Half an hour ago I received my green walking stick! I think I'll just leave it like it is actually. It sits very well on the LP as it is. Looks great too! I'll post some pics later.

I know! Actually, I could have moved it further away from the edge and it would still have fit. Sure is a beautiful controller, though. Serial number 67, ya know.

Matrixsynth has a bunch of pictures of Voltor boxes by Squarewave Parade.

I just Googled them, and the expression controllers, which sold for $35, are sold out.

But they've got a lot of other interesting stuff!

I love it! It adds so much more playability to my rig! I can't wait to get a video made to go on YouTube and Vimeo!

It does kinda make me look like an idiot, sometimes, when I get carried away and try to do a Keith Emerson style solo.

I'd like to see that.

I don't think I want to see that lololol. At least not the phallic ribbon controller part of the act anyway lololol.

But that's the fun part! Guitarists get away with it...

I was up close in a huge crowd one time at Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis a few years ago and Chicago was playing. (I was only that close because James Brown was next.) The guy on the trombone was wearing a black and white plaid shirt with the sleeves cut off and he was thrusting his hips constantly

This led me to the Theory that a trombone is not a sexy instrument.
