Before anyone asks, I'm still doing the profiling thing and will be adding new profiles soon. Here's what I've been up to last few months though:
I bought a CNC Machine. Been learning how to run it, made a ton of sawdust, built a bunch of stuff. What's wood got to do with Kempers?
Well, I've built and will be building pedals that either plug into the Remote or directly into the kemper. Ok, big deal... but these are made of exotic woods... and have the same profile and switch spacing as the remote. So you can put one on the end of your remote and it's like the remote is just longer. Hope that makes sense... I used a few footswitches before that weren't sized the same, and they worked ok, but it was weird with the drop off. This is a lot better. And hey, exotic woods and handmade? What's really awesome with the remote is you can set something like the 'X' slot on/off on the footswitch, and it's always there to be changed. You don't have to program each patch/performance like on the remote. Or use one of these to change patches up and down with two switches, and then one for boost and one for tap tempo. There's a lot you can do with any footswitch like this and the Kemper.
They aren't cheap. A CNC isn't something you just throw a piece of wood at and finished stuff flies out the back. There's a lot of finessing parts for proper fitment and sanding and oiling and gluing and etc. Hardest part was making it sturdy enough for use but still keep the awesome wood vibe. Since wood patterns are always different, each pedal will be unique and different. I like the thought of something all natural like wood and hand crafted alongside super tech like the Kemper.
Also building guitar parts out of rare woods too. Just a few PRS parts and humbuckers for now, but it's going to ramp up also.

Don't mean to spam the board, just thought some folks might find this cool.
