Cools stuff. Just as a comment:
R-Pi $35
audio port $?
controller $?
Thanks Len,
I've also got a Behringer UCG102, which is about $30. You can also get
clones of this device which are half the price. Got one but it arrived
in a non-working state (that's the risk of ordering directly in China).
I bought the floorboard second hand for about $50, I know that's too
much but on the other hand, Boss FC-50's are almost vintage ;) I think
mine is over 20 years old.
Though making an enclosure and buying the switches (that can handle being
stomped) would probably cost as much as a premade controller anyway. Are
you going to add any other controls? (pots or other programing kinds of
things) or just use presets?
I bought some cheap switches and I've got some broken things lying
around and my ultimate goal would be to make a simple USB-MIDI
footswitch with some extra knobs to adjust parameters. But that will be
a long term project (two kids, solderingironophobia).
I am guessing that for stage use presets
would work better, though a volume control with a foot board could do Wah
(or other variable effects) as well as just volume.
True, I've never used wah or volume pedals myself so I'm not that much
interested in such effects.
Is that a Dan Armstrong? Or does someone else make clear (and very heavy)
body guitars?
Answered this in another mail. In addition, there are some manufacturers
that use PMMA/acrylic/lucite/perspex bodies. The most well-known at the
moment is ECG (Electrical Guitar Company). They have two lucite
signature models with aluminum necks (how awesome is that), the Brent
Hinds (Mastodon) Custom and one of the coolest contemporary guitars, the
King Buzzo (Melvins) Standard:
