A guitar pedal ( or maybe keytar ? ) that you change moving the guitar on the strap. So there are two parts the pedal controller hooked to your target pedal effect, and the actuator on your guitar strap.
I think we often forget that humans can forget how to do stuff. I watched a great documentary years ago (wish I could find it again) about how we’ve lost a lot of the know-how for tube technology. Once we moved on from tubes, all the old paper documents from R&D, manufacturing, and quality control were destroyed along with the factories. I think it’s awesome if cool tech know-how can be preserved like this and handed down. We are probably in danger of losing a lot of tape know-how now.
I have my doubts. It looks wiggly except when she pulls the neck close to the guitar’s body. Handling a foot expression pedal while standing can be sometimes challenging depending on the pedal’s position but it definitely provides more control.
Thought about that, and am confident with the tension adjustment on the DT and getting the strap right, that there will be little to no problem. I’d rather be able to walk away from the pedal board and just play.
I did notice a difference when gripping near the body of the guitar or farther out on the neck, which to me has to do with the balance of the guitar. She was able to make that transition quickly.
It does not look like the game-changing replacement of the foot expression pedal but it might work for some musicians. Maybe someone will one day come up with a polyAT guitar neck
Now if Korg or B could get me an updated M1. I’ve got the pluggin, but I’d love to get those classic rave stabs on an updated, and easy to edit modern layout.
