No this is not a guitar pedal, different type of stompbox. This one's a small wooden structure with a pickup inside, so guitarists can tap their feet to produce a booming percussion sound, like amplifying the sound of your foot tapping on a wooden stage. Built by West Australian luthier Andrew Ellis, these boxes look fantastic and are all handmade to last. Available in a range of attractive woods, and housing a top quality guitar pickup, this is a very well built device. It should be noted that the tonal differences in the wood at this size is negligible, so feel free to let aesthetics guide your decision. Different sounds can be produced depending on what part of the box you tap, and different soled shoes will affect tonal output too, making the Ellis Stompbox a very cool little rhythm companion.
