Hi Bill great video’s! Thanks for always pushing the envelop. My name is Jason Melani. I am a co-founder of a company called Marcodi Musical Products. Marcodi has invented a new instrument called the harpejji. One would pronounce is har-peh-jee. Your can see our product here http://www.marcodi.com
The harpejji is a stringed instrument primarily for keyboardist’s who want to have access and control of real strings. Recently I have been exploring the many sounds of the harpejji through effects pedals. So naturally when I saw this video I was excited. The harpejji utilizes piezo pick ups so it has a different sound than a guitar but it still has the desirable real string sound.

The purpose of my message is to ask your recommendation of pedals. I know that you have never played a harpejji but maybe through your experimentation you can guide me to the correct result. The harpejji is played by striking the string to the fret or “tapping”. Its the same technique used in your video. I want to get a more “bell-like” sound out of the harpejji. Ultimately I am thinking of a Fender Rhodes sound. More accurately the Fender Rhodes sound that is one the first Mute Math album. Its very clear and pristine. I have a reverb pedal and compressor. For starters I was thinking that the RIng Thing will do the trick. Any other pedal suggestions or should I stick to the set up that you indicate on this forum?
