    Here's a few cool things that have been going down lately.... firstly we are the UK distributor for Barefoot Buttons, (as pictured)

    head to my website if you fancy buying some.

    and this awesome chap: Graham Coxon of Blur fame, has started to use our pedals which is a real honour and a privilege for me.

    Hi @ThorpyFX ;;

    Do you know if the Barefoot buttons work with the GigRig G2 new Optorails pls? They have a small domed top and are thinner than most other switches. Also, I heard a rumour there may be a challenge for switches near the edge of the G2 as any aftermarket buttons hit the edges of the unit when depressed.

    Any thoughts pls?

    So i can conform that they do not work with the new rails, the button that comes as standard is domed and too big for both the V1 and V2 buttons. As for the switches near the edge with the Original G2 switches, correct the switches sit low to the chassis and as such the BB can foul on the edge.

    Personally on my G2 i don't find this an issue as I just put a small washer into the barefoot button which raises its height by 1.5mm and stops them fouling on the edge of the G2. hope that helps?

    Ah, just sussed out the name of one of the new pedals on Thorpyfx’s Facebook page

    I see “NER” and 4 stars.

    Put the two together and add another star, and you get a “5 star General”.


    Whoooooooooo! Yeah!

    No - it's the NERD pedal - the 5 stars are for his math's test result.
    It gets you a wedgie or a Chinese burn at breaktime

    Hmmm. Just had a proper look and I don't think it's an R. Right hand leg looks wrong for an R, and I think it's more like a N or M, so something with NEN, NEM in it, but my brain is drawing a blank.

    Going by @ThorpyFX's not so subtle hint, I would of went with Informant or Informer, but that doesn't fit the text or spacing. And everything else I can think of relating to four stars wouldn't fit.
