I noticed what looks like a phone jack on the bottom of the guitar. I read in the manual it is for an effects pedal, which is not out yet. I really want to know more about this. Anyone have any knowledge of it?

ive seen pedals with the orange button on it. I'm not sure if thats what it is but it was intresting

Its probably just going to be some distortion or wah pedal that nerds pay an upwards of $30 for. Just go buy a real pedal.

So says a non-nerd on Xbox-Scene forums

I don't own the Xbox guitar but I understand it's a standard phone jack... and if you look at where it connects to the PCB, it's only two points.

So I'm thinking simple on/off switch. Try wiring a switch (or better yet, gut and stick a switch in a real pedal ) to maybe the center two connectors on the RJ11 and see what happens! And if not a switch, put a potentiometer in there instead...

(As always, not responsible if you let the magic smoke out, etc, etc...)

The jack is the same used on the xbox wireless racing wheel, aka a standard phone jack. I pluged the pedals from the racing wheel into it and nothing, no good. I dont have a source but I read eariler today from a segment from an interview with one of the delveopers that no pedals are planned for this version of guitar hero, but guitar hero 3 will have functioning effects pedals, they put the port there so you whould not have to buy a new guitar when the next game comes out. ROCK ON.

Haha, The magic smoke. I am very tempted to try this. It would be cool to do. Unfortunatly, i'm broke until friday. I will head to the local guitar shop and pick up a cheapo distortion pedal and see what happens.
