Guitar Gear Gems: Friedman The Plex and more NAMM 2024 gear
Friedman The Plex iamp head s coming in 2024
This week on Guitar Gear Gems we take a look at some of the new products announced at NAMM 2024. The show has now finished and lots of great new gear was revealed throughout the event, so we have chosen a few of our highlights.
NAMM 2024
This year’s NAMM event was possibly the best one in quite some time. It was missing some of the larger guitar brands including Fender and Gibson, yet it still managed to reveal some pretty interesting new gear coming out in 2024. They have already confirmed NAMM 2025 for next January and it will be running between the 21st and 25th, and exhibits will take place between the 23rd and 25th.
This year we saw some great guitar releases and below are some of the highlights of the event.
Friedman The Plex
At Gearnews we are all huge fans of Dave Friedman’s work and now he has recreated his personal 1968 Marshall Plexi amp. Named The Plex it includes a built-in Variac, plus internal jumper controls which can be blended, plus a Master Volume.
Van Halen in a box
Dave states in the video that it sounds like Van Halen in a box, and we believe him! It doesn’t show up on their main site yet, at the time of writing this. However, I’m sure it will be up there very soon.
REVV Amplification
Next up, is the new REVV Amplification Generator 120 10th Anniversary priced at $3299 and the new three-channel 50-watt G50 model priced at $2099.
Generator 120 10th Anniversary
The 10th Anniversary Generator 120 Rev. B is a limited edition MK3 amplifier and has some nice Custom Shop tweaks. It includes all four Revv Generator channels and signature voicing options.
This model includes the Stereo direct XLR out Two notes Audio Engineering Torpedo-embedded reactive load and DynIR Virtual Cabinets. Along with full MIDI control, onboard noise gate, and reverb.
Those Custom shop modifications include increased response to pick attack, midrange aggression, and an open tone. It comes in a Limited 10th Anniversary Edition silver faceplate and black bronco headshell. This one will be limited to only 200 units worldwide.
G50
This 50-watt high gain EL34 powered G50 amp head looks compact and has plenty of great rock tones available. It includes Blue Clean and Green Crunch channels, along with the Purple High Gain channel.
Along with Two notes Torpedo-embedded stereo-direct-XLR-out reactive load and dynIR technology. Plus, a built-in noise gate and reverb, a buffered FX Loop, and comprehensive switching options.
Suhr 2024
Suhr revealed this new finish for the Andy Wood Signature Modern T model at the show and it looks great. No details on the Suhr site just yet, but one to look out for this year. The Modern Limited Edition also looks pretty tasty, again no real details as yet.
BluGuitar AMP X
Thomas Blug was also at NAMM 2024 showing off the latest pre-production version of the BluGuitar AMP X and it sounds pretty damn fine. He came up with the idea of creating an all-analog Nanotube amp a few years back, and this is the latest incarnation if you are interested and want to find out more then you can sign up to be notified once it gets an official release.
