Hi Phil (and everyone, and anyone who can help me by answering this!),
Absolutely great stuff! I'm looking to do one of these mods for a friend of mine (who, no doubt, idolizes Matt Bellamy!), but I need a few things cleared up before we seriously get to work on it. I guess what I'm wondering is, it seems that most of the guitars I've seen on youtube with this mod have just the screen (and maybe the Hold button) on the face of the guitar's body, but then everything is connected to the kp2 (or whatever they use) that's lying on the ground, or effects/pedal board. Well, is there a way to do this mod that keeps everything in the guitar's body, so that nothing is outside the guitar? Like, integrate each part of the kp2 into the guitar, so that the effect can be changed without having to reach over to the kp2's "skeleton" (if you will). I realize that there are a lot of controls on the kp2 to realistically represent on the guitar's body, but I'm just wondering, because I see this device as being most efficient and convenient with everything in the guitar, and I wouldn't want to have to reach over to change anything. If there are simply too many buttons and whatnot on the kp2, then, would a mini kp be better? Its size may make it easier to fully integrate into the body, and though there are some features missing (including LED lights), it may have everything we need.
Sorry for such a lengthy post, but I'm hoping clearness will help with a reply haha.
Oh! And, did you find that a specific pickup (humbucker, preferably) works well with the kaoss pad?
Thanks (to anyone) in advance for the help!
