I came across these and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them
http://barefootbuttons.com
Seemed like they would be good for anyone that triggers pedals with their hands, or even those that use their feet to get a larger target to hit. |

They are cool, come in different colors, even Green for my Earth Drive pedal. But 3 for $26, you'd be cryin' after ya loose 5 or 6 of'em. Seems as talented as our group is here on the forum someone could make these. They invented the "Knob Guard", "Stick On & The Big Tuning Wrench" different kinda slides. Keep the cost around 4 or 5 bucks then sure I'd buy a handful.  |

Was this product misnamed?
Shouldn't this have been 'Barefoot Buffoons'?
Maybe just a spelling error.
Just curious...

Those are pretty cool, Robert! I plan to at some point do some hand bashing of my pedalboard, as soon as I can spend more time playing in general.
I agree wholeheartedly with George, though; the thought of $8 (at best) per knob hurts more than a little.

I guess if you drink a lot and can't hit the button they would be good!

A couple of "duh" type comments.
These are not the entire switch. They are a "button" that attaches to the button on your existing switch.
Don't just click on the ">" to the side. Scroll down the page to see a lot more info.
On the first page, click on the picture. It will take you to another page with prices, etc.
There are two styles/types of buttons, depending upon what type of switch you want to put it on. |

| Doesn't appear old enough in the photo to be the 'Beach Boy' Mike Love, a son or relative perhaps? |

I just made one on my lathe. I like the idea. Where it would really be helpful would be on a standard guitar, such as Dale Watson's old Tomkins Tele that had a Phase 90 or Phase 45 built into the body and the "foot switch" mounted on the control plate.
