This is probably a dumb question but I am new to the guitar (about a year in to my learnings with a teacher).
I have some pedals but I want to branch out into getting a synth as well to experiment with the sound.
Does there exist a device that I can plug in to my pedal chain so I can drive it with my guitar AND play it on it’s own to create sounds? Also hoping synths have a drum machine because I would like to play with a beat.
I know pedal synths exist but that isn’t really what I am looking for, want a synth on its own that I could also use with the guitar but not only with the guitar if that makes sense.
Am I thinking about this wrong? Does this mythical device exist? If not anyone have some relatively entry level devices I can look at?
Not something I’ve ever looked into, but I recall that Roland made a unit that was basically a special pickup that would provide pitch information to a separate synth. At lest I think it was Roland. I’d search for something like that. I’ve seen them, they’re little black pickups usually placed right next to the bridge I think, and clearly on top of the scratch guard.
