—–SHIPPING BACK—–

GETTING MATERIAL BACK – SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!

This is for companies shipping to Hank’s. Please bring a return label to the event or – if you aren’t sending a rep – send a Fedex return label to this email address by 06.10: return.labels – at -thedelimagazine.com, so that we can get the carriers to pick up the stuff and return it to you. Subject of the email should be: “[YOUR COMPANY] Return Label”.

If you want to also print a label, please don’t put it in the board bag’s pouch, but tape it directly on top or under the board itself, that way we can’t miss it.

Any other questions? Email paolo.dg – at – thedelimag.com or call him at 631.829.8841

—–WHAT WE NEED FROM ALL IN-PERSON VENDORS—–

Bring headphones for your setups
Bring enough Power Strips for your needs

—–WHAT WE NEED FROM PEDAL VENDORS—–

***NEW!!*** YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN AMP EMULATION DEVICE – make sure it has a headphones output.
STUDIO HEADPHONES: At least one per board (we’ll provide headphones only for unmanned boards)
PATCH + GUITAR CABLES: Please use your own audio cables to connect the pedals between themselves and also bring a SHORT guitar cable.
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.

—–SELLING GUIDELINES—–

At our shows, if you wish, you can sell direct. If you don’t want to, you can sell through the participating stores. If you don’t know what stores are participating, ask Paolo.

—–PLEASE DO NOT SEND/BRING—–

STUDIO MONITORS OR AMPS: Our events are strictly in the headphones – it helps with human interaction! You can only bring amp heads or combos if they are not wider than your board, but you’ll have to play them through the headphones.
(If you have a shared table) HANGING BANNERS – we don’t have space for them, we recommend printing a cardboard A3 tabletop display with your logo and all the info about your pedals, and builders with their own table (6′ minimum) can bring one roll-up banner per 6′ table.
Guitars: We have demo guitars by PRS for the few visitors who won’t bring their own, no need to bring any extra ones.

—–BANNER POLICY—–

Vendors with a shared table space or a “row”-style plan need to stick with tabletop signage or tablecloths with the logo in front.
Vendors with a 6′ or 8′ table can bring one popup banner per table not wider than 3 feet.
We can’t accept hanging banners under any circumstances

—— IMPORTANT: LUNCH ——

In all likelihood, at lunchtime it will be too busy for you to venture out looking for a place to eat. We recommend bringing a sandwich. There might be food at the venue, we’ll let you know if that’s the case.
