I've only used the latest Electribe Sampler so not sure about the others but you can run your guitar through this one, but you may need to run the guitar into a preamp or a DI box first. I run my guitar into a Vox Tonelab pedal then run the headphone out from the pedal into the audio in on the Electribe. It sounds great. I especially like the high pass delay, as this will add delay only to the upper frequencies of your guitar signal, so you can have a nice delay without the bottom end muddying up.

However, if you're only looking to get some FX on your guitar then you'd be better off buying a decent pedal board IMO, as those will be geared specifically for guitar. An electribe may be overkill if you don't plan on using the other features on it.

Ahh ok ,
i am planning on developing it a bit further and attempting to make some tunes but wanted an easy start and since i know what i'm doing on the guitar i thought this might be a good route into it

You would need a preamp or guitar fx with hi-z (guitar)input with any of the electribes, I think.
Nothing to stop you combining said guitar fx into electribe inputs.
I have an er-1. It's a lovely electronic drum machine and with a guitar getting gated and/or ring modulated delayed through its inputs it would sound fantastic.
Many tracks could be knocked out like this with spacey psychedelic potential. Maybe add bass later.
You can make sound scapes with the er-1 and something through its inputs (like guitar).

If you get one of the electribe samplers you could always record your guitar and import your recordings as samples before applying the FX etc. You could also chop up your recordings and rearrange them to develop new guitar lines or riffs. I do this all the time and get some interesting results that I would never have come up with on a guitar alone.

ok thanks

so i'm considering the options at the moment. This may sound like a silly question but, can i use the electribe er-1 or es-1 without a computer ADW?

I do currently have FL but am in the process of getting a better spec computer and this might be a while before i can afford it and put it all together ?

another silly question for ya's

i can record audio input directly on the er-1 right (naturally, including the pre-amp for the guitar)??

Hell no, it has no ability to sample/record anything. You just run the sound THROUGH it like a pre-amp or pedal, then run the Electribe to your recording device

Well You'll need a mixer as the electribes typically have an audio in, that is mainly so you can run it through a gate that will have it clip within time which would be like a tremlo set to the tempo. Good idea actually but run it through effects first. But it sounds like you need a mixer and run your guitar through a separate channel.
