Abstract: A system and method for a universal aux footswitch for controlling digital guitar pedals. The footswitch has multiple internal control circuits which are selectable. The footswitch is compatible with diode based switching, Strymon, Meris, and Boss style digital guitar pedals. The footswitch has a mounting bracket with breakaway panels so that its size may be tailored to various size pedals.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to instruments and methods of performing an endoscopy. An endoscope for producing images of a surgery in vivo may include a hub and an imaging rod extending from the hub, the imaging rod being configured to receive light and direct the light to an imaging sensor located adjacent to a distal end of the imaging rod, the hub and the imaging rod being attached to form an assembly having a center of mass established distally of the hub. In other implementations, the hub may be omitted.
