Coolest sound it is possible to out of a guitar?
MarkTBSc:
You're not being stupid, most people have never heard of Arc based sound or Plasma Speakers. What it comes down to is that sound is generated in a loudspeaker by a paper cone being pushed back and forth. That's great for low frequencies but is poor at higher ones. The Arc Speaker or the Tesla Coil use the electrical signal from the guitar pickups to modulate the voltage in the arc. That makes the volume of the arc pulse and drives the air, creating sound. Ordinary speakers drop off at higher frequencies around 14Khz... I think... But the arc is theoretically capable of producing frequencies over 100Khz. There are very very few plasma tweeters available in the world. They use high voltages, high temperatures and produce nitrogen dioxide and ozone so they're mostly restricted to DIYers.
You'd just plug your guitar into a custom amp that fed through a massive transformer and bingo.

MASSIVE BUMPING TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS AS TRUE TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN
BlahBlah:
Yep!
The Weld video was on TV last night. I fucking love Neil Young. What also stands out about him is that he only uses one guitar for the whole show, everyone else now seems to be switching guitars for every song.

The perfect sound you can make on a guitar is a D7
I can't believe we're even talking about this.

Uhm.. 2:12-3:20
But I guess that's blasphemy.
