Hardware side zoom g9.2tt editor was pretty much accessible on windows and i believe on OS X as well. POD X3 series could work if you used screen echo mode in jaws to speak changes in the editor while you use the knobs on the unit. Could pretty much get to everything this way.. On the Mac and iOS appkit is accessible, Better cab sims exist but its got enough killer tones hidden there. the AMT electronics Pangea Cab impulse loader appears to be a small useable IR loader for cab sims we could use on a gig looks like lots of buttons and knobs and shows up as a USB drive on the computer for you to copy impulses to in Finder or windows explorer. Bias plug in on OS X looks like it could be useable if you wanted to spend some time with a pair of eyes labeling and hotspotting and etc. Windows version i hear doesn’t reveal anything to the screen reader. Standalone apps on OS X or Windows doesn’t reveal anything to the screen reader it appears.
