Handmade MIDI Controll Pedal

MIDI Foot Pedal for the "MOTP" Playing Style

Introducing a MIDI foot pedal specifically designed to recreate the signature "MOTP" guitar sound.

This pedal was developed to provide precise control over the synchronization of intricate MIDI sequences and effects—a technique exemplified by Muse’s "Map of the Problematique" (the "MOTP" style). It enables complex signal switching that is both seamless and free from time lag.

■ Operability that supports the precise reproduction of musical compositions

By connecting via MIDI to a DigiTech Whammy, you can reliably automate even the most demanding octave-switching maneuvers.

■ Hardware designed with the player in mind

The unit features a robust chassis built to withstand the rigors of stage use, while maintaining a compact, portable form factor. Every detail—from visibility on the floor to the ease of operating the footswitches—has been carefully considered.

■ Recommended for guitarists who:

・Want hands-free control during live performances (e.g., in the style of MOTP).

・Need a more reliable and seamless way to switch effects in sync with a sequence.

・Wish to elevate their live performance to the next level.

This device provides powerful, foot-operated support for your creativity and performance.
