[Exhibiting at the 2019 Winter NAMM Show]
The 2019 Winter NAMM show, held in Anaheim, CA. (January 24th to 27th)
This is our second consecutive time exhibiting at the world’s largest music merchandise expo. Last year(2018) was our first time exhibiting, but it felt as if we “participated” instead of “exhibiting”. The experience was so overwhelming that my stay in the US and at the NAMM Show ended so quickly.
From last year, we as String Driver took part at the 2019 Winter Namm with the help of Tri-Sound Inc. who is taking care of our sales and relations. From the past news and announcements, Tri-Sound Inc.(Vemuram) has collaborated with Hoshino Japan to re-create a new generation Tube Screamer merging the “Jan Ray” and the legendary TS808. Thanks for their huge amount of support we were able to display our String Driver cabs at the Ibanez booth as well.
For myself as well, this experience will definitely be a step forward to our brand String Driver. We will keep striving and working towards the Dumble Style cabinets, but we are looking to adapt to the customers needs and looking to take a step forward in the music industry. Thank you all for your support!

Compared to the first day, having slightly layout arrangements many artists and our dealers came by to sign our panel, brings out the products to sight. Next year we will upgrade our booth and looking forward to seeing everybody at next years NAMM show.

The highlight of the product was the collaboration between “Ibanez x Vemuram = TSV808". From the help of their sales and marketing, we as String Driver had the privilege to display and test our new model the SD212N. (Photo : Loaded with Celestion G12-65)

We are happy to announce a new model, an open back 4x10 inch cabinet to our lineup. Using light weight Pine veneer(Goyomatsu) and assembling by dove-tail joint, the 4x10 cab is only 20kg. (Standard speaker : Celestion G10 Vintage x4) Having the characteristics of the 10 inch speaker lets you achieve the High frequencies and the clarity of each note. Compared to the 12 inch models, the SD410 has an efficient amount of volume and resonates very well with clear low-end. Giving you a more delicate tone to your guitar.
