It’s not everyday that you get to say that but here’s something quite unique: Ferrous is a small gadget that can transform how your steel stringed instruments sound. It uses a spinning disc with six powerful magnets to make strings vibrate and resonate in interesting ways. You can control the speed of the spin, which changes the sound produced. Slow spins make lower strings resonate more, while fast spins highlight higher strings.

You can use Ferrous with instruments like guitars, pianos, and even banjos. The device offers several control methods, including a thumbwheel and a touch-plate, making it easy and fun to experiment with. It’s also quite lightweight and small.

When you hold Ferrous close to the strings, it creates a variety of effects from soft strumming to complex harmonic overtones. You can get sounds ranging from gentle sine waves to intense feedback tones.

Ferrous is great for anyone looking to explore new soundscapes with their steel stringed instruments. Its combination of magnetic resonance and adjustable controls opens up a new expanded world for your stringed companions.
