Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo October 17-18 US
\nHeadphones-only demoing, 100+ brands \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a009\/10\/26<\/p>\n
Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo is back in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on October 17-18, taking over a 7,000-square-foot warehouse with more than 100 brands showing synths, pedals and modular gear. The show is staged with Three Wave Music, the long-running New York synth store, and Tonewolf, a local guitar shop, and is expected to draw around 2,000 musicians, producers and gear obsessives. An Sonicstate will be there to cover it!<\/p>\n
What separates it from a conventional trade show is the format: everything is demoed in headphones. No blaring PA, no fighting the booth next door. Founder Paolo De Gregorio puts it plainly: “This is an event built for discovery. The headphone format creates a respectful space where you can truly hear the nuances of a boutique pedal or get lost in a massive modular patch – without the noise of a typical convention. It’s a focused, community-driven experience.”<\/p>\n
New this year are “Intro to Synthesis” workshops – hands-on patch-building sessions and deep dives into modular workflows, led by working artists and builders. A full schedule is promised soon, so worth checking before you plan the weekend.<\/p>\n
The exhibitor list reads like a who’s who of the current pedal and synth boom. On the pedal side: Chase Bliss, Strymon, ZVEX, Death By Audio, Electro-Harmonix, Meris, Red Panda, Vongon, Fairfield Circuitry, JAM pedals, Rainger FX, Benson Amps, Neural DSP, BOSS, MXR and Dunlop, plus a used-pedal table from Pedals to Metal.<\/p>\n
On the synth side: Buchla, Sequential, Elektron, Korg, Roland, Arturia, Novation, Dreadbox, Expressive E, Melbourne Instruments, Groove Synthesis, 1010 Music, Soma, Eventide, Synclavier, Bitwig, ASM, Oxi Instruments and Telepathic Instruments among many others, with a rack of Eurorack modules supplied by Three Wave Music.<\/p>\n
Tickets are cheap enough to make a weekend of it: early-bird 2×1 passes are $5 each while they last, and minors get in free.<\/p>\n
Sonicstate will be at the show covering it, so watch out for videos from the floor. If you are there in person, come and say hi.<\/p>\n
