Kingsley Merlin - Midi controller.

[DaveKS]

Just saw this on Kingsley sight, seems awesome just wondering why it's not getting any mention around here.

See that Simon posted about in builder/retailers forums, but looks like he's only one who's even posted to the thread. No other mention on TGP that I could find.

Am I the only one that thinks this looks a great invention?

cool idea! I imagine the process of mounting/modding guitars will scare some off.

I got the demo video in my YT feed, since I subscribe to Simon's channel, and at first wondered if it were some sort of multi-effect pedal, when I heard modulation kick in! It's a clever and practical approach - but if you grab n go with multiple or random guitars for gigs, you'd have be thoughtful about the switch mods and cost. Replacing a tone control with the multi-position rotary (which implies a rewire of the remaining as a master tone, depending on the guitar) would be my preference.
