could be fun, if it isn't proprietary to only their pedals and can work with various cv or exp outs.?.

I sense a new wave of guitar-based dubstep annoyance :erm:

Yep, if it only works with their pedals I am not impressed, but if it's a general purpose CV generator that would be sweet. Still looks silly though, I probably wouldn't bother.

Good in theory but wouldn't you knock it all the time when playing?

I can't really think of an easily accessible place to put it where you could hit it while playing. Where it is now he seems to have to have his hand in a pretty uncomfortable position.

If that's what we're going for I want one the length of the neck. Different sounds on every fret! :idea:

Nah...
EMBED it IN the neck.
But then the issue is enabling or disabling. Maybe via another switch?

I think it sounds interesting as long as its not proprietary to only their hardware.
