Matthias Many thanks for sharing your information with us. You have mentioneded bad cross-talk with magnetic pickups that have led you to mechanical transduction. Have you had experience with the Godin guitars?

And I really tried hard to explain that it can be used to play chords, but still, the ones that would be able to play polyphonically said: "I will never try any distortion" and the ones interested in distortion did some quick solo line and were disapointed that it did not sound as dirty as the Marshall. I did not just build 6 filters and 6 distortiors, but the clipping is dynamic, so strings with different volumes will still have thoses different volumes after distortion, so you can make a melody stand out of a chord. And you all heard it at Loopstock :-) And its on my site, you can build one. > >Mark Sottilaro > >Mark Hamburg wrote: > >> on 1/2/03 10:46 AM, Richard Zvonar at zvonar@zvonar.com wrote: >> >> > RMC also makes the Freakout Box, which provides individual audio >> > outputs per string.
