A touchscreen? What a stupid idea. How is that gonna hold up on the road? Keep this crap on stuff rich old people buy for their living rooms. I need something that can have beer spilled on it.

[kennethwcairns]

that touchscreen is more than likely gunna get a big heel put through it

[LandMark62]

Awesome, innovative and "about time" product for those who need a versatile way to help organize a larger FX rig.

[mdragoonx]

Well then, this board is not for you guys who jump and piss on your floorboards. I treat my guitars like crap, but not my electronics, and I don't put beer or anything anywhere near them. Besides, that is a prototype, by the time it actually goes to market the screen might be better situated, guarded, or even hideable.

HEY PEOPELE WHERE ARE U PLAYIN' IN A MADHOUSE MAYBE??

[mmaier2112]

Wow. A whole lot of negativity for an innovative product.

Yeah, I'm real sure they're not going to think of any of the usual gig issues when designing gear.

Go jump in a lake. Preferably piranha-filled.

[EricAntonik]

@yaegerrocks Bravo! You've hit it right on the head(stock). This is ridiculous. This company obviously doesn't gig very much. Beer, spit, sweat, water, drunken fans, this thing would get destroyed. Even in the most controlled shows, normal wear and stomping would destroy this thing. The ones that would enjoy this is delusional-youtube-posting bedroom rockstars with a trust fund or with rich parents.

[yaegerrocks]

@VarashTR That's all well in good in the van (to an extent) but not on stage when people are stepping all over you shit so they can stage dive, and there's sweat and liquor and various other fluids flying around.

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

@heavymetal1110 i dont think youd be fiddling with a touch screen during playing its designed to have everything set up already to go and you just hit the switch and you get that preset pretty much whats been going on for awhile with midi switchers except it just has a touch screen and you can change the colors and data labels

[PetrucciLifeson12]

This is extremely cool. It looks like the programming will be easier and the little screen things for each button look like they'll be easy to see on stage.

@yaegerrocks Hardcase?
