Just trying out my new talk box guit . “Babble axe “
Never tried one before ,, so be gentle lol
Fun as well .. but a lot of work too .
I dissected a mini amp and put the speaker in a toilet plunger ,, then drilled a hole and added a tube. . your basic talk box .. in a guitar .
This should get cooler with practice .. and with a better mic .
all I got a crappy dollar store mic, and it does not like my amp .. nor record well .
Sounds wayyyy better in person .
Anyway …… tada !
