Re: Footswitch for Memory Man with Hazarai?



The concept of a mouthswitch also occurred to me, for musicians who
are too busy with their feet. It'd be similar to a footswitch, but
would run a wire to your mouth, and you'd bite to activate. This would
be for musicians whose hands and feet are already to busy.
