It'd be most fun with an effects weirdo, like Reeves Gabriel or Joe Walsh (...but especially Eno!)
Big Reeves fan here, love what he does to his own pedals — blow-torching knobs and paint and other deconstructionist ideas...
Eno & ChuckDBones together in a room designing a pedal... that'd be somethin' special. I was just listening to Music For Airports again, last night, after maybe a decade or so...
I'm surprised Tom Scholz hasn't been mentioned yet.
Another guy I'd REALLY like to hang with and build something is
Billy Zoom — it'd likely be more of an amp, maybe a tube-based pedal...
I've always liked Elliot Easton's signature Gretsch — he put a lot of thought into it, way beyond colour choice and whether it has a Bigsby or not. His signature axe was an effort to fundamentally improve with the original design of the guitar. So add Mr Easton to my growing list of celeb collabs.
If we can recall people from beyond the Grave, my ALL TIME FAVOURITE GUY FOR GEAR INNOVATION ...
Lester William Polsfuss
— he gave us multi-track recording ... the entire recording industry is indebted to him. I think those contributions are more important than the Log...
Love Les' music, playing, and humour too.
Gonna hafta get out the ouija board for that collaboration.
