guitar wanker - one who plays electric guitar in a loud, busy, uninspired manner
How good are you on guitar? Can you really play that raging guitar solo that expresses exactly how you feel? Wank Caller is a guitar pedal that contains an embedded cell phone. Stomp on the footswitch and a phone call will be made. When the call is answered, the only way you’ll have to communicate with the person you called is by playing your guitar. You will hear the other side’s voice, but all they will hear is your smoking guitar solo. Play it, don’t say it–because you can’t say it, this is Wank Calling.
Circuit Diagram
Components
- Adafruit FONA
- SMA cell antenna
- Lithium polymer 3.7V battery
- SIM card with active 2G voice service
- Stompbox enclosure
- 2 mono phone jacks
- DPDT footswitch
- Arduino Uno (or similar microprocessor with digital I/O pins and UART)
- hookup wire
- small solderless breadboard
Warning
Obviously, don’t wank call people who won’t appreciate your smokin’ licks. You are ultimately responsible for the crowd of angry fans that will drag your ass offstage when your solo is too loud and doesn’t really deliver the goods.Notes
There is no reason why you can’t plug a keyboard into the Wank Caller. Indeed.You could build this project with other microprocessor based cell phone modules (e.g. Arduino GSM Shield), or even something fancy-pants like Asterisk/VoIP. All I ask is that you record your wank calls and share them with the world.
