Ben Heck’s Guitar Hero Pedal [Guitar Hero]
What, Ben Heck, coming up with excellent, craft, gaming-related things? You don’t say. This is his latest contraption, a heavy-duty pedal designed to work with Guitar Hero to give it that extra dash of authenticity. After Heck did some one-handed GH controllers for the Games for Health conference, Activision decided to send him some guitars for further experimentation, and these are what he came up with. Although primarily designed to allow someone with the use of only one hand to play Guitar Hero (as the pedal allows them to strum with their feet), they can also be used to activate the whammy bar, giving them a much more general application. While they look nice and rugged, the highlight’s got to be the fact he wired them using the controller cables from an old Jaguar controller.
