ADDAC006 Rotary Exciter Clamp — Magnetic String Exciter for Guitars
The ADDAC006 Rotary Exciter Clamp is a clever little device that makes guitar strings vibrate without anyone having to pluck them. It attaches directly to the guitar neck and uses a rotating magnetic field to excite the strings, producing sustained tones, drones and all sorts of interesting harmonics. Certainly an unconventional way of getting a guitar to play itself!
Inside is a brushless motor capable of 7,000 RPM, spinning two magnets with opposing poles. When the rotational speed matches the frequency or harmonics of a string, it begins to resonate. The SPEED knob lets you change the motor speed, while adjusting the distance to the strings or changing their tuning produces different results. You can let the strings develop a sustained drone and play melodies over it, or slowly turn the knob to bring different resonances in and out.
The clamp fits guitar necks up to 60 mm wide and runs from a standard 9V guitar pedal power supply. There's even a five-metre extension cable included, so you can power it from your pedalboard. All in all, this is a lovely little invention for finding new ways to interact with your guitar.
