Electro-Faustus Photo Theremin

Uh, you can't run a guitar or bass into the photo theremin, because it's a fucking theremin
Its an oscillator

WHOAAAAAAA... man.
I guess what I was trying to say WAS... has anyone ran one through their amp? maybe in their effects loop for noise while playing bass or guitar or something.

Re: Electro-Faustus Photo Theremin
I had the photo theremin, it's cool. It works well alot of fun to use with pedals, kinda lack luster by it's self, for the price totally worth it. I sold mine because I needed money for something, I can't remember. But, it was super cool when i had it. I'm curious about the oscillator, but haven't tried it.

Cool! What did you run it with/through?

Reverb, delay, phaser, flanger, chorus, and EQ.
The only thing I don't like about it is that the box is similar in build quality to a big box "big muss" or similar pedal. Also that it doesn't come with a battery (9 volt), and when you open it up, everything is right there, i was kinda nervous about not pulling anything loose. The build is awesome, I was just nervous. If you completely cover the photo eye it oscillates, also if you leave it in the middle of the room and switch the lights on and off, i goes super high, super low, super high, super low. It's an awesome toy, but not practical, duh.

Re: Electro-Faustus Photo Theremin
The photo theremin comes in around the 58 second mark. Towards the very end you can hear how high it can go, lol. I should also have a clip of their dual oscillator around somewhere.

Re: Electro-Faustus Photo Theremin
Any amp and fx chain is good, really, as long as it has headroom for some noise input. If You can imagine Your amp taking a few stacked dirt pedals, I guess You can play through that.
