Mysteries Revealed: "Ghetto" Talkbox

MooT BooXLe explains the "ghetto talkbox", and how it differs from the real thing...then the two talkboxes square off in battle! Actually, they don't. But I play both to show the differences.
Thanks to everyone who built the "ghetto talkbox"...hopefully this will answer a lot of the questions you've had, because if it don't, then you may be out of luck. I'm kind of through with it. However - if you are looking for info about building a good talkbox, or for tips on playing the talkbox, setting up sounds, etc, head over to my website:

Good luck and have fun!!

i use the same driver for talkboxing, and i tend to get the type of sound that's like the diaphragm in the driver is loose, kind of like when the cone of the speaker is disconnected from the surround. does yours ever get that sound?

[mootbooxle]

@gnrfanatic141414 That's weird! I know the sound you're talking about though - the only time that's happened with my drivers is when I've just got the volume too loud! Usually, if I get that "barking" or "flexing" kind of sound, that's my cue to turn it down! Do you run your talkbox pretty loud?

I just recently found the video with the ghetto box and I wasnt sure how great it would sound, I wanted a better example. Thanx for the vid cuz....well it cleared things up a little. I just wanted to see if I could make that cool sound at the begining of Generator by the Foo Fighters lol.

[mootbooxle]

@palgrim I really dig that song. In my opinion, though, the ghettobox can't do that sound. It doesn't have the sound pressure.

[OoglyBoogly3]

i like the ghetto one better mann

[gabedom420]

i agree with luigilover48. Could you make a vid showing how you made the real deal talkbox? both sound phenomenal, and the ghetto one could be useful in a pinch. but the real deal is, well, the real deal.

[SimonSayzMusic]

[FunkMasterKRoc]

[DJRoboticJ]

How do hook the horndriver talk box up to your keyboard/ synthesiser

[TheGuitarshooter]

i think that you could get some cool sounds out of the ghetto box and that i could find a couple things to use it for but i play guitar and idk if it would work out lol

[ImSuchaGamer]

Damn man you are extremely naturaly tallented at this. Theres no way in hell id be able to make a quick tune like that on the top of my head just to show the diffrence of the talkboxs
