Barefoot Buttons

[Bishop5150]

Discovered a new company called Barefoot Buttons. They make big buttons to go over the little buttons of our favorite pedals. Just picked some up for my AX8's top row of buttons cause my big ass Frankenstein feet are always accidentally hitting the bottom row when trying to hit a top row button.
They come in a couple of variations and colors. They are machined aircraft grade aluminum. http://barefootbuttons.com

Yeah, and I'm pissed! I had this idea about a year ago after searching for a company that makes something similar and couldn't find anything. I then began using lug nuts and drilled a hole for a set screw. Worked great and was going to start making them out of aluminum to sell. Well, a few months ago when I was ready to start I did another search and found these guys beat me to it!

Just curious what is the Korg pedal for? Is it a MIDI footswitch?

What good are these? Do u have a problem stepping on the normal switches? Or do u really play barefoot? If I played barefoot, my toes would be mash fron people stepping in them at gigs.

Thanks brother...really helpful to see them "IN USE" on your rig.

Interesting. The buttons on my channel switching pedal have the loop button a bit too close and more than once during a gig have I hit it (turning off all sound since I have nothing in the loop) when trying to go between clean and dirty. I wrapped a rubber band tightly around the base of the loop switch to keep it from going down but will look in to this.

My problem is my big ass feet with shoes on trying to hit the upper row of buttons. I played a G-System for about 7 years so I'm used to it's big buttons. Very easy to use live. I have struggled with the small buttons of the AX8. Especially the top row. With these larger and taller buttons it's easier to hit them on the fly at a gig and not worry about accidentally hitting another one in the process. But at home I do play barefoot and those little buttons freaking hurt.

It's the Korg Pitchblack Plus tuner. It's just a great tuner and allows me to check my tuning while playing.
