The Stompbox Exhibit’s Essential Accessories Stompbox Exhibit - September 19 & 20 Main Drag Music, Williamsburg The Stompbox Exhibit is, of course, all about guitar pedals. But it couldn’t happen without some crucial “ancillary” equipment provided by our sponsors. Here’s a list of these helpful instruments and devices:
Truetone 1 Spot Pro Visual Sound, the Spring Hill, TN manufacturer of the ubiquitous small power supplier for pedals 1 Spot, is now called Truetone. To celebrate the news, the company unveiled two big sisters to the 1 Spot family: the CS7 and the CS12. These will be powering the Stompbox Exhibit’s mixed boards. The brick-style PSUs use the same technology, but take things to the next level, via isolated inputs, worldwide input voltage and 9Vdc, 12 Vdc, and 18 Vdc options.
AKG K553 Austrian manufacturer AKG makes some of the most sought-after, high-end studio microphones and headphones. They will provide a pair of their K553 PRO closed-back studio headphones for each of the display pedalboards at our Stompbox Exhibit. With their 50mm drivers, the K553 provide a strong, yet accurate and distinguished bass response as needed for monitoring and mastering.
George L’s Cables Cables are an essential link between all the components involved in any audio setup and Nashvillebased George L’s transparent-sounding, high-end guitar cables are the first choice of many pro guitarists.
D’Addario NYXL Strings On top of that, George L’s created the first high-end cable that doesn’t require stripping or soldering,
easily allowing any musician to customize its size or create it from scratch.
Atomic Amps Amplifire Born of a collaboration between guitar modelers/designers Atomic Amps and Studio Devil, the Amplifire is a powerful amp tone and multi-effects pedal. It is also sponsoring (and amplifying) the Stompbbox Exhibit’s mixed boards (i.e. boards of pedals organized by type of effect). Among its many features, Amplifire can load third party speaker impulses, faithfully recreating the experience of playing through the greatest guitar amps of all-time.
Long Island string manufacturer D’Addario last year launched a new line of guitar strings that proudly features the letters “NY” in its name: NYXL. The set represents a complete redesign from the ground up that reportedly allows the new product to be stronger, more durable, more easily bendable, and less likely to go out of tune than the regular nickel-plated steel string.
Stompblox The modular pedalboard concept introduced by Stompblox is perfect for those guitarists who can’t help but keep adding pedals to their chain. At 12.5” wide by 8.5” deep, the basic stompbox unit is perfect for a 3 pedal starter setup. Add a second unit, attach it to the other one on either side, and you get space for 3-4 more pedals (and so on and on). A series of other attachable elements provide guitarists with an innovative, flexible and functional format.
