I grew up with Digitech Multi-Fx Stomp units and when I got into 'song writing' I would always have to carefully plan my presets. It always bothered me that presets could only go up and down....it was too linear. Goodness forbid you messed up your order for a song or if you added an extra part to your song that required a different tone. You couldn't just copy and paste a preset using consumer hardware from 2003 (actually, you could but it was just as arduous as memorizing setting and just inputting the 'data' again. One time I actually more or less 'copy and pasted' 12 presets in a row, just to add a D part to a track). What I would want from a DDR kind of controller would be a way to have non-linear preset (or fx loops and fx loop routing really) at the command of foot buttons and a combination of foot buttons. So for every 'UP' you would have 'UP', 'UP AND DOWN', 'UP AND RIGHT' etc. I think it would be good to have it more open ended too so if each foot button was also 'weight controlled' and the area you stepped on effected some 'effects' in your 'fx loop' as opposed to others, that would be cool (think of it like if a Korg Kaossilator was on each foot pad. I hope this makes sense. I know what some of you thinking Q1. Can't Midi do all of that? A1. I assume but, I'm guessing a lot of midi for guitar interfaces don't have that level of interactivity? I don't know. Further more, I think what sets it apart would be the 'AND' commands (footing). I also like the idea that of two sensors on each foot that way Fx can be indicative of if it is the right or left foot that has the starting command. I also want this to be all analog and true bypass

TL;DR $hark is a Soy Boy. Foot controlled preset/fx loop sequence / matrix mixer / other with expression
