Hello friends!
I hope you are all well and that you are ready for our first post-campaign update! We've been working these days on final adjustments to the PCB design and were able to achieve some important enhancements.
Now the output levels of the clean and overdriven sound are more balanced and the clean signal is also cleaner and brighter. That is: the sound will be actually a little bit better than what you heard -and liked- in the Kickstarter videos. We are happy we managed to achieve this; it's a detail but it does make a difference and we think you are going to like the result. Now we'll be producing a new set of sample PCBs and if everything is good to go with it, we'll green light production of the first batch!
Photo from last week, playing one prototype with the old PCB and another one with the new one, to test and decide on the final design.
App
We have the iOS version almost ready! We expect it to be up in store App Store before the end of November, so stay tuned to that announcement. We have also started working on the Android version, and we expect that to be ready in April 2020, by the time we deliver the guitars. We are very happy with the app and the feedback we are getting from testers. Really looking forward to releasing it and see what you all think.
Surveys / Changing Rewards / Add-ons
Since the guitars will be shipping in April, we are not in a rush to send the surveys too soon. With that said, we expect to have our BackerKit project page ready next week and there you will be able to enter your guitar model and color of choice, as well as your shipping details. Through BackerKit you will also be able to add accessories (straps, carrying bags, stands, etc.) at a backers-only discount, and you'll be also able to upgrade to a different guitar if you want to. (Those of you who pledged for a Mini and now want a Pro or a Pro VI: you'll be able to do that.) We'll also have our current lineup of acoustic guitars there, so it will be a proper Loog online store. Again, we expect to set it live next week, so stay tuned for that email.
That's it for now, folks. I'm here if you have any questions.
Cheers!

We did it, folks! Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a ride! Our campaign ended up being the most funded -and most backed- guitar project ever on Kickstarter. Thanks so much for making that happen!
We are looking forward to moving into production mode and sharing the process with you. It's going to be fun :)
For those of you who are new at backing things on Kickstarter, this is what happens now: in about three weeks we’ll be sending a survey for you to choose the color of your Loog guitar, confirm if you pledged for several units, and add accessories, if you want to. We'll have straps, carrying cases, stands and even our other guitars at a backers-only discount. (We'll use a platform called BackerKit for all this. Some of you may be familiar with it, if you backed other Kickstarter projects that used it.)
It's a bit late here so I'll keep it at that for now. Thanks again so much for backing this project. I'm stoked that you are all on board and I think you'll be really happy with this new generation of Loog guitars.
Cheers! ❤️

Last night our campaign passed the mark of 1,000 backers. That’s one thousand of us rooting for the same cause and making it possible for these guitars to exist. ❤️
To celebrate: Android app unlocked! 😃
Thanks a million! (As in one thousand thanks to each one of you)

I am so grateful, honored and happy that, thanks to you, the new Loog electric guitars and app will exist! We did it together! Again! Thank you so much for making it happen! ❤️
Now what? For those of you unfamiliar with how Kickstarter works, please note that the campaign will continue till October 4, as originally planned. So, till then, we’ll try to get us many pre-orders as possible. As they say, the more the merrier, plus it will allow us to be more efficient in our manufacturing processes and even add some special requests that we see are popular and were not planned originally. (Android fans: stay tuned for a special announcement next week.)
With that in mind, please help us spread the word by sharing this campaign with anyone you know who might be interested in these guitars!
That’s it for now, folks! Again, thank you so much for your support. We don’t take it for granted and it really means the world to us!
