Video description:

"Here is the sounds demo of my hybrid guitar prototype:

Guitar: Harley Benton te-30 BE (88€)
Hexaphonic pickup: Roland GK Kit (98€)
-Piezo and pre-amp:Joyo JE-305 (23€)
-Buffer: MusikDing kit (9€)
+stereo jack, 13 pin cable, led, button, tools...

The sound is wet: recorded directly from the pedal board into the audio interface. In real situation I use two amps (a Vox AC30 and a home made amp) for a perfect stereo effect. My aim was to have 3 different but complementary sounds and a huge stereo sound.

E.guitar effects:

-Visual Sound Route 66 (comp and OD)
-Harley Benton (Joyo) Extreme Metal (Disto)
-Harley Benton AC Tone (preamp)
-Boss DD3 (Delay)

Ac. guitar effect:

-Boss CS3 (comp)
- Boss GE7 (EQ)
-Behringer DR600 (Verb)

Synth effect:

-Line 6 tap Tremolo (I use it for a moving effect from right to left or as a slicer)
I 'd like to add a vintage stereo phaser...

The Synth is a Roland JX-8P, a 6 voices anolog synth MIDI controlled. I reboxed it as a desktop module. Under my pedal board is the MIDI converter (Yamaha G50)

I switch the sounds with a home made switching box (stereo for the synth). I added, before the global outputs, audio isolation transformers to prevent ground loops problems.

The Harley Benton could be a very good guitar (for the price) with good pickups, I planed to change them."
