jam from lick library?

[batfink777]

Yep!

[electrickithara]

Nice demo! I have three amps. Do I need a P.A. system too to make it work?

[batfink777]

Thanks. I think the pros use PAs but you don't have to...I didn't for this vid. Don't use a high wattage amp. The Talkbox is rated at 100 watts max power. Check that your amplifier will not overpower the Talk Box before hooking it up. Good luck!

@batfink777 would it blow up a 15 watt Voz tube amp?

what wattage amp did you use?

[GuitaristJesse2442]

@GuitaristJesse2442 Vox

[nikki435]

can i hook one up o a jc120 amp

[batfink777]

Not really sure although I don't think you should use a high wattage amp. The Talkbox is rated at 100 watts max power. Check that your amplifier will not overpower the Talk Box before hooking it up.

Do a search for How to Set Up the Heil Talkbox 

[chrisharvey9]

someone said to me it works on how your mouth is positioned, im guessing thats wrong?

[thad1121]

@chrisharvey9

the tube works as a microphone basically, mouth positioning doesnt really matter, just make sure you can hold it without hands and make a "voice"

Great job man nice combo i have a heil and I havent tried blues on it yet but im about too :)

[batfink777]

Thanks! Hope it goes well for you!

[greatcomedian18]

@batfink777 i have a heil also and i got a new guitar amp with an output and i turned on the talk box and i cant get any sound from the talk box. for the speaker im using my roland kc-150 keyboard amp and idk why i cant get the talk box to work. i hope its not broken. i went to my local guitar store and no one there uses one

[GQ420]

SOUNDS GOOD.. 

"GQ"

[batfink777]

Thanks GQ! Appreciate that coming from a "talk box dude"!

[testpatternpt1]

Nice. I guess this goes without saying, but I wish that you had used the vocals for more effect. Maybe because of the fact that it is an experiment - I wish that I (or anybody, for that matter) could figure out how to mesh guitar and vocal smoothly, so that they feel like they are one and the same...I have listened to Peter Frampton and felt the same thing. Someday, somebody's going to utilize this to its fullest potential - I hope its you...but meanwhile, good job!

[batfink777]

Thanks a lot! I've only used this this for a couple of hours but I can tell you that making it "talk" is tricky business. A couple of people like Stevie Wonder can really make it work with the keyboards. Cheers!

Ooh! Haitian Divorce next.....Gotta say this sounds pretty loud and full to me.I only know a little about very early talkboxes and you couldn't have your amp on once the gizmo was switched on. This sounds great Donn

[batfink777]

Haitian Divorce!? Let's not rush into this! Thanks Paul for the listen. This is a pretty cool toy. It's really pushing my giggle button!

[MrCaribbean]

OHH man the talk box, I really enjoyed this Donn, yes you dont have to be a virtuoso my friend. definitely a nice added attraction. when i first heard this was on an Lp with Peter Frampton live...it blow me away lol and i love what i'm hearing here bro. Would have to try my hand one day. Keep on pickin' my brother as always nuff respec to you.

5 stars

[batfink777]

Thanks Sugar! Nice to hear from TnT's lone bluesman! I think if you tried one of these talk boxes you'd be killer at it! Would love to hear that! Thanks brother! PS Hurry up and post something!

[mrmichael20]

Great ! just turn it up little bit, or maybe louder effect or something :) you know heavier one ;)

[batfink777]

Thanks Michael! You're right...it needs a boost of something. Gonna work on that.

[mrmichael20]

@batfink777 It is great the way it is. Just try different heavier effects and then upload them here :)

[Gregparkerblues]

Hi Donn.Really neat sounds. I'm glad that you have uploaded your experiment.Cheers

[batfink777]

Thanks Greg!
