What guitar effects pedals do I use to make my electric violin sound like an electric guitar?
I’m wanting to find a effects pedal that will make my electric violin sound like an electric guitar, sounding like for example Ozzy, System of a down ect… Also I’m hoping to find this at a good price.

Distortion. You might want to try then all out, because i don really know which one would fit a violin. I recommend BOSS ds-1, or an MXR distortion.
PS: for the guy above, there is a way to make your guitar sound like a violin, its called Ebow, the coolest thing on earth for violin sounds, and eternal sustain

What is the difference between a electric violin and a regular violin???
Im thinking about getting a violin and i heard there is such thing as a electric one which I never heard of. So whats the difference and which is better sounding
AnswerBot answers:
I would get an acoustic before you try the electric one.
I play violin and I prefer acoustic.
But it really only matters what you like best.
Check around at stores for electric ones [you may need to find an amplifier as well] and for acoustic ones [wooden]
Electric also is a lot lighter than the acoustic ones I found. The first time I played one I was suprised. They aren’t hollow, they have [steel?] bars in the shape of a regular violin, and they still have a solid fingerboard.
It’s really up to you and what you prefer. [Sound is different for all violins...and it depends on your tone.]

Is it bad to buy an electric violin that costs less than my acoustic?
Ok, so i have an acoustic violin that was like $600 and i want to get an electric violin. One of the local stores has a Fender in stock but its only $500. Should i buy it even though its less $ than my acoustic?
AnswerBot answers:
It really depends on if that’s what you want. Electric violins can range anywhere from $30 to thousands of dollars. For any musician, there are so many factors involved in choosing the right instrument, even aside from cost. If you like the way it sounds, then go for it.

What is the best place to buy an electric violin with an amp?
I want to buy an electric violin with an amp for about 75 or 85 bucks. What STORE can I get one at. I will not order one.
AnswerBot answers:
Have you tried a pawn shop? They usually have instruments and instrumental equipment there. I can’t suggest a local music store because I don’t know where you live. But, even if you do find one at a pawn shop, I’m sure it’ll be more than $75-$85! Good luck to you 
Sharon asks…

Here is a music video of the sound of an electric violin sound. I hope you don’t mind 80′s music. It is the first song that came to mind that had this sound.
