Does such a thing exist?
I play acoustic guitar live in a duo and do a fair bit of lead / picked / complex chords etc... as well as singing doo wops and occasionally lead and also use a number of different effects patches...
ie. I'm REAL BUSY UP THERE...
I use a Digitech RP14D effect device with numerous patches and banks. These have 5 patches available each bank by stepping on pedals 1 - 5.
What with lights shining in my face and adoring females hurling themselves at the stage (OK.. perhaps that's not really happening that much) I have an occasional problem of stepping on the wrong pedal... ie. 4 instead of 5, which, depending upon which patch I mis-engage, can be not a good look at all, as my delicate chorusy/delay interlude turns into a fuzzed up (yes, I have a distortion patch for my acoustic..) mess.
So I figure a device where there is just one thing to step on, which cycles through a bank of patches each time I step on it, according to whatever order I program them in, would be perfect - I figure I can hit one pedal pretty consistently...
Does such a beast exist?
It would need to be be able to go, for instance:
Plain
Chorus
Plain
Distortion
Chorus
Plain
in the course of a single song. And have the full range of effects, not just the "acoustic" ones...
Any clues?
Cheers
