FireOpal Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That's awesome. But I couldn't imagine trying to play one of those in my condo -- it would alarm the heck out of the neighbors, and send all dogs in the vicinity into a frenzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a movie about the theremin. called theremin...Iuse to see it sometimes on my cable guid either on IFC/Sundance... it tells the story about the man who invented the theremin (narrarated by his Grandaughter/ I believe)....

theremin Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 i bought one a while ago from australia for $100 and i had to put it together. if you know what you're doing and you put it together correctly, it turns out perfect. i still use mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainsong07 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 So when jimmy used the theremin did he runit through his Marshall's or its own set of speakers, such as the PA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic_juice Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 So when jimmy used the theremin did he runit through his Marshall's or its own set of speakers, such as the PA? i believe he ran the theremin through an Orange halfstack ... not sure of the model though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter19877 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah he ran it through the orange and used a tape delay, and also massive distorion. without distorion it sounds completely different, i know i have one lol. 1977 was the best year for his Theremin use! I always loved how he used that tape delay on it and made it delay on and on and he would wave his arms. really cool. actually inspired me to buy my own, Cost me 100 bucks! but i cant find an old tape delay. well actually i did but it cost WAY too much for me lol So i run it through my protools with a lot of delay to ge tthe sound like jimmy here is my littl version of my playing my guitar with a bow and the theremin in the backround. Yes i love jimmy, He inspired me to try all of these things my self as i am a guitarist My Theremin and Bowed Guitar Exoerience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the exact same one (bought off ebay?) left it at my neighbors house and forgot about it, he moved away a couple years ago lol. I used to run it through a Boss DD-6 Digital Delay pedal, sounded badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the exact same one (bought off ebay?) left it at my neighbors house and forgot about it, he moved away a couple years ago lol. I used to run it through a Boss DD-6 Digital Delay pedal, sounded badass. The DD6...was that the old blue and white pedal, I had that one and the old BOSS non-digital delay pedal (the purple one). Somewhere around here I still have my battered old DF2 distortion/feedback pedal, best distortion pedal I've ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fun one to play around with, you can really get some crazy sounds with the 'Warp' mode. At around 0:53 and 2:14 you can hear some Jimmy-esque stuff in the first vid.
