uk_lefty Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I am certain that just over 20yrs ago in my local music shop I saw a pedal that made a hand clap noise. I'm sure of it... Can't find anything online. In some of the covers I'm doing it would be "handy" to have a hand clap noise that we can bring in and out, I remembered this pedal but just can't find one anywhere. Am I just making this up? 1 Quote
Skybone Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 That takes me back... those "Hand Clap" pedals where everywhere in the late 80's, then they just seemed to disappear. Quite who bought them was beyond me at the time. Quote

uk_lefty Posted July 28, 2021 Author Posted July 28, 2021 The drummer in my 80s band, where this would be most use, is working in incorporating an electronic kit in to his acoustic kit... Hoping he can find a hand clap sound in that. Or hoping some cheap pedal make like Donner can do something! Quote

Delptronics appear to be currently making one- https://delptronics.com/thunderclap.php Honestly, if I saw that before this thread, I'd have thought someone was taking the mick out of my band's level of support. 1 Quote

Downunderwonder Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Got a spare mic channel? Rig up a couple of thin boards and bungee cord under a steel washtub and mic it. I call it The Claptastic. 1 Quote
