how can some of you guys want rigs in the middle? This would be way too awkward

It all depends how you're used to work. I tend rarely to change rig during a song, I instead prefer to use the volume on the guitar and the stomps

Christoph: what about a blank design where the buttons are not pre-assigned to specific functions and a few layout presets that allows you to swap the rigs row with the stomps one or move the banks from left to right or configure it the way you like it (ex: press and hold a button to assign the function from the available ones from a scroll menu). The design would have to be simmetrical and the labels could be magnetic (like the ones available for the MFC 101 or the GCP). This would make it by far the most flexible proprietary controller on the market.
Just an idea...

Ok, then it is a matter of genre.
As a more rock/metal oriented player, some songs would require me to change multiple rigs during 1 song (clean, semi-dirty, full blown metal, solo sound etc.). Plus, it does not require much effect use...

And a great idea it is! If it is possible...
(The only prob I see is with the LED's above the buttons that CK mentioned)

Led are cheap, they could be on top of every button....

Would you like
- The six button design (bank buttons second row) or five button design (bank buttons third row)?
- The bank buttons left aligned or right aligned? (Some might like to use the left food while playing cause you don't move the guitar by your left leg)
- The rig buttons or the effect buttons on the lowest row?

6 button
right
Rigs

Many of you choose the 6 buttons per row. Is this because you want the bank buttons closer?

In my case yes. The question is how the bank buttons will work.
E.G. if you're on preset 2C and you press "bank up" will you get to 3C automatically or will it get you into some kind of "browse mode" where you then have to choose the preset of the bank you just selected? (thats the way the line6 stuff works)
