One would think the Ghost would also work on the pickup end. Has anyone tried this?

I was actually thinking I'd try just that this weekend.

If anyone wants to try building a keg-verb, I would be happy to help empty its original contents.

I'd rather drill a small hole and put a mic in that keg bottom. Put a small speaker through the tap part. Get some nice brash metally ringing.

What about putting a float in it with the receiver/transducer in the float?

i would like to know a good way to do this, because I've had a keg in the back yard for YEARS (3). What can I say, I'm a retarded college student

i'm going to try this, but i'm going to use a 30 gallon drum (does that equal twice the verb???? :shock: and a put an omni mic through the bung hole (swear to god that's what it is called) and than have a speaker setting on top of the barrel, firing the sound in to it.

i hope it sounds cool. if not, i'm not out anything.

another metal guitar tip is to put a fan in front of you while you play, so it blows your stupid long hair around like the solo is BLOWING YOU AWAY because you're a fucking tool.
