the Saxxy guit-synth (duct-tape d.i.y.)

[fatback]

From the same folks at Fatback Labs that brought you "wah-wah boots: the untold story" comes a brand new episode of Duct-Tape D.I.Y.

Take one Saxxy electronic kazoo...

-add a Dean Markley mini amp
-half a tennis ball (sound funnel)
-a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter
-a small cardboard box
-some bubble wrap to insullate to sound from the amp
-half a roll of duct tape

...and voila! Your have your very own three voice monophonic guitar synth:

Obviously, the innards of the Saxxy could be made into a pedal, but with my limited knowledge and tools at hand, this was my simple work-around. By cranking the mini-amp I found the tracking and sustain to vastly improve.



Does anyone else have any re-purposed toys that they use with guitar?

Great, I love this kind of stuff, saw it a bit late
thanks!

[prehistoric]

i love all of it. great diy spirit, great guitar playing ( riffs match the tones)
and the visual effects are really cool.
fatback merges multiple genres, is a groundbreaker IMO

overall, A+++
