ah, so you need an effects-processor that lets you change parameters via an external controller, right?

my idea came from what I saw on a Dream Theatre live DVD. their keyboard-player used some sort of pad that seemed to track his fingers position and how much pressure he put I think (saw it some time ago). he moved his finger to change pitch and (I think) also effects parameters and I thought its a pretty cool thing allowing for more expression and all than your usual synth/keyboard

well, here's one i'm building (my first build, too)....it's a work-in progress that's currently in Mike Sherman's possession for finishing. i'll get it back in about 2-1/2 weeks and then it'll be a couple more weeks after that before it's done...need to make the final design for the pickguard and get that ordered, and i'll also be shielding the cavities with conductive shielding paint. need to decide on and order pickups, too.

as of Feb. 29:

once it's done, it'll look something like this:

the neck was made for me by Doug at SoulMate Guitars, completely to my specs. the body was mostly my work, but i got some help from Jon at Mouradian Guitar Repair and Mike Sherman as well.

yay, checked the website and found out a bit more about that thing. I think its something really really cool!
actually watching a few vids of that beast in use kinda inspired me to pick up my guitar and fool around a bit and I actually found out I can do similar effects. not all of the stuff of course, its still a guitar and not a continuum controlled synth after all but you definitally can do weird stuff.
just plugged into my VAmp pro, used a heavy distortion lead sound with lots of reverb, chorus and delay, switched on my wah, threw in lots of tremolo-action and had a good time haha

now I'm looking into slides and volume-pedals

off-topic, I know, I just had to post it somewhere
