  • John Cusack?

  • Ciao , ho acquistato ieri sto pedalino e devo dire che mi piace parecchio! volevo chiederti, durante il riff di Living on.. Usi solo i movimenti della bocca o emetti dei suoni?

  • hi, did you just plug the replacement mic in the same port at the back of the pedal with a 3.5mm adapter?

  • ciao, l'ho comprato oggi.... ma forse sbaglio qualcosa nei collegamenti.. anche se sembrano giusti... anzitutto il suono non mi esce dalla cassa, e facendo wah-wah con la bocca non cambia nulla... sento solo il suono che cambia dentro il tubo ma non dal pedale.. (il suono mi esce dal pedale).. tu gli hai cambiato il microfono giusto? grazie in anticipo!

  • @lorenzwinmx questo video è vecchio di 3 anni.. quel talkbox l'ho usato nemmeno una settimana :) Ho comprato quello orginale... ma è una palla da usare! a differenza di tutti gli altri effetti, è tra il finale (o testata) e la cassa (quindi uno vero strazio)... il microfono deve finire per forza nell'impianto voce! è un bell'effetto ma per farlo rendere bene in live ci vogliono molto accorgimenti!!!

  • @lorenzwinmx per farlo uscire dalla cassa devi collegarlo in send e return però usare solo il send, così ti esce il suono dalla cassa (senza effetto però...) e il suono effettato con la talkbox lo mandi ad un impianto voce. solo così funziona il danelectro purtroppo

  • hi man, why do you say it's a bad talkbox? im from argentina

  • I think a talk box helps make a good use of "guitar face".

  • does it come with the facial expressions??

  • ciao senti ma io che ho un ampli combo...come ca^^^ faccio??

    il 18 suono live e faccio bon jovi e devo riuscire a capire se posso fare determinati pezzi...ti lascio la mia mail così magari mi scrivi lì..

    grazie in anticipo

  • did you connect the mic in the free speech or in a pa system?

  • ajaja enter sandman is so bad with talk box

  • ciao...ho realizzato un talk box artigianale..nn essendo un esperto vorrei sapere dove colleghi il microfono..se hai un amplificatore a parte o usi quello della chitarra...

  • Cool Video! Talkboxe take a lot of practice for sure!! I have the Banshee....it's pretty cool. Check out my videos.

  • Hi there. Sounds good....but what is the casing made of?

    plastic or metal?

  • which microphone do you use? it's necessary a particular phone?

  • @stoppax ciao... è un microfono normale da voce... ma ti consiglio uno da strumenti (tipo l'SM57)

  • ok grazie mille, poi attacco l'entrata cannon del mic ad un ampli e l'uscita del talk box ad un altro giusto? sai dirmi il costo del mic?

  • @stoppax il talkbox, a differenza di tutti gli altri effetti, è tra il finale (o testata) e la cassa (quindi uno vero strazio)... il microfono deve finire per forza nell'impianto voce! è un bell'effetto ma per farlo rendere bene in live ci vogliono molto accorgimenti!!!

  • @sterindotit capito, cmq mi è appena arrivato, il suono del pedale è brutto, sto cercando un modo per farlo simile al tuo, però con pochi successi....:(

  • @sterindotit ciao vorrei comprarlo ho solo una cassa puo andare bene o serve testa cassa etc

  • cool

  • It'd probably help if you were using it right.

  • You think youre doing it the right way? you're supposed to put the tube in your mouth, dumbass, dont act like you know how to use it

  • Just replace de driver for a biguer one, its sound crapy becouse of that. but you need to put it out side, coz it will not fix inside.

  • ahaha liked the livin on a prayer....played it wrong....but pretty cool!

  • so you need another amp EVEN with THIS talk bow? someone explain that,pleasee!

  • @superdbzfan8311 no you do not need another amp. it plugs in and sets up like a regular pedal. and the mic plugs right into it.

    although i stress, that its near impossible to use live. i had to do some mods. run a mixer and a feedback elimantor into it, just to get it to a good level for playing. i plan on putting up a video soon of the talkbox setup and all the mods i had too do.

  • not bad, i say you should get the banshee, i have the banshee and it sounds great

  • I just ordered mine from guitar center, i was going to save more money and get the nicer one... but i have a whole PA system so i can use a "nice microphone" and hopefully it will sound like yours

  • so do you have that there mic plugged into the pedal?

  • I want to buy a talk box but it's too expansive, I wanted to know how you use this one with another microphone. Do you put the pedal between the head and the cab of your amp ? (as the dunlop ). My problem is that the litlle microphones aren't with XLR (sorry for my english).Can you help me ??

  • just take the little microphones off, and get an adaptor for your xlr mic so it plugs into your amp - this one is meant to have a little amplifier inside it so if you put it between the head and cab you will blow it up. You don'shouldn't really plug an mic into a guitar amp anyway, it's only really for recording.

  • @FlorianDhoudain no you do not need another amp. it plugs in and sets up like a regular pedal. and the mic plugs right into it.

    although i stress, that its near impossible to use live. i had to do some mods. run a mixer and a feedback elimantor into it, just to get it to a good level for playing. i plan on putting up a video soon of the talkbox setup and all the mods i had too do.

  • How do you use it with a different mic?

  • no you only need the hosepipe.. and the effect pedal

  • so can some1 tell me like wat i need 2 hook up a talk box, & umm how 2 do it lol?? Do i need a mic??

  • umm its bon jovi

  • Do you always need an extra mic with a talk box?

  • @allamericandude15 you do, because your guitar runs to an amp and then the output goes to the talkbox (or if you use pedals you can just plug the guitar straight into the talkbox, and then the only noise you get is out of the tube going into your mouth. so if you are at a show, no one will hear it, so the mic picks up the sound and amplifies it through a PA system or another amp.

  • Alright, thanks. That's kind of what I thought, I just didn't know for sure.

  • @allamericandude15 no problem

  • Great job!!!! I ordered a Rocktron Banshee 3 days ago, and it's getting here day after tomorrow!!!! (Well technically tomorrow cuz its 1:29 am)

  • hes giving head to a metal penis

  • that sucked big babby chunks

  • yeah talkboxes are hard to use, i just built one. i knew it wasn't just opening and closing your mouth, but i didn't think it would be as hard to use as it was, every little thing you do makes a difference

    great vid!

  • how did you make one?

  • watch mootbooxle's video, that was how i did it except i figured out don't use a powered speaker, instead put a headphone plug on the speaker wires and plug it into the external speaker jack on the guitar amp, it works way better. then turn down the low on your amp all the way, the mid halfway, and the high should be all the way up. the talkbox works better like that

  • I got screwed over by mootboxxle and his gheto talk box i spend alot more than he said and it didn't work

  • well i had the speakers and tape already and yeah it's not the greatest but you just gotta fiddle with it a little

  • Just stick at it, I built a ghetto one 2.5 years ago and sucked at first, couldnt imagine being half decent but now I'm pretty decent.

    It definetely takes a bit of time but it's worth it. funny watching your friends having a go and sounding like shit lol

  • thats pretty fucking awesome with the daft punk

  • i have the same one and how do u clip the tube to a mic

  • use Velcro strips, tie straps, or electrical tape . . . or any tape . . .

  • it comes with a mic mounter i think

  • just use tape

  • u spelled BON JOVI wrong (btw)

  • ok hi to everyone sounded just like daft punk but the around the world needs a lil improvement as the sounds arent closed there still open

  • umm i need help this has a lil to do with this vid cause its about the talkbox where do u plug in the built in mics anyways cause i cant figure it out

  • what mic do you have?

  • excellent, danelectro rules!!!

  • what size tube does the danelectro come with?

  • the bon jovi is awesome!

  • lefty player... nice!

  • Good post! Bon Jovi all the way!

  • that's so cool!:)

  • sweet haha. is that an ibanez? looks like it. ive got an ibanez and i love it haha

  • what is talk jam? who wrote it? i like it is there a tab for it?

  • is just him fucking around i think ?

  • no it's something he wrote..or he made it up on the spot

  • he starts playing living on a prayer in the middle

  • ur bon jovi is gooood

  • how do u plug in a different microphone???

  • does it really sound bad through amp

  • umm no because this was ment to plug into an amp its not a heil or a watever those 1s have 1 so u can plug ur guitar into ur amp and so u can plg it into a pa system but this 1 is unique because u can only plug it into an amp so im guessing it sounds good

  • kwl because we dont have a pa system yet but yea might use it with my amp and if it sounds good ill add a mic to it

  • k good i want a talkbox

  • same

  • lol i rely need 1 lol but i guess ill find a speaker and just make a ghetto 1

  • Don't, they can be kinda difficult if you aren't experienced, and even if you manage to succeed it sounds like crap.  It'll be good for maybe an afternoon's practice. My advice is to just be willing to shell out the 12o bucks for a Freespeech. I've got one, it doesn't sound terrible, and if you're young and don't play really professional gigs it'll do. It sounds good enough (just don't use the mics it comes with, use your own!)

  • how do u hook up a mic??

  • Plug it into a speaker.

  • Just like you'd plug in a guitar, amps have a jack which goes right into your amp.

  • i eman how do u add a microphone to the free speach

  • Did you even read some of my earlier comments?

    You don't "add" it. You just plug the guitar into the freespeech and stick the tube in your mouth. But the sound coming out of your mouth will be quiet, so you just "speak" (ie. bend the sound with your mouth) into a mic, like you would normally without the talkbox.

    Look at what the guy in this vid is doing.

    Guitar-->freespeech---->mouth

    If you want people to hear you, you put your mouth up to a mic.

    Read everything I've said next time.

  • i did but where do u plug a mic in??

  • -_-

    Do you actually know what you're doing?

    Just set the mic up like you would regularly.

  • The talkbox setup is an isolated unit. It ends at your mouth. But it will be quiet, so you have a mic set up in a regular manner, that you put your mouth up to. It's like singing, your voice can be hard to hear in big places, so you magnify it with a mic. Do the same thing with the talkbox.

    I would try to learn about how an amp speaker system works before I try for a ghetto talkbox though. Homebrew AV can be hard if you don't know what you're doing.

  • ok but where do u plug the microphone in when u wanna make it louder cause wit my ghetto i lug the gutiar into the input is there andy speaker that has a line in cable??

  • Dude, learn AV tech now. If you want to do this kind of stuff, then you need to know what you're doing, because not everyone is going to want to baby your through all this.

  • To create the setup that you want you need an amp for the mic alone. You probably have used one to make your ghetto, but you can't use that one for the mic now. You need to plug the mic into its own separate amp.

  • Do you have any AV type experience at all? Or is this a new world to you?

  • it aint new just i dont understand talkboxes and how to amplify them and make them loud

  • no i used a speaker

  • i understand that just where do u plug the mic so itll be louder

  • Do you know how a mic works?

    Plug it in to something! Anything! A guitar amp, a mic amp, whatever the hell you have that works. It doesn't connect to the talkbox. That's it. It goes to it's own separate amp. Plug the mic into a wire, and the other end into an amp's input. How complicated is it?

  • ok thank you but 1 thing umm i only have 1 amp and i want to make my talkbox louder but its a ghetto so tis rely quiet how do i do that and also thers both guitar sound and talkbox sound

  • My advice to you is just to scrap the ghetto. They are difficult to make effectively and rarely work like you see on the DIY youtube vids. If you really want good sound just buy one, and there's some pretty cheap ones out there that work pretty well. The freespeech for example, I got it for, like, $120? That's no too bad and it's pretty sturdy, so it'll last me awhile.

  • what im asking is how do u use the ghetto talkbox so itll be loud where do u plug the microphone in do u plug it into the amp??? cause i plugged my mic in my amp and it didnt work well so plz help

  • Yes, you plug the mic into the amp and the guitar into the talkbox. Then you just do what this guy is doing, and "speak" into the talkbox. What went wrong with your mic and amp?

  • i plugged my mic in and it made a staticy nosie and it had 3 different voices at once and i turned up to 10 and i can stll barely heare anything so help

  • Then you have trouble with your mic, cable or amp. Something is broken or crap.

  • the problem is its a 1 dolalr mic and also just to tell u i made teh ghetto talkbox where u plug the speaker into the output nd this might be a good thing to say... i only have 1 guitar input

  • Dude....I'm not tech support. If you really want it to work, just buy one. It'll save you a lot of headaches, and I can guarantee that you'll like the stuff you can do with it.

  • ur the only 1 who actually responded but dont reply to this 1 if u dont wanna im making this 1 cause for other peeps to reply to

    help please i only have 1 input in my amp and i amde the takbox where i plug my guitar into the amp and and the speaker/talkbox into the output/heaphones and even if i plug in a mic it makes liek 3 different soudns at once and even if i put my amp up to 10 its rely quiet((no its not broken its just a stupid cheap ass 1) please help

  • ok me agn im planning on getting the freespeech and i need help. the little ball mics on it where do those plug into cause i need it to go somewhere to amplify my talkbox so help and also i dont have a pa and i only got 1 amp

  • oh now i get it u have a speaker in there and u plug the mic into the amp but how do u hook a mic up into the ghetto talkbox

  • u cant even spell bon jovi retard

  • very good!

  • Yes you can, but you will have to use a microphone :D

    Talkbox is an acoustic effect.

  • fuckin sick : )

  • GO LEFTY!

  • ...cretino!!!!!!!!

  • do all talk boxes use microphones, im new to all the talk box stuff thinking of buying one ...

  • the free speech doesn't. you just plug it straight to your amp

  • actually, with talkboxes you want to use just in your room or practice with, you're fine and don't need a mic but, if you are at a show or in a room with lots of people, you might want a microphone

  • Well, the Freespeech comes with mics. But yes, they all do. This is because the talkbox is basically a speaker with a tube that funnels the sounds into your mouth, which you then shape with your lips, throat, etc. But, because the speaker is kinda small, and your mouth dampens the noise. So what the mic does is pick up the sound as it comes out of your mouth., like when you sing.

    The Freespeech just has a pair of cheap mics right next to your mouth that it routes into your amp for you.

  • how do u add a second microphone???

  • You just speak into it. Here's the (general) setup:

    Guitar plugs into talkbox if the talkbox has it's own amplification system (like the Danelectro Freespeech), if it doesn't then you need to route it through an amp to boost your signal, then route the amp's feed into your talkbox.

    All a talkbox is is a small speaker surrounded by a funnel, which then works kind of like a sound bong, and feeds the sound into your mouth. But that isn't going to be loud, so then you just "speak" into the mic

  • man, your a mother fucking badass on that talkbox

  • what amp and mic are you using? ive got a panasonic 100w PA system but the mic that came with it is shit, i want a really thin mic like slash used in the guns days, can you recomend any???

  • how do you run the external mic into your amp? Do you have to have a second amp for that? I think the talk box sounds good but its impossible to use it with the little mics they give you. If i buy a regular mic how would i run it into my amp?

    -Dakota

  • Nice Dude. Im in the prosess of making one myself.

  • left handed guitarist. Fuck yeah!!!

  • how did you do to remove the feedback?

    its a danelectro free speech...

  • Great!

  • THIS IS HOT!!!!!!

  • he is doing daft punk around the world! and the intro to and 80's rock song i cant remember the name lol

  • living on a prayer by Bon Jovi

  • C'est vraiment fantastique ,j'adore

  • are they all that bad? i say that cuz you say its a bad talk box in the description and im looking into buying one so im not good enough to make sound a good as you

  • how do u make it sound like your acuually saying sumthing?

  • You say something.

  • i mean it never sounds as good as daft punks

  • I can't believe I've never heard of these. This is awesome and I'm getting one.

  • Love the end! Metallica, TALKBOX STYLE!!!!

  • Best part of the video

  • How's named the metallica's song ???

  • the metallica song is enter the sandman

  • i just got mine, and my tounge keeps covering the pipe and cuting the sound out, do you advise anything to stop this? i thought about piercing 3mm diametre holes in the side, good idea?

  • would ruin it

  • yeah that would ruin it, the way a talkbox works is by allowing the sounds to come out of the tube's main entrance ONLY, that way you can alter the sound with your mouth. if you let the sound escape elseware, the shape of your mouth will no longer alter the sound - rendering your talkbox useless.

    dont do it.

    [Matt]

  • i didn't like mine, I always had feed back problems, so I sold it on ebay and build my own,

  • realy funny pedal

    by the way

    you play good xDDD

  • this guys a gimp

  • dude, i bought the danelectro talk box free speech pedal, but it doesn't seem to work, can you explain me how you conect you mic to the pedal and to the amp, it sound to d amn cool!!!! Thanx

  • the mic comnnects to the pedal, it should of came with a mic with a small plug. and then the guitar in to the imput of the back of the pedal and the out put goes to the amp

  • around the world around the world...(:

    i've ever thought that that song is nothing special but when u do it its so cool :D

  • FK U!! BON JOVI! NOT JOVY!!!

  • its BON JOVI....."OOOOOOHHH WERE LIVIN ON SPELLL CHECK!!!"

  • oooh yeaah!!!!

  • my free speech stinks it was a waste of money

  • Great demonstration! 5*

  • I just got the free Speech, it's great for just playing about with. If you;re really REALLY serious about talk boxing thoiugh, get a Heli.

  • whoa guitar talkbox? thats such a good idea!

  • ARE YOU IRISH?? if so i think it picked up your accent!! lol cool

  • enter sandman? thats pretty damn cool, man.

  • Actually I do . I am curently considering the Heil Talk Box.

  • I bought a Free Speech and It SUCKS! Maybe a better mic. would help...For now I would not recommend Dan peoducts to anyone.

  • maybe you don't know how to use them!

  • very nice! how deep you have to put the tube into your mouth to have this talking effect ? my friend just got one free speech, but it´s very low, we just can´t hear it when the other instruments are all together. thank you!

  • To use this talk box live you need a nice microphone, instead of the crappy one that comes with the box, and that mic needs to be hooked up to a PA system or another amp that will be loud enough to put the sound out there. You could probably keep the talk box on the cleanest setting and run the good mic through an overdrive pedal to influence what the growl sounds like (because the growl on the talk box sucks, IMO), but I haven't tried it with mine, and it may cause some bad feedback. Good luck.

  • Plz what does IMO mean?

  • in my opinion

  • Thanks! :) That explains alot

  • I just bought this one too but it iis very bad . Isnt it possible to influence the singal of my amp ? because i think i´m gonna send it back again ...

    Thank you and best regards from Germany ,

    Max

    P.s.: For sure good playing ;-)

  • hey dude that was awesome... but is it the sort of thing for like daft punk shit???

  • nah u cant, unless you plug into a 100 watt head and have it all coming out of the tube then someone might hear you :) its not like a normal effect where you just stick in into the guitar line.

  • Sounds Ritchie Sambora of Bon Jovi

  • Well done indeed. Dude, you have inspired me to get a Talk Box.

  • what about the rocktron banshee, are those any good? imnea, just for basic messing around with the effect but still wanting a good sound.

  • i have a banshee...really good!

  • I agree the Banshee is definately worth getting ;-)

  • If the Danelectro Freespeech DTB isn't a good one to buy, then what's the best one to get?

  • Heil sound (which is the original one that everybody used to use) and the fraptone one (which is the one frampton uses and alot of peopel use who used to use the heil sound one), these are both quite expensive, i have the heil sound one its great

  • Compare that to a Rocktron Banshee. then, let me know w/c one's the best of the two. Oh...and also for a reasonable price too.

  • do you connect your mic (sm58?) into the talkbox? i have one of these danelectro free speeches and have never managed to make it work (i think the mics it comes with are useless!)

  • dude no you just need to play into the mic, if that makes sence, like singing
