    Thanks, that was cool!

    I know this guitar player/sound man cat, and he told me that back in the sixties when the rock guys wanted a "fuzz" sound before pedal effects were available, the guys would take a razor blades and make cuts in the speakers of their amps... obviously, the cuts had to radiate out from the center like little sunrays or else the whole cone would've fallen apart.

    So now I'm thinking of cutting up my resonator cone in a similar manner, but I guess I should really wait until I've purchased a second cone just in case this idea is a big flop...

    But I'm definitely going to try combining the cone cuts with Martin Taylor's cardboard idea...

    mwaddell,
    Thanks for posting that! Very cool. If I had heard that without knowing how it was done, I would have sworn there was a steel drum in there (Martin Taylor is the shit!)
