For those of you looking for new ways to experiment with your sound, check out Flytrap Gear’s Dragonfly. The Dragonfly is an all-analog effects pedal with an eco-friendly twist: it’s made from 80% recycled computer components. It’s also energy-conscious, requiring little power to run and featuring a rechargeable 9-volt battery.

The Dragonfly’s creator got the idea while looking to enhance his own computer-based music:

“I thought, ‘How can I process my sound while staying true to making music with old computers? I know, I’ll make effects *out* of old computers!’  I looked through the guts of an old computer…and decided that it would be sacrificed to the Gods of Rock!”

Just connect the pedal to your guitar, synthesizer, computer, or any other music or recording gear for some extra crunch or sizzle. Intrigued? Hear the Dragonfly in action for yourself.

Not content to simply promote its own green gadgets, Flytrap Gear hopes to inspire other would-be innovators to turn computer trash into treasure by hosting a clearinghouse of information about computer components and circuit designs. Eventually, the website will include resources to help builders market and sell their creations as well.
