featuring an Oberheim SEM and a pair of ultra-funkay (obligatory) platform shoes.
Must have been a real challenge to work the pedals with those bricks on your feet.
Enjoy

The opening downward riff reminds me of the middle rockin' part of Spinal Tap's "America".

Hello,
Lee Ritenour used the 360 Systems PGS on his 77, "Captain Fingers" release. Title track:
Lee Ritenour - "Captain Fingers" 1977
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTDZMEb2EeE&fmt=18
Timo Laine also used it with Symphonic Slam on their 76 release:
Symphonic Slam - "Universe" 1976
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIYPHh6GENQ&fmt=18
Symphonic Slam - "Let It Grow" 1976
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrwXgJ97 ... ted&fmt=18
The 360 sounded pretty much identical to the SEM-based poly units.
Regards,
-L

While on the subject of guitar synths...
Timo Laine's "Symphonic Slam" is said to be the first true album to be based on guitar synthesizer.
However, an even earlier album featuring some use of guitar synth is "Inner Worlds" with Mahavishnu Orchestra/John McLaughlin.
On this album--recorded July/August 1975--McLaughlin was playing a modified Gibson with a hex pickup going through a 360 Systems converter and six Minimoogs!
MCLAUGHLIN: "I began experimenting with guitar synths back in 1974. Bob Easton at 360 Systems came up with a rig that used his interface first with an EMU module, and then with a separate Mini-Moog for each string, which was like driving an eight-wheel truck. I was always saying, “Ladies and gentlemen why don’t you chat amongst yourselves while I tune up my instrument.” It was kind of a joke, and after one major tour I gave it up. So, the problem was that the technology wasn’t very good in the early days. For example, the latency was terrible. I mean it was like 50ms on the low strings! But you’ve got to go with what you have, and that was the best technology available at the time."

Before the MOOG guitar
Anybody know of a stomp box or processor that can make my guitar sound like a Moog synth or a clavichord?
I'm going for the Stevie Wonder "Superstition" type sound. Maybe an auto-wah that has a reverse, or something like that. Help!

An MF-107 FreqBox into an MF-101 LowPass Filter could approximate that sound.
And it would genuinely be a *real* synthesizer.

"Superstition" is a straight clav and doesn't use any auto-wah.
Are you sure you aren't referring to this?:
Stevie Wonder - "Higher Ground"

yeah if the Moog guitar was even close to being a 360 systems guitar, I would buy it in a heartbeat (that and if it wasn't overpriced to all hell.)
The Moog guitar just uses ebow type technology built into the guitar. Very cool, but its not an analog synth guitar, its just a wacky guitar.
