AUSTRALIAN GUITAR
ELLIS STOMPBOX - 2006 Scroll down for Text Version
No this is not a guitar pedal, different type of stompbox. This one's a small wooden structure
with a pickup inside, so guitarists can tap their feet to produce a booming percussion sound,
like amplifying the sound of your foot tapping on a wooden stage. Built by West Australian luthier
Andrew Ellis, these boxes look fantastic and are all handmade to last. Available in a range of
attractive woods, and housing a top quality guitar pickup, this is a very well built device.
It should be noted that the tonal differences in the wood at this size is negligible, so feel
free to let aesthetics guide your decision. Different sounds can be produced depending on what
part of the box you tap, and different soled shoes will affect tonal output too, making the Ellis
Stompbox a very cool little rhythm companion.
