It looks like it would either electrocute me or drive me insane.I love Rock Band and I love circuit-bent electronics, but I never imagined the two would ever converge. Well, apparently my imagination just sucks, because a mad scientist by the name of Aj Gannon has smooshed a Speak 'N' Spell and a Rock Band guitar into a terrifying monster he has dubbed the Speak 'n Spellbinder. It may no longer function as either a Speak 'N' Spell or a Rock Band guitar, but it is best-in-class at making terrifying electronic noises. Seriously, the goddamn thing sounds possessed. Perhaps best of all is that, according to circuit-bending site GetLoFi, Gannon built the Speak 'n Spellbinder specifically for his upcoming album, which will “blend Ukulele and Kazoo with lots of circuit bent toys.” That doesn't sound like something I could actually listen to for more than maybe 45 seconds, but in concept I love it. Also, second ukulele reference of the day. Weird.

His name is Gannon (which is only one n away from the lord of evil). That instrument is enhanced by the Triforce of Power to do his evil bidding (make our ears bleed)
This guy has way too much time on his hands to morph those two things into one. Also, the controller looks more like a Guitar Hero controller, not a Rock Band one.
I hope he enjoyed making that because I don't see a use for it, appart from maybe making people think that he's crazy?. Jamming is out for a start, I mean who wants that thing in the band with the flashing lights, and the o so smoothe sounding sounds. I guess theres just not much work for David Cross look a likes these days.
