Hey ppl.

I wondered if anyone knows what type of equipment you need to make your guitar sound like other instruments.

I saw a Bill Bailey DVD (english stand-up comedian, hilarious by the way) called 'Part Troll' and he had an acoustic guitar which he played, but with the use of various footswitched etc he could make it sound like a banjo or pan pipes and overlay strings on top of his acoustic guitar sound.

I'm assuming it was some sort of midi pickup run through a hideously expensive setup, but if anyone knows of equipment which is dedicated to this purpose would be much appreciated. :D:D:D

I just joined the forum by the way, so Hi. :-)
