The 2010 NAMM Wrap Up
Winter NAMM 2010 was a smashing success for Visual Sound. The record attendance in the booth -- along with rave responses to the new Garage Tone line -- kept the VS crew busy and in high spirits all through the 4-day run.
For many, a highlight of the show was seeing the new Visual Sound pedal display. The 'Obelisk of Tone' contains all current VS products, plus the 5 new GarageTone pedals. The 1 SPOT, not to be overlooked, was represented by a single unit powering the entire display. Pumping out the sound is a 10-watt powered speaker cab designed by Bob and R.G. featuring a 12" Celestion speaker, and especially designed to showcase pedals.
At the end of the show, Bob and company decided to put the display in one of their favorite southern California stores, Westwood Music.
Fred Walecki's Westwood Music is, by far, one of the most famous music stores of Southern California. Started by his father, Herman, the store originally specialized in rare violins and cellos. When young Fred took over in the late 60's, he transitioned the focus of the store to guitars. Soon, Westwood Music was the home-away-from-home for many of the architects of the California sound. These same players that Fred supported early on came to his support when he fought cancer a decade ago. A few of the artists that stepped up to help him in the form of a benefit concert included Crosby, Stills and Nash, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and the Eagles. Visual Sound is proud to have Westwood Music as the first store to have both the pedal display, and the first to have the GarageTone line to check out.
