That's true for amps but many FX-boxes(Ibanez, Boss etc) use them. And 
we should remember, that real amps have at least 19inch "graphical" 
interfaces with a resolution of about 0.5 Millimeters they call their 
own... And if they would have to deliver the same FX/flexibility as 
guitarix they may easily end up with a square-meter of interface-real 
estate being in use.

I second that: the wheels are OK. They may not be sooo nice to handle 
but at the other hand they are intuitive and they indicate their status 
at first glance while not using the same space on the GUI as faders would.
Faders are, whatsoever always preferable. But space is an issue if you 
want an app as versatile as guitarix to show up everything at first glance.

yeah -- quite well methinks too :-)
