Summer NAMM '10: Pigtronix Keymaster walk-thru

One of the most talked about pedals at the 2010 Summer NAMM show wasn't an effects stomp at all... it was the Pigtronix Keymaster Re-amp Effects Mixer. So what does this nifty looking box do? For that we turn it over to Pigtronix's top hog Dave Koltai to give us a walk-thru of this unique routing tool.

Update on "Pickers 4 Pets" 6/19!

Greetings Tone Freqs!!! Summer NAMM 2010 is here! For the latest coverage of the show please visit the  Whats That Dude Play blog! I hope to have the site's main man Blake on the podcast next week to chat about the Summer session and his blog! It will be good times all the way around.

As far as tomorrow goes I have gotten word from my JonesWorld band mate Chris Famous that we will be auctioning off a signed item from Faith Hill and Tim McGraw! This will go a long way in helping out the ASPCA with animal shelters affected by the TN flooding. Thank you Chris! I have also gotten a ton of giveaways for the show from our sponsors including guitars, pedals, strings, amps and MORE! We also have gotten over 200 DVD's from the Rock House Method to give away at the event as well. So just about everyone should be walking home with something VERY cool!

The night of the concert also has some pretty cool surprises in store. Suffice to say that I have had to brush off some licks I haven't played in many many years for several all-star jams! In case you are not able to attend please feel free to visit http://TheRutledgeLMV.com's site for the LIVE Ustream feed to see all the happenings first hand!
