Regarding dsp and variax's - The variax is a good start, but the key point is the need for a 'generic dsp engine', not a custom implementation. I need to be able to usb the guitar to the computer and upload amps and effects onboard, using an intel processor most likely as the vast major of vst plugins run on that processor. Heat would be a problem so we need no more speed than absolutely required, gotta be battery powered, and MUST have TOTAL BYPASS switch in case of diaster. A small cpu, with…

Heat would be a problem so we need no more speed than absolutely required, gotta be battery powered, and MUST have TOTAL BYPASS switch in case of diaster. A small cpu, with 768k of ram, and enough digital to analog conversion to a) sound great, and b) have about 2v (max) of output. Open source, so everybody can write algorithms...And while I'm wishing Apple would build this (because they might get it right), I'll ask for little wireless nubs...A transmitter nub I plugin to my guitar (transmitter), and the corresponding nubbin I plug into my buddies stereo so that when I goto somebody's house to jam I can do so by sending my guitar right to their stereo. Little bitty things, nubbins that fit in your pocket and are totally easy to plugin to the stereo's aux-in rca jacks... I'll take steps in the right…tag:www.techhui.com,2010-05-06:1702911:Comment:610522010-05-06T09:38:28.810ZKurt Olsenhttp://www.techhui.com/profile/KurtOlsen
I'll take steps in the right direction. In particular the standardized pickup socket would be a massive cash-infusion to the pickup co's if they could simply understand that I'd have a drawer full of pickups if I could swap'em out when I change strings. While the 'insert thru the back' idea is great (and thanks for pointing that out), I think the more standard solution would be to swap pickups when you change strings before the gig. country band tonight? let's get out the single coils - AC/DC?…
