NUX B-8 PROFESSIONAL WIRELESS SYSTEM What caught my attention is the fact that the transmitter fits and charges magnetically on the receiver . I love this ! The more I looked at the B-8 , the more I liked it . Many products come out with a “ Swiss-Army ” approach and try to offer too many options . However , a tuner with multiple display options , the XLR output , the In / Out on both sides , and a built-in boost … I could use them all and only take up one pedal space . These are selling currently on Amazon for $ 334
JANICEK D-GRIP PICKS I ’ m not sure how many times a pick has made this 5 Cool Things list , but here we go . I ’ m a flat-pick guy and I used to not think I was picky , but I guess I am . I ’ ve come away from NAMM with literally hundreds of picks over the decades and this is one to remember . The sleek shape is comfortable , but it ’ s the grip that keeps me hanging on ! Once you put it in between your finger and thumb … you ’ ll know . At the show these were close to $ 1.00 each .
HOTONE TUNERPRESS This little volume pedal is a gem in several ways . It reminds me of the Visual Volume pedal I loved in years past . But with the addition of a tuner , and the ability to also be an expression pedal all within a small footprint , this pedal is worth looking at . The TunePress lists for $ 150 .
CROSSROCK CASES TWEED ACOUSTIC CASE Every great guitar deserves to rest in an awesome case . I couldn ’ t pass up the cool green tweed with dark brown trim . CROSSROCK has some incredible fiberglass cases that are sure to protect , but I like the rugged , old-school look of tweed and the fresh new color sold me ! The tweed case goes for less than $ 150 .
COVENANT GUITARS CUSTOM ‘ JOE ’ ACOUSTIC GUITAR Covenant caught my eye first because the logo looks just like the logo for my church . Then I noticed the tagline , “ Sounds of Faith ,” and I knew I had to circle back and get the story . Turns out this is definitely a company that wants to connect with the worship musician .
The Custom ‘ Joe ’ ( and most every other guitar ) is all solid , torrefied ( heat treated ) wood … the top , back , sides , neck , fingerboard , bridge … all torrefied . The Cocobolo , Custom ‘ Joe ’ lists for just under $ 4000 .
