More Adventures in Tone. Tone is in your fingers. That's just science.

New video on guitar tone is done. If you've ever wondered why a Tele sounds like a Tele, you should check it out!

Some guitar tone and fretboard calcs -- fun times with JavaScript.

I've put together a video for the Tone Scope and Spectral Eye parts of MIDImorphosis. There's also a lot of detail on the physics of guitar strings (and what causes different pickup locations to sound different). Science!

Going through some old albums, listening to stuff that I have not listened to in a while. I don't know why I like this one so much, but I do. Incredibly strange, but... yeah, there's something special here.
Some Jimmy Page-style guitar rewiring happening at the 'base. A pain in the butt, but it'll be cool when it's all done.
Wow. On Twitter for 13 years, been tinkering with apps for even longer.
Remember the before times, when Twitter was not like it is now? I do.

Guitar rewiring - swapping in four-conductor humbuckers, push-pull pots, and Jimmy Page-style wiring. It's going to be a long day with the soldering iron (and then multiple days with the volt meter to figure out where I screwed up).
Messing around with another guitar. The neck pickup spot is routed for a humbucker, and I've got mounts and rings for a P90, humbucker, and Tele pickup (in three locations). I'll do a video covering the tonal differences (using the FFT in MIDImorphosis, obviously!)
Here’s a cool video from Unlikely Arrangements, demoing Loopy and MIDImorphosis. youtu.be/m8xvngAJ7b4?si=dcT7…

Patterning 3 by @OlympiaNoiseCo is now available to pick up.

Swapped out a sketchy 3-way switch on the Honeycaster, and did some rewiring to enable easy pickup experiments. Gonna swap the humbucker for a stock teleneck, and a P90. Snap connectors on everything, so I won't have to keep soldering all the time.
Dusted off the Livid Guitar Wing, and found out that it can connect to iOS Bluetooth MIDI without the dongle. I had sort of given up on the thing because the Livid software was flaky, and the dongle annoying - but with straight BLE, it rides again!
Quick MidiWrist Unleashed demo - an app from my friend @gbevin. It's a MIDI controller that runs stand-alone on the Apple Watch. Neat stuff!
