To be fair, Leo Fender didn’t play guitar. He did pretty well.

But did Leo Fender maintain a kernel?
Oh god what if he finds out about eurocrack
As a noise artist nothing grinds my gears more that people saying guitar pedals are for guitars.
Except possibly that bass pedals are for bass guitars ...
I don't mess with physical pedals much, but I use the software equivalents on a regular basis in my DAW. (For me, hardware vs. software arguments are pointless if I get the sound I want.) Guitar-centric effects can produce some crazy and fun sounds, actually.
FWIW and more for the people that don't know, the use of guitar pedals fairly common with synthesizers these days. To the average synth person, a pedal is just another flavor of module with different form factor.
Heck, I was using my DAW as a "guitar pedal" the other day. It makes no difference to me how all the pluggy bits plug together as long as it still makes noise. (I don't know squat about playing a guitar, but I still got some awesome and super unique samples though.)
You and Emily Hopkins are cut from the same cloth.
Ah, the Harp Lady.
Oh you mean gothegg?
aren't they the same person?
Thanks for the new channel. Surprised I've never run across it before.
Here me out. I build guitars as a hobby. I had the idea of building a simple eurorack as the body of a guitar. I just don't know enough about them to get started in earnest. Do you have recommendations on where to start for modules?
First take your wallet and flush it down the toilet.
Then check out Sarah Bell Reid
Then download VCV rack and fuck around for free
Then forget the whole idea because you're better off building a custom modular synth from scratch as part of a guitar and I think that would actually be super rad.
Aw, what a lovely story
Apparently he makes them for fun in his spare time, along with building Lego sets.
