Post your DIY talkbox

[moody07747]

I'm leaning towards making a talkbox after hearing the effect and i have all the parts for a simple one from parts express listed out but the thing is you have to use a mic and all for it to work

on the other end, Danelectro makes the Free Speech talkbox with in line mic and all that...really simple, compact setup.
its quite a bit of money but i may go with the off the shelf unit mostly because of the built in mic.

anyways, I've been looking around the search and see some have made a talkbox like i was planning.

I would be interested in pics of homemade units as well as some details on how it went together

   Interesting. 
   HAven't heard one yet..
   Here's what I found helped my talkboxes:
   A sound going into the amp and HF driver they 'like'.
   "Better' quality amp and HF Driver, ok hose too...lol.
   *Big PA/Nice Mic which gets loud at low and high frequencies 'easily'...I don't know how 'simple, compact setup' could really pull it off...'don't know' means exactly that, I haven't checked out the FS or other talkboxes.

turns out more reading on the shows the mics of the danelectro TB are not all that great..same for the controls on it

i found that the Rocktron Banshee Talk Box is set up like the DE but is much better overall so i am going to buy that one instead
