Abstract
A system is provided for selectively activating at least one foot activation device. The system includes an enclosure configured to hold the at least one foot activation device. Additionally, the system includes at least one handle coupled to a top portion of the enclosure, where each handle is positioned above a respective foot activation device and are mutually coupled to one another. Each handle is displaced in a direction toward the respective foot activation device such that each handle selectively activates the respective foot activation device.
Claims10
A system for selectively activating at least one foot activation device, comprising:
- an enclosure configured to hold said at least one foot activation device;
- and
- at least one handle coupled to a top portion of said enclosure, said at least one handle being positioned above a respective foot activation device, said at least one handle being mutually coupled;
- wherein said at least one handle is displaced in a direction toward said at least one foot activation device such that said at least one handle selectively activates said at least one foot activation device;
- wherein said at least one foot activation device is electrically coupled to an amplifier, said at least one foot activation device comprises;
- at least one foot switch configured to selectively activate a respective acoustic channel of an amplifier upon said selective activation of said at least one foot switch,
- at least one musical effect pedal configured to selectively activate a respective acoustic effect of said activated acoustic channel of said amplifier upon said selective activation of said at least one musical effect pedal,
- and wherein said top portion is a top perimeter of said enclosure, a first end of said at least one handle is coupled to a spring loaded bar mounted along a first side of said top perimeter, said spring loaded bar is configured to rotate said at least one handle away from said foot activation device.
A system for selectively activating at least one of a plurality of channels of a musical amplifier, comprising:
- an enclosure configured to hold a plurality of foot activation devices;
- and
- a plurality of handles coupled to said enclosure, said handles being positioned above a respective foot activation device and coupled to a top portion of said enclosure, said handles being mutually coupled such that said handles are simultaneously displaced;
- wherein at least one of said handles are displaced in a direction toward said respective foot activation device such that said at least one handle selectively activates at least one of said foot activation devices;
- wherein said plurality of foot activation devices are electrically coupled to an amplifier, said plurality of foot activation devices comprising;
- a plurality of foot switches configured to selectively activate a respective acoustic channel of said amplifier upon said selective activation of said foot switches,
- a plurality of musical effect pedals configured to selectively activate a respective acoustic effect of said activated acoustic channel of said amplifier upon said selective activation of said musical effect pedals,
- and wherein said top portion is a top perimeter of said enclosure, a first end of said handles are coupled to a spring loaded bar mounted along a first side of said top perimeter, said spring loaded bar is configured to rotate said handles away from said foot activation devices.
