Dave Scepter Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 My first reaction was that I wanted to quickly dismiss this but then I found myself oddly interested~ did this guy just reinvent the door?

kizanski Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Took me about 2 seconds to decide that I won't be buying anything that looks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Custom Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 You have to love that guitar innovation always seems to revert to antiquated technologies. One step forward, two steps backward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So, is it anything more than a tube-driven preamp built into the guitar? I don't see what the big deal is about, unless of course you GOTTA HAVE DEM TUBES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but I don't think so... I'd like to find more information about it as I'm always open to new ideas/inventions even if they are just reinventing the wheel... it sounds pretty good, I think it would be a nice Gadget to create what appears to be a three-dimensional type tone...

tbonesullivan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Well, that would be a two-fold bonus, as you get both the signal integrity from an active preamp, as well as the tube coloration. Having to have a big cord go into the guitar from a floor unit is kinda annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a while ago, my hero Ronnie Montrose had a guitar with a pickup/pole pieces wired to individual strings & and each string was connected to separate monitors above the stage in a horseshoe shape & and when he struck a chord, the sound literally came from the left sweeping over to the right & when he soloed, it was like a barrage of notes flying at you from different angles... I may or may not have been under the influence of anesthesia but it was pretty cool at the time 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaVO Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'd rather just buy a Danelectro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I appreciate someone having a new idea for something, but it doesn't seem to add anything more than what you'd have if you had pedals with tubes. No pricing tells me it's pricey. I guess you can create a new inner roasted guitar category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
