    Hey there great people of all-mighty EHX !

    Here is a bit of a challenge for you !

    What about a “Kaos Pad” that we can use DIRECTLY IN our pedal chain ???

    One that does NOT require “extra/special” cables, just a good old 1/4 jack “IN” & “OUT” !

    So that it could read something like this :

    Guitar ->Whammy4 ->Fuzz ->Over Drive ->Trem ->EHX “KAOS PAD” ->DMM ->AMP

    Can i expect these on the shelves in time for my 2009 X-Mass shopping ?
    You guys can even run a world wide comp. for the best name for such a wonderfull device !
    Something like, the “CRAZY WINDOW”, or “PSYCHO BOX”

    Disclaimer : …when i say ‘Kaos Pad’, i mean an EHX unit very simmilar to the Korg Kaos Pad, just MUCH MUCH better and wayyy more powerfull in its functions, but for the same price !

    Thanx Guys
    ;)

    That sounds like a really cool idea, but wouldn’t it be kind of hard to control a touch screen with your foot? And you might even break the screen.

    Not if you place the EHX Kaoss Pad on a “riser” like the one you get for a Line6 pod !
    You can then adjust the hight, so that it is very close to your strumming hand !

    Oh, now I see what you’re saying. I just don’t see EHX making something as high tech as that though. Who knows, it could hapen. Is the Korg even compatible with guitar?

    I don’t see EHX being able to do this…something about a likely lawsuit I would think.

    You might be better off suggesting this to Korg.

    Korg aren’t the only ones to use a touch screen interface as a control device
    Moog Voyagers have touch screens that you can use to control in the same way as a Kaoss Pad

    Hey McHaven . . .

    . . . why a lawsuit ?

    Many Co’s have used the same idea to make smething simmilar, and even better sometimes !
    Did Henry Ford sue every other American car Co. in the 1920’s ?
    Did Gibson sue Leo Fender when he took a piece of wood and added strings and pick ups ?
    Did osram using light buld Co A, sue light bulb Co. B for inventing the “Energy Saving Bulb” ? Same thing – it makes light, but in a better, more cost effective way !

    EHX too can make something simmilar – just better !

    I’m just thinking outloud. Don’t ever take my word as something to actually be trusted lol. I just kind of say things.

    Or maybe something a bit simpler that can be controlled with one’s foot a la z.vex probe pedals.

    I said it in another thread: the EHX mod wheel.

    trem, resonant filter, vibrato- square/sine LFO. Dual axis expression pedal- one axis controls depth, one controls speed.

    Julian – It was genius then and it’s genius now. Actually, I just picked up the Korg DS synthesizer and it’s making me yearn for a kaoss pad of my own. I hate using my hands for anything besides playing or adjusting volume knobs, but a dual axis expression pedal would be the tops.

    what about a ball like on those old arcade machines? ….you know, like an upside down mouse?

    that would be easy to move with your foot.
