  • Ghost Pedal

    This is a cool idea IMO. I bet Kirk Hammet would invest if he knew about it. He could walk around with headphones and a ghost wah and control the wah for the whole universe....

              Meh...cool I guess....but really, I don't know too many players that are THAT connected to the peddle board. Like so much that they can't move? If they are, maybe they are using to many affects ....Whatever....

                Kirk already has the Cry Baby rack wah system, so he can walk around and use it at 6 different spots on stage anyway. http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/dcr...by-rack-module
