Babble axe improvements ,
I Added some tweaks .. the little dinky amp didn’t have enough power so I added a pre amp .
.. also more strings to do a power chord .
Sorry for the crackling .. I thought I’d try plugging that crappy mic into the back of the computer instead .. I guess it can’t handle bass .
Anyway ,, its better than it was .. and sounds waaaay better in person . I just don’t have a good way to record it . and I gotta practice words a bit more .
And a better mic would help too..
i'm still playing aroud with it at this point .

hope you enjoy my voice box guitar . "babble axe "

basicly ,   its a little  on board amp     .. and the speaker  is in  the  toilet  plunger ,,   add a hose   and the sound travels   up  the hose  to  your  mouth  ..  then you just moth the  words   etc  ...  the   sound from the speaker  is  your voice box  you  mouth  changing shape  forms  words  . 

you  dont actually    talk   or say anything out loud  .  same thing  peter frampton  used  ..     i think  he had a  piece of surgical  tube stretched over a speaker   .

i have to say that this is probably the wildest functional swampwitchery ive seen yet,  its like peter frampton on some kind of timothy leary driven brain wave  most excellent
