PO-33 Guitar Pedal Mod

Standard Pocket Operators aren't semi-modular, but that didn't stop /u/WorkingLetterhead from creating the ultimate hands-free gig mod. This custom-built physical guitar pedal features four sturdy stompswitches and an external patch bay routing grid. By running connections to the PO-33's physical button pads, guitarist-operators can patch any stompswitch to any button (like play, record, or specific drum/pattern trigger pins) to loop guitar riffs, trigger samples, and play beats on the fly while leaving their hands free to play guitar.
