Summary/Abstract: The article reviews Jean Baudrillard’s concept of simulacrum and puts it in dialogue with the evolution of signal processing technologies for electric guitar, introducing the concept of metasimulacrum—a simulacrum of a simulacrum—to describe the historical trajectory from early electric guitar amplification to recent advances in digital signal processing, taking a critical stance on technological determinism.
