Too funny has to be. That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a while... also looks like a major trip hazard!

I'm at a loss for words.....and I'll leave it at that.
it would be funny if the player wanted to walk around on stage and tripped over the 2 leads plugged into his shoe. I'd say 99% its not real.
@ Doc I have never seen you lost for words before !

Or you could just use an actual wah wah pedal and still be able to move about on stage without having to unplug yourself.
I guess it falls into the realm of a cool idea, following the current Zeitgeist of wearable tech. Interesting concept if it could be done wirelessly via a Bluetooth controller or something similar. You run a similar idea for a drum machine through the other foot to provide back beat?

Too bad if you step in a puddle on your way to the gig!

not bad thinking there Franken, surely we have the technology for wireless or BT controller, but I agree a wah pedal works fine as it is.
Different story if you had a mini amp on your belt and when you walk it makes wah sounds, now that would be uber cool

What happens after a long set, when you've been playing your heart out and sweating under the stage lights? Would you need to use waterproof shoe liners to protect the electronics?
Most of the venues I watch live music in only have troughs in the men's room too.......icky tay.

Imagine walking in it just normally. Have you ever walked in gumboots, and one is full of water?
The added weight of the electronics would be disturbing to say the least!!
