Subject:Re:Steve's New Rig / A question for the moderator

Again, this is all the result of a troll just trying to start up some b.s. Yes, Nord will be using Speakeasy Roadboxes at NAMM, and they are parternering up with package deals. But guess what: Steve wasn't even playing the Stage through Speakeasy Roadboxes, nor was he advertising the same thing. (You had to find that info by investigating his website.) He was playing the Stage through ancient Peavey PA Gear. (He didn't talk about that cuz he didn't want people giving him grief about using Peavey gear, which he actually likes.)

So once again, the troll has started a little controversy which has no basis.

Let's recap: Steve loves his Nord Stage, plays through a Speakeasy pre into Peavey p.a. gear. Steve didn't promote his preamp. Nord is buying some Roadboxes for NAMM, but Steve wasn't playing them, nor was he promoting them.

Can we kill this now?

So if NORD chose to use Behringer keyboard amplifiers at a NAMM Trade show,
you'd
be alright with Behringer posting clips here? Fine with me...I just wanted
to get your
meaning clear.

I believe the question is if the manufacturers of "good products" should be
the ones deciding that their product should be the ones deserving of "alot
of talk"
promoted by themselves here.

I believe there IS a Speakeasy Forum where this would be a good and regular
feature...but
I just wonder that every other keyboard and keyboard amplifier manufacturer
shouldn't have the same open door policy here toward posting clips in
connection with
their manufacturers trade show appearances or their new product
announcements.

I'm not even saying it's a bad thing. The original poster simply asked if he
could do it
with his products (real or imagined) also. It appears the correct answer
should
currently be: YES!
