This makes me unreasonably happy to see. Lots of disability accommodations don't take that much extra effort to implement, but they can mean the world to the people who need them.
I fucking absolutely love this guy. 30 years ago I hade a blind musician friend that I hung with. One day I came over and he was in front of the TV, it was all snowy but the sound worked. I said what are you doing, he said I'm listening to happy days! He was native American and the happiest, poorest person I ever knew.
If they did it once, they can certainly do it again. But it would likely be an "on request" option, as the demand may not be that high. Then again, get word out that they're doing this, and they might be busier than they expect..
This content is purely an ad. Were I to lose my sight, I might have one of my real Marshall, Fender, Peavey, Carvin amps labeled, not act like a dumbass in a skit about some no-name amp nobody would ever be excited about. Like that one spokesblonde girl for prosthetic arms that other must buy. The only challenge is modeling amps with a digital display or even software, which are a challenge to gig with anyway.
People can be born blind and having options with embedded braille would be much more resilient to wear and easier to use right out of the gate. Not everything has to be complex, accessibility as a standard option should be available for purchase for everything.

Well, I'm buying a victory now

Wow maybe this should just be standard on amps. It doesn't hurt anything, they should just start adding braille

That is great. :)

Imagine if Brad Pitt in the movie Seven were blind.

This guy has a "I just got an N64 for Christmas in the late 90s" energy. I LOVE it!

Braille label makers exist, both electric printers and manual embossers. Would those have worked for him?
Futuron
Now he needs pedals with braille on them so he can tell them apart while playing.

Yeah but does it go to 11 in Braille?
beeeeeeerkaaaaa
My brain glitches I thought "cool, its got braille but he won't be able to hear it".
keyserv
Holy shit that is beautiful.
Evenmoreuselessname
That's cool it'd come with braille by default, but I also figure a blind musician would already have one of these https://carroll.org/product/braille-label-maker/

That's awesome!!

Stupid ad

I'm okay with this one
GenStrike
Nah man, blind folks got it rough. It's nice when things are made accessible to them.
IHateToTurnUpTheVolumeOfMyTvBecauseMyCatIsSnoring
So an ad for gullible people

That's pretty cool, hopefully they'll make that into a standard design / option for all their amps for people to buy that could need it.

Was this an attempt at humor? Of course I'm talking about the braille labels because I haven't seen those on very many amps before.

Bro, Victory is a killer amp brand based out of the UK. They make better amps than marshall.

I can’t feel these bumps! How am I supposed to read them, they all feel like the crack in my screen protector!

Maybe you should keep your crack somewhere else.
