Extending the soundscape of a hexaphonic guitar pickup
sorveltaja:
Today more cardboarding:
Before putting the tone control and fuzz into the vocoder enclosure, it's easier to first test different combinations, to see, how they work. Knobs need to be printed, and power supply wirings added.

Tone control and fuzz are now tested and working. Haven't used them with the vocoder yet, as I got bitten by the "guitar repair/mod" -bug.

The new guitar, that I have, needs some minor fret leveling to get the strings lower, without too much string buzz. It should be done right at the first shot, so I'm going to practice the techniques, using the old crappy Ibanez, which requires a lot more fretwork anyways, to be playable.
Then came also the idea to scallop the fretboard of that old bugger. It's something that has haunted me for years. If I mess it up, no harm done. If successful, I have probably given it a whole new life.
But yeah, I'll get back to testing the vocoder with its new companions every now and then.
In the end, I'll install the hex pickup system back to the guitar, that was used for testing it. Before that, there is some rewiring to do, to make it a bit easier.
