"Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.8 Telstar-The Clavioline
Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals!
No keyboards,samplers or midi pickups were used.
In today's episode studio musician Bill Ruppert recreates the classic hit Telstar using just a guitar and Electro-Harmonix effect pedals.
Telstar was one of the fist pop hits to feature a synthesizer.
The Clavioline was a very early synthesizer using vacuum tubes.
Bill Ruppert also demonstrates some very unusual effects through the video as well.
EHX Pedals featured:Soul Preacher, Stereo Memory Man, Big Muff, Pulsar, Poly Phase, MicroSynth, Cathedral, Poly Chorus"

No synthesizers, but it uses a guitar pedal called "MicroSynth" :)
ReplyDeleteHello!!!!!!!!! I love it though - very creative and I used to have "Telstar" on 45. I have even been involved in repairing a clavoline when I worked for Northwest Organ Service in Spokane. Lots of very old wax caps and fabric covered wiring.
Love EHX pedals, I own both Small Clone and Small Stone, and would love any of those in this fun video
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteThe EHX MircoSynth I used is basically just a distortion device with filters.
Not a classic synthesizer:-)
You could call it "distortion synthesis".
