I used a real potato to turn my electric guitar into a microphone and it really records music! 🥔+🎸=🎵

I have also done some preliminary tests using an onion instead of a potato and it shows great promise. Because the onion (unlike the potato) consists of concentric rings, it is possible to stab it just the right way with 1/4" instrument cables such that the tips occupy the same ring and conduct along that ring selectively. The membrane that exists within the interstitial space between onion rings acts somewhat like an insulator such that the sleeve(s) of the cable are able to ground together without interrupting the signal of the tip as much as the potato.

Future recordings using 3 electric guitars as a microphone will incorporate both the potato for its natural distortion and amplification qualities, as well as the onion for its tonal quality.

And I do love good quality onion rings...
