Dunlop Heil Talk Box jam

signal chain:

Paul Reed Smith LE24 - Radial ABY switch box - (A) BOSS Giga Delay - BOSS Phase Shifter - Fulltone OCD - BOSS Loop Station - Bad Cat Hot Cat 30R 1X12" (B) Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 1X12" - Dunlop Heil Talk Box

"PA system" that I have to use is my Peavey 1X12" bass amp, with a Shure SM57.

1st day with my Heil Talk Box set up into some kind of "rig" that I can jam by myself. Will have more to come.

does the dunlop heil have a dc input?

[alwaysending]

@mistermoshpit101

it only has 1/4" unbalanced input and outputs, that's it.

[mistermoshpit101]

@mistermoshpit101 so where does its power come from?

[alwaysending]

@mistermoshpit101

think of the talk box like an extension cab. all it is is a small speaker placed inside a metal box sealed off with a tube coming out of it for the air flow.

the sound goes through the amp from the guitar into the talk box, which drives the small speaker very hard forcing the sound out of the plastic tube. this tube goes up right next to your microphone running a "standard" way through a PA. your mouth controls what is sent to the mic

@alwaysending

i meant my fx loop sorry.

so it can be guitar out into gt-10

effects send (1/4 jack) into the talkbox, then into a shure sm 57

shure sm57 out (XLR) into the effects return (1/4 jack) using a XLR - 1/4 jack cable that i have.

and then from my gt-10's output into my amp?

i would basically be running the heil in my gt-10's effects loop using the mic's output instead of a normal pedal's output.

@mistermoshpit101

no, an XLR mic will not connect to a midi, have you ever looked at both of them? notice one has 3 pins, the other 7.....

[mistermoshpit101]

@alwaysending could i run my guitar into my boss gt-10 and then into the dunlop heil, with the mic plugged into my gt-20's 'midi in' and then into the amp?

[alwaysending]

@mistermoshpit101

into a PA system via the plastic tube. yes sir that's correct.

if you have a "real" talkbox that is... they make others that do not require this much, but they don't sound as good either.

[mistermoshpit101]

so i have to run the talkbox from a seperate amp?

my guitar signal goes into my amp, into the alkbox and then that signal comes into a pa system?

[alwaysending]

@nikki435

a speaker out? The Talk Box sends a guitar amp signal into itself which houses a small speaker and that drives the sound up through the clear tube into your mouth. When you put the tube in your mouth and make changes it sends all that signal through your "normal" vocal mic and into your PA system. I didn't have a PA handy, so I used an amp as one.
