Very cool. I love the demo videos.  I'm wondering what the advantage is of 
using a normal pedal vs. an "air" pedal, when in both cases you have to 
move 
your foot in a similar fashion in a fixed area. I think just a MIDI 
expression pedal that used this technology would be beneficial. That way I 
can use it for what I want, not limited to wah, fuzz, nad trem.
