Just so people know - you can plug an extra bass pedal into the Jack on the bottom of the new guitars and it will activate Overdrive when you press the pedal - everytime perfectly - no dropping notes waving the guitar around trying to activate it.

I am assuming that the are going to release like a Stomp Box type add on later for this jack but in the meantime you can use a bass pedal or make one with a push button etc to do the same thing with a mono jack on it.

This is going to help scores alot cause i have seen so many people drop note streaks trying to activate Overdrive.

Hope this is useful info to someone....

Very useful. I was trying to use the first pedal (connected to the drums, oops) to do this.

I play a pretty consistent 5 stars on medium, but I fail out a lot on hard. I'm very inbetween the difficulties. having the ability to overdrive without moving my "golden playing position" is a god-send.

Thanks for the tip.

It is really helful to help keep that note streak going not having to fight with the guitar
