Jennifer Batten is often found at a NAMM booth checking out the gear or providing her feedback on products she has played over the years. Washburn Guitars released a signature model that she took part in designing, which she has proudly played on recordings and on tour. While working with Jeff Beck, she began working with wireless MIDI systems, which led to a series of products and endorsements. Her relationship with Line 6 resulted in the launching of the Variax series and the Batten String Damper, both cutting edge products first introduced at the NAMM Show.
