tomrulez Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 You have to attach the strip to a micro controller which then outputs midi messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.Bruce Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 No problem. But I'm not sure if it'll live up to your expectations. You'll need plenty of sustain probably. EDIT: Oh yeah, what Tom said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braun Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 In a next guitar, I would think putting a BoxOfRock or SuperDuper diy (edit : Distortron is a good peddle ?)... But, why not, a Fuzz Face, slightly modified. Not as a Fuzz Face that would become a F-Factory, but a little less. Ohh and in the current MoC-Bass, I didn't put-in anything .. but I'll think about it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerthekiwi Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Pickups and a volume control and wood. I love using my pedals with all sorts of different sources, synths, samplers, vocals, bass, drums... all sorts of fun to be had there. This. Both points.

Don'tPostThePear Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 nothing really, or maybe a switch to switch between vol/tone pot positions, i am really shit at adjusting them mid-song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Hippo Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'd quite like to see a phaser with a wah/fuzz probe type theremin control - stick a sustainer in and you could get pretty cool sounds without touching the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impulse 101 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Usually a volume knob and a unity gain buffer. A blower switch is also great. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I want a marshall echohead with all controls on the top of the guitar, and a little push button for tap tempo. I might do it actually. I want to put it in my bass but my bass is too nice to hack up. Anyone got a spare 6 string bass? Usually a volume knob and a unity gain buffer. A blower switch is also great. JT A blower switch!??!

rockandroll Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'd put a soda stream in a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedy180 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 hmmm... probably a distortion pedal, Matt B seems to switch between clean and 'OMG GAIN' a lot in songs (main example, stockholm syndrome). other than that i think a compressor would be rather good, i like tapping (not any good at it, but i like it). possibly a fuzz factory/some kind of fuzz. And yeah, they guy with the white Les paul in the vid...over did it a bit. Still cool, but...too much. Although i like the proximity wah concept... problem is i like my guitars light, LP's are heavy compared to my SG:) EDIT: and a bottle opener, i might do that to my current one actually, would sit well on the front of my Hutchins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blower switch cuts directly to the bridge humbucker without a volume knob or tone in the circuit, at least the way that I like it wired.

JT Ahhh. What do you gain by bypassing the tone and volume, compared to having the tone and volume all the way up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faptdivers Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 An output buffer , killswitch , solo switch , varitone , phase switch , series/parallel switch , individual switches for each pickup , pre-amp/booster , passive or active tonestack , active eq , coil split. I think that about covers the basics. Ahhh. What do you gain by bypassing the tone and volume, compared to having the tone and volume all the way up? Basically when the signal from your pickups goes through volume > tone > jack , the volume and tone pots load the signal (especially when you have the volume set to anything lower than 10) , loosing some of the high treble frequencies. The solo/blower switch basically just wires your bridge pickup directly to the jack , removing the pots from the equation when turned on. You can obtain the same results by doing the "treble bleed mod" but you lose the sweep of the volume pot (google it). I highly recomend you guys get output buffers in your guitars if you are tone freaks like me. They basically compensate for any loss of tone along the line caused by cables or low input impedance pedals. Another thing I`m gonna be trying out soon is using the tonestack from a Big Muff Pi instead of the normal tone pot , it should be interesting.

cheddatom Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 So a tone pot full on still cuts treble? That's a bit shit. You don't need a buffer in your guitar if you have a buffer in a pedal, which most people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faptdivers Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 When you turn your volume pot down , it cuts treble like a deranged butcher in a slaughterhouse. And trust me , an output buffer inside a guitar makes a huge difference. If you use a long cable (3-6m) without one you lose alot of definition and treble (the cable basically acts as a resistor). I recomend reading this. Listen to the sound samples at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
