Voodoo Chucks?

That's actually pretty fucking bad ass IMO. I mean, the innovation alone is amazing and the way they adapted it. I don't like Chucks, but I'd buy this in a second just for fun.

I'm dying over the wired version in the prototype vid.

This is so cool!! And I need a new pair

@kirkhammett

If it's wirelessly controlling a separate thing, I'd rather it be a wireless expression pedal than restricted to a wah. That said, if they aren't too outrageously priced, I'll probably get them even though I never wah.

But please, some guy did this 5 years ago with more style.

I'm imagining some classic rock lead dude trying to swagger around stage all plugged in. So good.

I want to go to a Dino Jr. concert now just for a chance to see J. screw around with a shoe.

Didn't Teenage Engineering make something like this for the OP-1?

I mean, flex sensors are already a thing, it's just stocking one in a shoe that then controls a digital effect. Building one shouldn't be too hard. The trick is to make it comfy to play in and housing the wireless system.

Someone should put a bunch of flex sensors on jwar So that his poses ramp up your effects as you play his theme song

I'm down!

Isn't there a Tshirt or something that does this. Maybe I saw it on shark tank

A jwar edition flex tshirt midi controller? I'm down as fuck.

Been getting tagged in this damn thing all morning. At first I thought it was silly, but now im starting to warm up to it. My only worries are 1) how sturdy is the shoe? I tend to eat through shoes like my feet are chainsaws, I wanna know how durable the built in electronics are and how much wear and tear they can withstand. which brings me to point 2), I run around and get pretty crazy at shows. Would it be too easy to trigger the wah effect by accident? I want to be able to activate the effect with relitive ease, like a normal wah pedal. But I dont want to accidentally turn the thing on when I dont want to, on or off stage.

Beyond that, I'll probably get it if the price is right. Im expecting them to be lie, $120 maybe. Thoughts?
