cello + multi effects pedal – talent = this

I bought myself a multi effects pedal for the cello today. Let the rock begin.

Whilst mucking around with the pedal I came up with a metal riff and quickly whipped it into a song. Check it out on myspace, listen and enjoy.

  1. Fuck man, I’m SO jealous.
    Rest-assured, my index and little fingers are satanised and bobbing as I type with one hand.

  2. Ben must be lovin’ this…and Leah and your neighbour even more!

  3. Just wait till I get an amp! At the moment it’s all through headphones.

  4. Hi

    Could you tell me what a multi effects pedal is?
    I would like to add it to my cello to !

  5. A multi effects pedal is usually used with a guitar. It alters the sound to add a bunch of effects like distortion, echo, wah wah etcetera.

    I got a cheap digitech RP80 for $150. Oh and before you get an effects pedal, you’ll need a pickup so you can plug it in! Microphones don’t work too well with effects.

  6. Hi,

    What type of pickup do i need?
    I have no clue how to go about doing this.

  7. Any piezo pickup designed for a cello should do. I bought the realist pickup but should have gone with something cheaper, I don’t think it matters too much if you are using heavy effects.

    Also watch this great round up of different ways to amplify a cello.

  8. Just when you thought the cello couldn’t rock any harder.

  9. If you get a amp daniel.. you will be playing with a foot shoved through you chello strings… : ) The amp looks nice.. does not work very well.. !!
