MEGADETH's DAVE MUSTAINE Creates Signature Edition Effects Pedal For ZOOM

December 29, 2010

Zoom has announced the addition of guitarist and lead vocalist Dave Mustaine of the iconic band MEGADETH to its family of artists. Mustaine has been a mainstay in the metal community for over 25 years, having formed MEGADETH in 1983. Internationally acclaimed as one of the greatest metal guitarists in the world, Mustaine is also an accomplished producer.

Mustaine and Zoom will introduce the all-new G2.1DM Dave Mustaine Signature Edition Guitar Effects Pedal at a press conference on Saturday, January 15, 2011 from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Zoom booth (#5940) at the NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

"This pedal is built for action," declares Mustaine. "With my personal sound effects and a large expression pedal modeled after the accelerator of one of my favorite cars onboard, the G2.1DM leaves all contenders at the starting line."

2010 was a huge year for Mustaine and MEGADETH. It marked the 20th anniversary of "Rust In Peace", considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time. MEGADETH also performed as part of the "Big Four" tour in Europe alongside METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX, as well as the "American Carnage" tour. And 2011 is expected to be even bigger.

"It's been a honor working closely with Dave on this new pedal," says Mark Menghi, Artist Relations Director. "Zoom has been fully committed to capturing his thrash metal guitar sound in the G2.1DM. We are excited to be unleashing it on guitar players everywhere."

Last year's NAMM drew 85,000 registrants from 100 countries and attracted 1,400-plus exhibitors.

The NAMM show is one of the largest music product trade shows in the world.

NAMM show is **NOT** open to the public. The only attendees are NAMM member companies and their invited guests.
