Abstract: An instrument string guide for changing the path of a string on a musical instrument is disclosed. The instrument string guide engages the musical instrument string between the end of operational length and point of string termination. This device comprises a base 1 and tapered radiused slot 2 to attach to the musical instrument. The tapered radiused slot 2 keeps the devise attached to the musical instrument. The tapered radiused slot also guides the string around the radiused edge more easily to reduce friction. The instrument string guide rests against a part of the instrument to become stationary.

Abstract: Pedal assemblies and methods provide for signal control, such as for controlling audio and/or effects path signals used in generating audio from a musical instrument. The pedal assemblies may provide for simultaneous audio and effects control via electrical pathways dedicated to each. Rotation of the pedal about one or more axes of rotation results in modifying an electrical characteristic of devices of the pedal that control the audio and effects path signals. A particular axis of rotation that modifies the electrical characteristic of a device may be configured to produce a particular audio or effects path control based on which of the jacks are in use such that by changing the jacks that are in use, the function of a particular axis of rotation may change. Furthermore, a pedal assembly may provide for two axes of rotation where the centers of rotation of the two axes are non-coincident. The two axes of rotation may be better isolated as a result.
