Parabolas and the Electric Guitar

[glp2012]

DelSonix says that its clip-on guitar speaker can give a solid body electric a 10 dB sonic boost, which can be directed straight at the player. The implication is that it is a "speaker" and will "boost" the sound. Nice idea, but it seems to use the idea of a parabola to project the sound back at you. Kinda like a satellite dish. This item will This item is $26 dollars. Instead, take a clothes pin, a popsicle stick, and some plastic and fashion one yourself.

 

Great project for the next Holiday!

Or, just rest the headstock against a piece of solid wood furniture....your electric will be louder unplugged, try it, some furniture is more resonant than others, but we dont need to get into that here....

I used to press the headstock of my bass against the case when I was in school. Back befor portable pocket amps were out there.

The Douglas Fir tree was probably old growth and had a Spotted Owl nest in it before this enviro-terrorist company cut it down. Shame on them.
