Deli StompBox Exhibit Arrives at SXSW — March 15-16
With all the schmoozing going on at SXSW, it’s only natural that you’d want to stop shaking hands and STOMP on something.
It’s a no-brainer to be at the Deli StompBox exhibit at SXSW. (click flyer to enlarge)
For all of you who want to go feet first for a few minutes at SXSW, the Deli StompBox Exhibit will be just perfect. It runs March 15-16, at the Clayworks Gallery, 1209 E 6th St, Austin, and will put you in contact with 200+ pedals for the auditioning.
Don’t just toe the line: Bring your guitar (or use a demo six-string), plug in, and have fun! Here are the full details, straight from the Deli Magazine:
After launching the “StompBox Exhibit” concept in 2011 – i.e. a compact display of guitar pedals which allows visitors to test and compare them in the headphones – and after the successes of the 2012 edition at Main Drag Music in Brooklyn – which saw 23 manufacturers and 5 sponsors involved – The Deli Magazine and Delicious Audio are presenting the first edition of the Austin StompBox Exhibit.
200+ Pedals in the “Live Music Capital of the World”
This free, interactive, in-the-headphones display of guitar pedals will coincide with the busiest days of the famous live music festival hosted by the Texan city every March. It’s scheduled for Friday and Saturday March 15 and 16 in a room facing Austin’s most frequented stroll: East 6th Street, in the middle of Austin’s East Side (the city’s “hipstery” neighborhood a few blocks East of downtown).
The exhibit will attract thousand of pro and semi-pro guitarists who will flood the Texas capital in search of gigs and exposure during the biggest live music event in the US. Musicians are invited to bring their own guitars and plug them in directly into the pedals (there will be demo guitars available). They will be able to test the pedals directly in the headphones, which will be plugged into an amp emulation unit and an headphone preamp.
