not seen.>>>

The Stepp Guitar, SynthAxxe, and the Yamaha G1O are the only guitar synths that had solid tracking but they are no longer made. The Steep and the SynthAxxe had wired frets and the Yamaha used ultrasonic tracking.

All pitch-to-MIDI have delays. The Roland GR33 with uses internal sounds is the fastest thing out now.

Thanks or the info.

I checked out the GR-33. Very nice sounds and internal tracking.
