Bill Ruppert’s Effectology videos never cease to blow my mind. In this episode Bill recreates the beginning of Pink Floyd’s classic “Welcome to the Machine”.

The geniuses over at Electro-Harmonix have started a new series on their blog called “Effectology” that display some of the amazing capabilities of the EHX effects when placed into the right hands. In their first installment Bill Ruppert managed to make an electric guitar sound like a blue harmonica using a HOG, Micro Synthesizer, Wiggler and a Holiest Grail.
