Basic Configuration

Amp Head with a speaker output

Microphone with a P.A. system (amp & speaker)

8 ohm speaker or speaker cabinet

Hook your guitar up to any pre-amp effects you desire (Crybaby,

Distortion, etc.).

Have the last item in your pre-amp effects go into the input of

your Amp Head.

Connect a cable from the speaker output of your Amp Head to

the input of the Talkbox. (Be sure to use a heavy duty speaker

cable, not a standard guitar cable.) Caution: The Talkbox is an

8 ohm speaker rated at 100 watts max power or 50 watts RMS.

Check the specifications on your amplifier to verify that it will not

overpower the Talkbox.

Connect your 8 ohm speaker or speaker cabinet to the output of

the Talkbox. When the Talkbox is on, the signal is passed up

through the tube. When switched off, the sound is passed

unaltered through to the speaker.

Put the end of the Talkbox's clear tube up alongside your

microphone, so that the tube fits in your mouth. Make sure the

tube is close to the microphone to achieve best results from the

effect. (Have your microphone set up as you normally would

using another amp and speaker.)

You are now ready to recreate the vintage sounds of the

Talkbox! Practice moving your mouth and tongue to produce

vowels and consonants while playing single notes on your guitar.

Keyboard Configuration

Amp Head with a speaker output

Speaker/Amp combo or Amp Head with speakers

Microphone with a P.A. system (amp & speaker)

Connect a line-level output of your keyboard to the input of the

Amp Head.

Connect a cable from the speaker output of your Amp Head to

the input of the Talkbox. (Be sure to use a heavy duty speaker

cable, not a standard guitar cable.) Caution: The Talkbox is an

8 ohm speaker rated at 100 watts max power or 50 watts RMS.

Check the specifications on your amplifier to verify that it will not

overpower the Talkbox.

Connect another line-level output of your keyboard to the input

of your Speaker/Amp combo or Amp Head with speakers.

Put the end of the Talkbox's clear tube up alongside your

microphone, so that the tube fits in your mouth. Make sure the

tube is close to the microphone to achieve best results from the

effect. (Have your microphone set up as you normally would

using another amp and speaker.)

You are now ready to recreate the vintage sounds of the

Talkbox! Practice moving your mouth and tongue to

produce vowels and consonants while playing single notes

on your keyboard.

Pro Configuration

Amp Head with a speaker output

A/B (and/or) switchbox

Speaker/Amp combo or Amp Head with speakers

Microphone with a P.A. system (amp & speaker)

Hook your guitar up to any pre-amp effects you desire (Crybaby,

Distortion, etc.).

Have the last item in your pre-amp effects go into an A/B switchbox or

similar switching device that accepts one input and has two outputs.

Connect your Amp Head to one output of the A/B box and connect

your Speaker/Amp combo or Amp Head with speakers

to the other output of the A/B box.

Connect a cable from the speaker output of your Amp Head to the

input of the Talkbox. (Be sure to use a heavy duty speaker cable, not a

standard guitar cable.) Caution: The Talkbox is an 8 ohm speaker

rated at 100 watts max power or 50 watts RMS. Check the specifica-

tions on your amplifier to verify that it will not overpower the Talkbox.

Put the end of the Talkbox's clear tube up alongside your microphone,

so that the tube fits in your mouth. Make sure the tube is close to the

microphone to achieve best results from the effect. (Have your micro-

phone set up as you normally would using another amp and speaker.)

The A/B box will allow you to control whether you hear (A) the

regular, unmodified sound of your guitar, (B) the Talkbox effect going

to your microphone, or (A & B) both at the same time.

You are now ready to recreate the vintage sounds of the Talkbox!

Practice moving your mouth and tongue to produce vowels and

consonants while playing single notes on your guitar.

The Talkbox is one of the most innovative and unique effects device ever

created. From its introduction to this day, it’s been used on hit record after hit

record. Its sturdy construction and ease of use will give you years of reliable

performance.

Operating Instructions

The Talkbox takes the signal from your Amplifier SPEAKER OUTPUT and

sends it through the hose. Place the hose in the corner of your mouth,

between your back teeth. To make the instrument “talk”, mouth the words

into the microphone while simultaneously playing your instrument. Do not

make any sound with your voice. Begin by mouthing the vowels A, E, I,O, U.

You’ll find that the more exaggerated you form your mouth, the better the

effect will sound. Next, work on saying words with the hard consonants, such

as B,D,G,J, K,P,Q,T. Then move on to phrases and complete sentences. When

you bite down partially on the hose, the sound will change; however, if you bite

down completely, it cuts off the sound.

Tips

Listen to some of the music the Talkbox has been used on, for example,

Peter Frampton’s “Do You Feel Like We Do”. This is one of the best examples

of what can be done with the Talkbox. Frampton uses complete phrases and

combines them with his soloing, harmonizing with his voice. Some other

examples of Talkbox use are Joe Walsh’s “Rocky Mountain Way”, Alice in

Chains' "Man in a Box", Scorpions' "The Zoo" and Slash's "Dust and Bones."

CAUTION

Do Not use the Talkbox with a high wattage amplifier. Also, be sure that

both your instrument amplifier and microphone amplifier are GROUNDED.
