![]() ![]() Didn't have any specifics on how long a battery's lifespan would be with this switch but that he and other testers had all spent considerable time playing and testing the switch using the same battery and that it still had plenty of life left to it afterwards. He said the control cavity of the guitar he had it installed in was shielded, and there was no issue with connecting to the Bluetooth and that the app worked pretty well and was easy to use/figure out. Duncan have been working on this for a couple of years now at least, so I don't know what constitutes being "rushed" by your terms but I don't think this is something that was just hurriedly thrown out there judging by what I was told. I don't have all the answers to your questions here but I know a few things from talking to him about it: I've been curious about this ever since I found out about it too but had some questions about it myself. My buddy Willie was one of the guys that helped beta test this product. What's the expected battery life, and more importantly, what happens if the battery dies half-way through a set? Does it stop passing sound? Does it stay in the last position used? How well is it going to be able to connect over Bluetooth if your control cavity is shielded?Ħ. That might wind up being pretty cool but it ignores one of the main options I'm interested in.ĥ. You can only get 2 variations of parallel where the coils are out of phase from one another. This means you can't get a true parallel sound from a humbucker. It requires the series link wires to be set together. Moving the switch all the way back and forth a few times in a row activates the Bluetooth antenna so it's possible to inadvertently activate it causing extra battery drain.Ĥ. In software delivery you can have it fast, cheap, or reliable. I'm a 20+ year software dev and there are a lot of commonly used mobile frameworks with hidden 3rd party spyware in them. Security, the lack of any real marketing around it makes it feel rushed and I would be very wary of the security of the app. Both Android and IOS backup your app setting so there is literally no need for it.Ģ. There is plenty of storage on modern smart phones for the few kb of data required to store the presets. They could potentially make as much or more money from tracking you and selling the personal info they steal from your phone to data brokers than they would from selling the hardware. I'll bet dollars to donuts you have to have location services enabled to connect, too. From their instructions, the first thing you have to do is set up an account. I haven't even tried it and I'm willing to change my mind if I can be persuaded with objective data.ġ. Feels like this might SD's version of the Gibson robot tuners DISCLAIMER: These are just personal opinions based on past personal experience. ![]() However, I can already see a few things to give me pause. ![]() I'm constantly changing the wiring to try new things. This is exactly what people like me need. ![]()
