Guitar + Voice Box rendition of Beach Boys' "God Only Knows"
Video Link. YouTuber electricpony made this awesome video using a Stratocaster + Guyatone Micro Octaver + SRB808 Overdrive + EHX Voice Box (Shure SM57 Mic) + Epiphone Valve Junior. Here's more about the voice box gizmo, from Electro Harmonix -- who we've covered previously in a Boing Boing video episode. (thanks, Scott Matthews!)

one rarely sees such a good idea executed in such a juvenile, hamfisted way.

Reminds me of Neil Young's "Transformer Man".
Doubtless using different equipment it was so long ago, but it still shows you how for forward Neil was/is.
Regardless, it's impressive what that box can do in talented hands. Good stuff!
