Anyone have any suggestions for how you might make your guitar approximate the sound of a Fender Rhodes? Cheers.

Wasn't there an EHX Effectology video that covered this...?

If you can do this, then run it through some nasty as fuzz and get a One Day as a Lion sound:

I like One Day As A Lion so much. And I have
always hated Rage Against The Machine.

Yea, one of the easiest for any of the guitar synths to hit.
Anything vaguely modern should get you in the ballpark. GR-20, GR-30/33 will do well, 55 is overkill for just that.
The thing is that the 20/30/33 package with a used pickup may well be cheaper than the EH Microsynth etc plus the wall of other stuff.

I got tired of trying that so I got a Nord. But good luck yo.
I made my Fender Telecaster really piano-sounding through my Twin, cranking the mix on my RRR and using a subtle slapback on the Strymon El Cap... Then doubling it with a piano. But Fender Rhodes? Beats me.

I found some weird warm vibrate-y Rhodes-ish kinda tones in my TAFM the other night. I had the Input and Fuzz rolled back a bit and was then just tweaking on the Shape control with the fuzz volume relatively low. Got all big and warm and thick and did that awesome beating thing with two or more notes played through it.
