This is more terrific info, Mark, thanks for the sound samples, I
always wondered what hex fuzz was like. Quite dramatic! The fading
between hex and regular fuzz is really, really a cool effect. I don't
know why, the block chords through hex fuzz make me think of
Christmas... The first hexaphonic guitar I ever heard about was the Gittler, which I'm sure people are familiar with. I found a very interesting interview with its creator that some may not have seen: http://www.vintageguitar.com/brands/details.asp?ID=102 The article includes this phrase - " incorporating a pickup and output for each string that could be amplified and modified through a separate system for each string, and sextra-phonically arpeggiated over an entire stage". Sextra-phonically arpeggiated! I just went weak in the knees and I don't even know why! Here's a nice slobber-worthy Gittler pic (those frets look awfully fat, especially high up the "neck", anyone ever play one?): http://www.umanovguitars.com/store/details.asp?prodid=2100&cat=620&path=600,620 sextraphonically, Daryl Shawn www.swanwelder.com Hope this info helps.
