[KENNY PREECE AND BILL STEVENS PERFORMING]

BILL STEVENS: Hi everybody. We're at NAMM 2006, summer session, down here at Austin...,

KENNY PREECE: Tex.

BILL STEVENS: ...Texas.

KENNY PREECE: That's it.

BILL STEVENS: Yeah. Austin, Texas, which is a lot warmer and nicer than Wisconsin, which is where I'm from. This is Kenny. Hey, Kenny.

KENNY PREECE: Kenny. I'm the president of iCoustic here, and we're going to talk a little bit about the iCoustic and the PorchBoard as well. The iCoustic is a self-contained amplified acoustic guitar. We have multiple inputs and outputs. You can connect the guitar to your amplifier using the output here, volume, and tone control. You can plug an extra guitar into this guitar, so you can connect a bass guitar into this guitar and both guitars will be heard through the speaker that's mounted in the sound hole. You can also connect your iPod to the guitar using the mini-input here as well. You simply Velcro it on to the guitar and connect it using the small cable here. This is a PXR4 multitrack digital recording studio which I have hooked up to the guitar. I simply connect the little cable to the input, connect the output, and I have a digital recording studio hooked up to my guitar.

BILL STEVENS: That is really cool. [LAUGHING] And we also got the PorchBoard Bass, which is down there. Anyway, the PorchBoard is an analog instrument with an analog waveform, and you just -- It's easy to play. All you got to do is tap your foot on it, and you get a low frequency thump out of it like a really good low bass drum, and it's a lot of fun. My mom used to yell at me for sitting around, banging on the porch and playing my guitar, but now I do it full time. So, that's kind of neat. Anyway, we're having a great time at NAMM. We're having super fun playing together. Hold this thing, we'll do one.

KENNY PREECE: All right.

BILL STEVENS: But now you can't play there.

KENNY PREECE: That's all right. You play.

NADENE ISACKSON: I'll hold it.

KENNY PREECE: There you go.

BILL STEVENS: We got Nadene there, so.
