CA 2335871
In the field of music, this invention provides a new method of physically controlling the sound (or signal) output of an electric guitar. When the guitar is moved in any way, the invention causes a directly proportional signal change to occur, according to the direction and force of the movement of the guitar. This change of sound is controlled by the way that the musician holds the guitar in reference to the force of gravity. The device itself does not need to be touched. The device is attached to the volume or tone control potentiometer of an electric guitar so that it hangs down like a pendulum, "freezing" the potentiometer into place. The guitar neck (the long thin part of a guitar) is then tilted up or down, depending upon whether the operator wants an increase or a decrease in the chosen sound's control parameters. In the field of music, there are currently many devices for adjusting sound. By using an instrument's own controls, an amplifier, a sound mixing board, a foot controlled sound effect device, a rack-mounted sound effect device, or even a computer, a musician may now alter the output signal of his or her instrument in a plurality of ways. That output of music may be digital or analog, midi or mono, stereo, quad, or light pulse, and it may be channeled through a wireless transceiver, wires, cables or airwaves. There is, at the music receiving end, an equal plurality of devices to restore the sound, in a variety of ways, with a variety of alterations to the aforementioned sound possible at the touch of a button.
