cedar Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Perhaps this is just news to me, but I got a chuckle. I am posting mostly in the hope that you clever people will make some funny comments. http://www.guitarplayer.com/effects/1018/new-converse-all-wah-sneaker-has-a-built-in-wah-pedal/58573 [video:youtube] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldwin Funster Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'd like to see what happens when sweat works down to the circuit board with a ungrounded tube amp. Remember the guy who got electcuted playing a wah barefoot? FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedar Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hard to believe, I know, but seems true. Here is the page from the developer ("Cute Circuit"), which makes various wearable gadgets. https://cutecircuit.com/all-wah/ And another promotional video.

Josh Paxton Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I think the new promo vid could have been significantly improved with the inclusion of something like, oh, I dunno... maybe a single instance of an audibly discernible wah effect?? "Here's me tuning. Here's my clean tone. Here's my dirty tone. Here's me explaining what wah is. Here are some shots of my foot moving up and down with no detectable change in sound.

Baldwin Funster Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Remember the guy who got electcuted playing a wah barefoot? Was he playing AC/DC? No, Electric Funeral. Not really. If somebody died while playing a Black Sabbath song we'd all know about it. Like Ozzy beheading a bat. Or was it a pidgeon. I remember somebody famous getting zapped onstage by his wah pedal.

Josh Paxton Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I really, really look forward to hearing guitarists say things like, I tried a canary yellow pair, but I find the burgundy gives a much warmer, richer sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindaru Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Is this the new way to make "soul" music? I would hate to be on stage gigging when you suddenly get one of those annoying charley horses in your foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthoid Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 didn't Frampton sing "I want you to shoo me away".

harmonizer Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's a clever idea, but I can't imagine wanting my sneaker to be tethered to a constrained space on stage, while my foot is in that sneaker. A traditional foot pedal is a much better idea. Unless of course, you are playing electric guitar in a parade band, with your battery-powered amp strapped to your back. For *that*, this would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
