Hehe… well, it looks like Michael Leonhart has done it again––he’s produced yet another refreshingly avant-garde video demo for Electro-Harmonix, this time showing off the company’s newly re-imagined Stereo Electric Mistress. As with Leonhart’s earlier video demos, you’ll probably either love this one or hate it, but either way you have to admit the guy is [...]
