Nice idea but..

..not very useful. It aint easy to calibrate and then you have to hold it with your foot when you want a certain sound. There are better options

Terrible design

It's from awkward to useless if you wish to hold a position for a time as it just can stand with your foot out of it at zero. It can't even get back properly to its place, is such a nice idea but with basic flaws that turns it into something of very limited usability, it's frustrating.
