Gizmotron Mechanical Bowing Device For Guitar and Bass
Used for “In the Evening”, as reported in this March 2014 Vintage Guitar article. It can also be heard on “Carouselambra”.
Led Zeppelin’s final studio album, 1979’s In Through The Out Door, opens with an eerie, otherworldly drone that weaves and winds its way before segueing into the searing Stratocaster riffs of “In The Evening.” In the past, Jimmy Page played his Les Paul with a violin bow and waved his hands like a wizard over a Theremin. This sound was something new, however – something even more extraordinary.
That drone-like voice came thanks to a Gizmotron, a bizarre and complex mechanical guitar add-on that would make Reuben Goldberg choke with envy. Page explained that it was a “hurdy gurdy-type of thing,” which was astute as the effect worked similarly to the ancient musical instrument that created a violin-like sound with a hand-cranked wheel serving as a mechanical bow.
