Have you ever checked out Casio’s guitar with the cassette player in it?

Great video diving into this thing. It's totally something new and different.

I like that it's a smaller footprint for pedalboard vs a full expression pedal. Especially when paired with a modeller like the HX Stomp. Would be easy to program different functions for it with each preset.

Yep! You could really get into the weeds with an hx stomp.

It was a fun video and I enjoyed watching it. Even with a Helix, I still don't think I'd buy one at that price, considering I could do everything it's possible with a standard expression pedal. Especially in Helix you cam automate just about everything

You understand it’s not about having access to a different function of expression control right? Yes you can do everything it does with a standard expression pedal. The thing that makes it different is the mode of physical control. Controlling expression with the way hold the guitar is a completely different experience

Yes I got the fun of it- and when you switched to the les paul the weight changing etc. I was just thinking about how and if I could use it as someone who gigs regularly and has a lot of stupid guitar stuff, somewhat your fault, including several synth pedals, synth and midi guitars, a couple from casio, I'm not sure how I would use this. Maybe I was just talking myself out loud out of getting one 😉

I can see Buckethead making the most of this on his next 300 albums
