—–WHAT WE NEED FROM PEDAL VENDORS—–
- PEDALBOARD WITH PEDALS: Attach your pedals on the board(s) and ship everything in the case to the address on top of this email.
- YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN AMP EMULATION DEVICE – make sure it has a headphone output.
- STUDIO HEADPHONES: At least one per board (we’ll provide headphones only for unmanned boards)
- AUDIO CABLES: Please use your own audio cables to connect the pedals.
- POWER: Please connect all pedals to power adapters so that they are ready to be plugged in.
- PEDALS WITH SPECIAL POWER REQUIREMENTS: If you are sending one or more pedals that require their own PSU, please include the PSU in the shipment and place a sticker on the pedal saying “psu included in box.” Place also a sticker on a PSU with your company’s name on it.
- OPTIONAL INFO SHEET: Send the pdf or jpg file of the 11″x 7″ horizontal (or letter size vertical if you have a mini-board) for the info sheet (optional but recommended) to Paolo, see here for templates. – Send file to thedelirag – AT – gmail.com – DEADLINE: 08.20.
—–SELLING GUIDELINES—–
At this show, if your company’s products are not sold through Steve’s Music, you can sell them directly or ask them to sell on consignment.
—–BANNER POLICY—–
We can only allow standing banners for companies that have at least a 6′ table. Companies with a shared table can have a tablecloth with logo in the front that’s not wider than their table size. Tabletop signage is always the most effective.
—–PLEASE DO NOT SEND/BRING—–
- HANGING BANNERS – we don’t have space for them. We MIGHT be able to fit standing banners for companies that bought at least a full table. Companies with a shared table plan should use 11″x 17″ info sheet with logo and all the info about your products.
- STUDIO MONITORS OR AMPS: Our events are strictly in the headphones – it helps with human interaction! You can only bring amp heads if they are not wider than your board, but you’ll have to play them through the headphones.

—— AFTER THE SHOW ——
GETTING MATERIAL BACK – SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!
Please send a return label and send it via email to: return.labels-at-delicious-audio.com.
If you want to also print a label, please don’t put it in the board bag’s pouch, but directly on top or under the board itself, that way we can’t miss it.
