Greetings from Nerdsville: As some of you asked, here is a walk through and tone demo with the Skating Dogs TILMAN guitar.

Thanks for all the name/ label suggestions ... all this reminded me of my encounter with a skateboarding dog in Huntington Beach CA in the early 2000s. I thought: "If dogs can skate, you can do anything!" So my side brand/company was and now my record label is called Skating Dogs/Skating Dog Production. We did some things just differently :-), significantly differently ... anyways ... here is the brand and the product name.

The video with Tilman the Skateboarding Dog is here:

The next Kemper Tones & Talks Episode is up!

Cool, I just checked out PEEL Stems by zplane.development
For a Kemper Amps video with Tim Steiner of Cosmic Latte we needed to turn down the guitar a bit in a stereo backing track because the bass should've been featured a bit more.
Peel Stems does this in real time, no bouncing is required. Just play the track and adjust/ season to taste in real time.

Some impressions from ELBJAZZ yesterday:
1. The best acts are as usual to be found off the beaten track - Cosmic Latte at Haspa - Hamburger Sparkasse Jazz Truck.
2. Haspa - Hamburger Sparkasse is too cheap for an effing light! 🖖🏼😀
3. It was cold as eff!
4. Faithless sounded amazing!!
5. With great company any event is better! 🙏🏼🖖🏼

I love tinkering around on guitars. This time it's a very satisfying project. Added a push/ push pot to the old Danelectro Guitars. It makes switching to a defined "clean" position from anywhere possible. Works like a breeze!

This 2019 Macbook Pro gets annoyingly loud when it has to get to work. But it gets the work done, easily. To deal with that fan noise i just got that old SM 58 mic out … problem solved. Apple lost a couple of K for the time being. 🖖🏼
