    Default Things you wish they'd invent........(or at least, make)

    a remote control 'jamming amp' - I enjoy noodling in my armchair in the lounge.....nothing too loud, and all sorts of ecletic guff......so something like a modelling amp, or Yam THR10 is ideal..........however I dont want it right beside me, I want it 10 feet away - so I can get better 'feel' from the speakers...............but I dont want to keep getting up to change settings/channels......etc etc so I want an amp with a remote control

    so someone get on and make it..........

    You obviously need to employ a Gentleman's gentleman. Maybe Jeeves is looking for a new employer.

    That would be an utterly brilliant product.

    Same type of thing is do-able with some modellers via i-Thingies integration with DAWs, I know Presonus Studio One has a lot of i-Phone/Pad/Touch integration and runs NI Guitar Rig. So I doubt it would be too much of a problem to have some kind of wi-fi connection to the controls of a modelling amp via any kind of tablet or smartphone. Someone should definitely make one, preferably with an included dedicated remote.

    *caveat* I wouldn't buy one, I sit 3 feet away from my small home amp and have my PC and pedalboard to hand (and foot). Still a great idea though
    Light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until they make a noise.

    Great Idea.

    I suppose you could do it with a head and cab with a lengthy speaker cable.

    That would work too, although I'm not a fan of these High Tech, pie in the sky solutions.

    If not, just you wait!

    You just need monkey servants.
    Ideally wearing little hats like the ones Krustie the Clown has on the Simpsons.

    Be careful though- they might become super-intelligent and take over the planet- damn dirty apes!

    true, but not an ideal solution for the average persons lounge/living area

    Or a very patient mate with hearing protection.
