Nexi beer proof pedals

Just got this through on an email. Thought it was, if nothing else, an interesting ad campaign....

It's interesting.
The flaw, I think, is that it looks it's a system, with the whole pedal board and stuff.
And you know, as a breed of guitarists, it's typically just choosing a pedal here and a pedal there, buy and flip, mix and match till you get your specification, your sound.  No one company can manage that.

Agreed. When it's so integrated, you might as well just buy a multi-fx unit, as you're limited to using only one manufacturer's fx in either case.

Now if it was built round Boss pedals then they might stand a chance of a single-company pedal board.

How many people have actually had pedals damaged by beer? I know it does occasionally happen but it's a long way down the list of hazards. I think I can remember two or three, in thirty years of fixing stuff - and that's counting all drinks as 'beer' [/heresy].

Amp damage caused by drinks getting in through the top vent, AKA 'beer trap' is far more common, in fact I was working on another one this week.

"Beer Trap"

Great name for a pedal.

Or the ones who can get great sounds out of them .

They're also reasonably beer-proof since they have a properly-designed housing which covers the switch, not just leaving it sticking up on top .
