A Little Black Box That Could Change Guitars Forever
- DigitalSea 14y agoThis is pretty darn impressive, it changes the way the guitar sounds like by manipulating the vibration of the guitar all without amplification. It seems a little over-the-top though, impressive from a technical perspective in how it alters the sound in realtime but this device would probably be more expensive than altering the sound downstream. There is a lot more innovation in the guitar space than people actually think. A company called Line 6 has been pushing the boundaries of amplifiers and guitars for a few years now, albeit digitally but on the same level. They have a line of Variax guitars that allow you to digitally down-tune your guitar by turning a knob and ability to program them via a software application. Really impressive device nonetheless, I never thought such a thing would be possible without amplification on an acoustic guitar.

- DigitalSea 14y agoThere's amplification and then there's amplification. Strings vibrating within a hollow body cavity is a form of amplification, but I was referring to amplification via an external amplifier and speaker as most guitarists would imply and know when using the word amplifier.
