What is an Ellis Stompbox?
The Ellis Stomp Box is a hand crafted amplified solid timber box which you tap with your foot to provide a rhythm to accompany your stringed instrument playing both in the Studio and in a live situation. Stomp Boxes are popular with multi-instrumentalists such as John Butler Trio, Xavier Rudd and Harry Manx.

"A small wooden structure with a pick up inside, so guitarists can tap their feet to produce a booming percussion sound - like amplifying the sound of your foot tapping on a wooden stage. Built by West Australian luthier Andrew Ellis, these boxes look fantastic and are all handmade to last. Different sounds can be produced depending on what part of the box you tap, and different-soled shoes will affect tonal output too, making the Ellis Stompbox a very cool little rhythm companion".
"Hot Gear", page 16-17, Australian Guitar

"Sending a signal from the Stomp Box is easy enough : one jack, no controls; in terms of maintenance and so forth, there's very little to do. So, just how good can a wood block sound, if a wood block can sound good? Ellis recommends hooking it's Stomp box up to a bass amp, or in the case of a PA, using EQ to take the highs and mids down. The emphasis is on a woody bass 'thunk', then - deep and surprisingly resonant. As our photographer put it, it's a portable amplified floor. Rather than stamping on the thing though, Ellis suggests tapping your foot on the edges and corners. Indeed, applying a little restraint to your stomps is not only of course easier to control, but yields a better sound, giving each tap some room to 'breathe' without a heavy boot thudding down and stopping vibration".
