So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

@AceArsenault fantastic. Mind-blowing. Just wow. What an idea & what a sound!!!!

@fat_old_anarchist Thank you for the kind words. : ]

I'm a big fan of vintage electronic analog sounds.

Doesn't get much more analog then vacuum tubes!

@AceArsenault I've got analogue guitar combo - there's nothing better than tubes' sound !

@fat_old_anarchist I agree!

I'm a tube fan myself.
When I play guitar it's always thru a nice tube amp. When I have to Direct In, I try to use a tube preamp, Like a 12AX7 to get that drive and saturation. : ]

@AceArsenault this is the one I use - I love its full tone...
@fat_old_anarchist Nice! : D looks like a great amp. Bet it sounds great too.
@AceArsenault it does. Neighbours beg to differ, though... :-D

@fat_old_anarchist *lol*!!!

I'm lucky my neighbours are far away. ; ]
