Title: Anyone who plays guitar, or who might know what this piece of equipment is...
Post by: Selkie on September 22, 2007, 04:46:58 PM
Alright, it's like a pretty small rectangular boxy thing. It's not a petal, you use your hands.

It's kinda like a little computer that you plug in like a petal. Input and output.

You can create beats and rhythms on it to play along with on the guitar.

Anyone know the name of these things? Not like a specific brand name, but the literal name for the things.

for some reason, I don't think that's it.

I mean, I've never seen an input and output jack on a harmonica, but hey, mine is like from the 90's

That's because it's not electric.

It's not an actual instrument, it's just a computer thing to process beats and rhythms to play along with on the guitar.

Though I see where you're coming from with harmonica

That's a horrible description. I'm not going to search for you with that limited amount of information.

Look to see if you see it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_effects).

it's not a petal, it's just a box about the size of a petal with a bunch of switches and a small screen.

it plays beats and rhythms to play over with the guitar.

how else can I describe it?

Those things a re pretty cool. I've been thinking about getting one, but I'm leaning more towards on old-school drum machine.
