Dead product. Was kinda interested when I first saw it, but when "super low latency" is all you get to know without any actual numbers, I'm out. So seem to be pretty much all other folks.

LEDs not bright enough.

Very likely.
Fwiw, as a friendly reminder: your cheap jokes already start to wear off. But I'm sure you'll find an audience nonetheless. That Star Wars character will applaud you for sure.

I wouldn’t take it so personally/ seriously. This place has always been all about the callbacks.

I don't. Otherwise I'd left quite a while ago already. I just find cheap jokes boring after a while.

NAMM 2026.... What do you want to know about our product? Feel free to ask.

Hey!

Some crunching numbers. For starters: What's the latency like?

Less that 5ms so far with all driver optimizations (and that is RTL). For a Windows machine that is excellent. No complains from almost 300 guitarists that they've use the device (including adding wireless dongles). Also, no extra latency is added through Gig Performer on most VST software so that makes for a very robust platform. NAMM 2026 MIDI Guitar 3 Screen Sharing? No problem

Not a question about your product (which looks awesome, BTW), but in case you happened to notice while you were at the show...

What the hell is the deal with this headstock (bottom left in your photo above):

Well, it's ok for a dedicated machine. I can get down to 3.5ms with a Motu M2 at 44.1kHz, so really nothing too special, But at least it's decent.

Whatever: Will this machine run any VST plugins? IOW, is it running a more or less vanilla Windows causing no issues with plugin authorisations?

Cream Guitars. Collaboration during the NAMM show. We had some of their guitars at our booth during the show. One of the coolest guitars we've seen!

We've painstakingly debloated the system but at the same time made sure that the majority of VST plugins (even old 32bit jbridge VSTs) and plugin authorizations work just fine, although it is recommended to avoid ilok or any other cloud authorizations. You don't want to end up activating plugins 5 minutes before the show.

Tbh, iLok plugins never ask for authorisation others than during installation. I'm using machine based authorisations only, though.
