I’m a gadget guy. I like doodads and widgets. Some gadgets are useful, some are pretty useless, and some are absolute necessities. Here are some great gadgets for the working musician.
Muscians gear multi tool with built in LED light. Everyone has seen or owns multi tools but now the benefit of LED technology has allowed for small yet powerful flashlights to be added to the tool.
American Recorder Technologies makes a multi tool/flashlight combo if you prefer to have your light source separate from you tools.
Farley’s journeyman pocket tool is a multi tool specifically for guitarists. It has Hex wrenches, a string cutter and a acoustic bridge pin puller.
Planet waves pro winder is a string winder with a built in cutter. A pretty handy tool to have in any gig bag to facilitate quick string changes.
How about adding another function. The Pro Winder with tuner is just that. A string winder/cutter with a built in tuner.
Planet Waves cable cutter/tester is a great tool to have for anyone who goes the DIY route with their pedalboard cabling.
The mighty bright roadie light is actually two small LED lights. One keychain light and one carabeaner light. These can be attached to your gig bag, your belt loop, or wherever.
Planet waves pick holder keychain LED light will assure you that you can always see in the dark and you always have picks.
Farley’s Pocket Tones is an electronic pitch generator that allows you to tune your instrument or your voice anywhere.
The S.O.S tuner is a small tuner that emits two out of phase LED beams on your strings. The light appears still when the string is in tune.
Dunlop’s neck cradle safely holds your guitars neck while you work on it.
The Quarter Note magnetic pencil holder keeps your pencil stuck to your mic stand, music stand, or any metal surface. Great for those song writing sessions or to have handy for mailing list sign ups at gigs.
The Pick List is a set list/Pick holder that mounts to your acoustic guitar. A great tool for the acoustic musician.
The Stage Player guitar stool/stand is a portable stool which doubles as a guitar stand. Great for resting your feet and keeping your guitar safe during breaks.
The Otray mic stand tray holds your drink as well as other items such as your slide, smokes,picks,etc..
The Wedgie is a small pick holder that clips to your mic stand. You can never have too many spare picks.
Dunlop’s mic stand pick holder takes it to the next level with a small hook for you slide.
Dunlop’s pick holder holds a few picks and sticks to almost anything. I personally have these stuck to each of my amps.
Dunlop’s bridge pin puller bottle opener will help you restring your acoustic guitar quickly as well as get you beer open in a hurry.
The final gadget for musicians is multi functional and really a necessity in your gig bag.
Gaffer tape is invaluable at a gig. You secure your set list, tape down cables, fix a broken guitar strap, and maybe even tape the drummer’s mouth shut so he doesn’t blow it with the cub owner.
Now go out and stock your gig bag with some of these useful,quirky musician gadgets.
