Re: The "Ghetto" Talkbox

Been wanting to follow through on an idea for a long time. This is a less complicated version than I had in mind. No glue, no hose, no ruining a smokey amp. But ultimately, you can go way further than I did here, do something to create more isolation so the sound doesn't escape as much from the amp's housing.

seems like a better job then others i saw, i might do what you did.

The Smokey amp, like some other tiny amps, can't get a clean sound, it always distorted - but that's perfect for talk boxing. Go for it.

Nice Job. The do the "whaw" part was funny. Nice Job!!

[therockyjones]

Thanks, man. I had been wanting to do that project for years - and when I saw mootbooxle's video, I was inspired to whaw forth.

There is some really famous song that I think

is by Peter Frampton, where he says, "Do you

feel like I do?"

I think that's a talk box, but I never knew what

it was called.

Neat video!

The confusingly named Do You Feel Like We Do, a classic, also his Show Me The Way has some squawking in it. Nazareth: Hair of the Dog, Eagles: Those Shoes, Joe Walsh: Rocky Mountain Way. I have a Ventures Christmas album in which they seem to be using a talk box on Silver Bells. Pretty cool.

pretty good.

if you really want a great talk box sound for guitars or keyboards...get a horn driver=]

it sounds way way way way better then a speaker.

if anyone needs help about how to make one let me know.
