My theremin arrived today

You know the rule. Where are the pictures?

That's hot!!!!

Also, go see Fishbone live. Sometimes Angelo busts out the theremin and it's freaking hot.

Von Buck, I'll try that, it's a bit sketchy for live shows, though. I could just see the front man's face if the cord got knocked off (re-activating the insanity) in the middle of a song. I'd like to have a pedal that would activate or kill it.

When I play theremin and bass at a gig, i run the theremin through an A/B box and just stomp on the box to shut the signal off.

That's exactly the same model I have. My only complaints with playing with it live is that there really is no on and off switch. You literally have to pull the chord out of it to stop it from working. I was looking to use it in during really spaced out sections where I drop the bass and start playing it, but without an easy way to turn it on and off it kind of fails me live. I suppose I could get a stomp switch of some kind, but I'm more or less leaning towards getting a better theramin like the Moog. I run mine through a BOSS DD3 delay. The flange is a great idea. Have fun with it.

you wouldn't think to have just a powerstrip designated to the thing so you can stick your foot on it to shut it on and off?

If you plug the Theremin into a BOSS TU-2, and hit it on, it turns the signal off past it, and you can use it to get your hand into position and see the actual note(s) you are playing so when you hit the pedal again, you can start in pitch to the performance.

The theremin needs a warm up time before you can plkay it properly. If you keep shutting it off and on, it will never stabilize

Yep.

 

[Quadruple Jay]

Volume pedal! Imagine some sick volume swells on the theremin...

Where'd the name come from?

Where'd the name come from?

It was the name of the inventor's gerbil.

Go Celtics!!!

The inventor's name : Leon Theremin a Russian inventor.

I only know this because I thought it was invented by Mr. Moog, and was misinformed.

In Russia, Theremin plays YOU!
