I could try sampling it...whattaya need? A couple bars of swing, straight, sixteenth-note swing, slow, fast, with or without wah effect? Keep in mind it takes me about a zillion punch-ins to get through a three-minute song with this device, so there's going to be some jankiness, beat-wise.

Pickup's in the back, on the metal a couple inches below the wooden part.

Cool fancy sampling me some of this, to play to?... where the pickup?

At that point, people a mile away will know what you did.

Hmm...maybe I should try building one? Never much cared for the neighbors two mailboxes up the road. :-))

Jason: she won't until you plug it in. At that point, people a mile away will know what you did.

Yeh love those sounds....let's do a song!!

eK: I could do that, or use it to add some terrible disco noises. Ka-chikk'a vs. waka-jawaka...

Mike: yeah, I noticed that as well. Took me about two minutes of playing the thing to think, "Man, I wish I'd'a put that jack somewhere else."

The perfect thing for adding in some nightime 'swamp noises' and atmosphere to the mix.

Ka-chikk'a-caw-caw!

Hmmmm...

Out in de bayou

By a hollar' log

Wit' a one-eye cat

And a three-legged dog

Ka-chikk'a-caw-caw!

Hmmmm...

Lives a voudon witch

Name of Madam LeBeau

An if handsome Jack

Don't leave her alone

She say: Skreeeeeee-yah!!!!

...And another man done gone!

 

Hmmmm...

Ka-chikk'a-caw-caw!

 

:-))

It sounds really good.  The one suggestion I would give is to move the amp cord to the bottom of the washboard so it is out of your way more.
