home made effects

do you guys have any home made effects? for example theres a billy idol song where the guitarist pulls out a toy gun that makes different noises and holds it up to his pickups for the sound effect, on formulas... trey said he put a fan between his cab and speaker and it gave his guitar a "quivering" effect. have any of you guys come up with anything effects like these?

That reminds me of something that happened to me.
I was plugging my playstation into a crappy 13'' TV. The AV jacks were fucked up to it was really hard to get the picture and sound in. If it wasnt in right, the tv would make some really fucked up noise. I was listening to it, trying to make it out and the tv was playing a fucking Creed song. 'Take me higher' I think the name was. My tv was picking up some radio station but it was all distorted so it sounded fucked up. It was pretty cool.
I have no idea how that was relevent but whatever..

ive uses a remote control and tapped the fretboard for a really cool solo.

Cell phones work good too... kinda make you wonder how powerful of raido waves those bastards send out.

HAHA!
I remember when I first started playing guitar, when my amp started picking up radio stations.. I forgot to turn the amp off when I went to bed. I woke up and I heard voices. It scared the shit out of me.

listen to the intro of the song "the moor" by Opeth. The begining sounds are made on an e-bow. Also, it can make your guitar sound like a violin.

i have a cool violin like delay in my shitty ass zoom 707.

I messed around with it a bit and managed to incoporate it into some songs and it sounds very similar to a violin.

makes sense, i think e-bow stands for electric bow..... i could be mistaken, but it's the most logical thing i can think of...

E=bow actually stands for energy bow, but its all good. I have one and they are cool as hell! It makes an electro magnetic field between the space where you play it on your strings and it vibrates the sting. It has infinate sustain and depending how you put the tone and volume knobs, it can sound liek diffent instruments like a violin, wood flute, cello, and a bunch of others. I like it because when you hold it right over the magnet in your pickups it makes the note go REAL high and so you can use your emotions when you play it. Though I think its awesome, it takes some practice and it is not the best thing to get if you only want to play metal. Definate for uses for Prog. though....

two, because a second one would come in handy.... i'd only use one at a time, but the other could be a backup or something.... it's like a big battery powered pick ... and you can never have to many picks.
