Thingamagoop 2

[brewjake]

If u take this and throw it on autotune u get Ke$ha!

[zwerty007]

@brewjake No you don't. This thing is way cooler than that.

[Zedzilla]

wait, so does it work similar to a theremin? i.e. hand distance? also, do you select whether to modulate from light source/hand distance/both?

[coldplayfanatic683]

can you hook a guitar up too that?

[TheNewcastlePilot]

hmmm anyway to route a guitar sound into that?? I have a fuzz factory at the moment just looking for more interesting sounds

[thomasbradleyh]

Just looks like a stupid theremin.

[TheRealUncleChicken]

I'm not a violent person but if anyone came near me with one of those things there would be murders. Any idiot with an intermediate knowledge of electronics could make their own; just some moron built it first and decided to market the annoying piece of crap.

[zwerty007]

@TheRealUncleChicken Let's see your new homemade synthesizer that can do a similar thing to what this can do then. And no just getting the schematics and copying them, either.

[xaccrocheur]

I think this is wicked. You guys are soo blasé. You don't see greatness when it explodes in your face. This thing is just a great performance tool. I'd sure like to have one.

[guitar4evr24]

can u only get them of the website???

[SkullyBoom]

THey sell them at some retailers too... Delicious Drips store, Robotspeak in SF, and several more.

[guitar4evr24]

stupid question. u can hook it up 2 a guitar cant u and get these noises??? or..

[f1sk8mm]

I don't think so, I ordered one from the website and I believe the new ones are only on the website right now, but big city music and analogue haven usually has them,

I think it only has an out put, but I plan on running it through some of my guitar effects

[Lachlant1984]

My parents bought me one of these things for Christmas, i got it today. To be honest, although it's fun to have a toy that makes all sorts of fucked up noises, i'm just not sure how much I like this thing, I'm guessing this is because I hate circuit Bending. It's an interesting device, but I'm not sold on it.

[ISOTROPOSPHERE]

I just got notification that my pre-order TGP 2 has shipped and it's on it's way to mi casa. Modular synths make lots-o-noise as well and are pretty expensive, but the World is a better place with them in it, just like this little guy.

[LIGHTRONIX]

what's so cool about this? It's a super annoying noisemaker that has little musical potential. I mean im all into the F'd up electronic music genres but i mean really you dont need to order an expensive noisemaker to get that kind of sound. Idk dont even know why im sitting here bashing this thing lol who cares if you think its go for it dude it could do some cool live stuff, but if me, i wouldnt buy this.

[Napalmdog]

Lead guitar by itself is annoying too. It obviously has it's place, but isn't enjoyable at all when that's all I hear when I walk into Guitar Center. But, as we all know, the lead guitar is an essential part of rock. This thing is fun, different, is tactile and creates a rhythm. Want!

[exalite]

lead guitar by itself is annoying? u kiddin? lol. this thing is pretty fuckin annoying after a couple minutes, but that doesnt mean it isnt absolutely amazing. :p

[Napalmdog]

Well, yeah. I've been playing guitar for something on the lines of 25 years and trust me I know; Lead guitar by itself sucks balls.

This video was created to demonstrate a product. Put in context of music, you get things like Mr Bungle, Polysics, etc.

[f1sk8mm]

haha, yeah that does crack me up, I think people just roll in there to get their shred on in public, i avoid GC at all costs, unless i absolutely need strings or something and can't wait for them to be shipped to me

[Lachlant1984]

I agree fully with you, but here's the irony, I now have a Thingamagoop 2, my parents gave me one for Christmas, I'm playing with it now and have been playing with it for the past hour or so, I kind of like it, but I personally would have prefered a JB Hi Fi gift card so I could buy more CD's.

[MiViska]

I preordered one. fuck yeah.

[demonfarm]

MUST HAVE NOW!!!
