I saw an ad in the latest guitar player magazine for a device called
the "Datacaster". This consists of a pot which replaces one of the
original pots on your guitar. This pot is really a rotary switch.
It allows you to select upto a dozen of your favorite efx via midi
control. I'm not sure what else the system includes, or how the
midi signal is brought out of the guitar, but the system price is
around $279.00
It seems like a pretty good way of controlling efx/preamps without
having a bunch of pedals on the floor. They claim the device is
"wireless ready" whatever that means. Maybe this is the start of
a new industry buzz-word, sort of like cable-ready tv's.
Anyone else catch this ad ?? Comments ??

"Wireless ready" refers to the new wireless MIDI systems that re being
marketed.
