Bill Ruppert: the guitar as telstar!

Bill Ruppert says: Hi this is Bill Ruppert.
I am writing to tell you of a new Effectology video I know your viewers would enjoy and have fun watching. This is the video series I do for Electro-Harmonix on how to produce "impossible" sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals.

In this episode of Effectology I recreate the classic 1961 pop record hit "Telstar" using just a regular guitar and effect pedals.. The British hit "Telstar" was written and produced by the legendary recording engineer Joe Meek. It was one of the first chart topping records to feature a synthesizer!
"Telstar" used a VERY early vacuum tube Synthesizer called the Clavioline. It opened the world up to new sounds never heard before.

We do it with just a guitar and effect pedals! I also explore some other very fun sounds along the way.
