Mutant contraption: Kaossilator Guitar

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower"

-Steve Jobs

"To make a rock 'n' roll record, technology is the least important thing."

-Keith Richards

I think my guitar lives somewhere between those 2 ideas. Endlessly fascinating, this instrument’s inspired imaginations for over 1000 years.

If Jimi were alive and Eddie hadn’t drank it all away, they would be masters of the Kaossilator Guitar. If you’re not hip to what that is, check You Tube. Again, the guitar proves why it’s the ultimate platform for individualism and musical self-expression. Van Halen customized his guitars and Jimi modded his amps; the Kaossilator (a synthesizer wired right into a guitar) would literally induce a frenzy in their pants. This mutant contraption offers an ultra modern way compose, manipulate and down right fiddle out sounds the world’s never heard.

So Google “Kaoss Pad Guitar” and witness the latest evolution of an instrument that’s been sending shivers down people’s legs for over a 1000 years.
