Hi Dave: Amps and effects peddles are indeed a problem for blind people but then so are washing machines, stoves and just about everything flat panel or touch screen these days unless regulated by government or where some type of audio I/O helps sighted folks. There are usually some not too expensive work-arounds that can be implemented by the companies but why should they if it doesn't increase their bottom line - I wouldn't and don't. I don't care if you or any other blind person can use my products, you are too small, lower income a group to be of concern to me compared to the massive sighted community market. Sure, I feel sorry for you but it is your job to get government to setup and enforce regulations on all of us vendors or I will not provide one minute of work twoard accessibility if my competition doesn't have to do it. You can find a sighted person to help you setup and adjust your equipment during gigs or find a third party company who will help develop some hardware to make the equipment you want to use accessible - that is what charaties are for and why they don't have to pay taxes. Perhaps you can go to some church and beg for help. God Bless and, truly, good luck: A Good Capitalist Man
