Re: heil box through amp?

It goes in between your amp and your speaker cabinet. You don't need a PA unless you are going to use a mic with it. A mic or PA is not necessary.

JG?? You OK? The sound from the driver thats being driven by the amp comes out of a tube thats in your mouth, so yeah, you need a microphone and a PA to hear it.

Micha, plugging a mic into the effects return will not work. That will shut off the preamp. You need a small PA.

Re: heil box through amp?

you need a separate pa for the heil one

have a look at the dano free speach, it uses a mic on it to pick up the signal from your moth and put it back into you signal chain (and therefore amp) so no need for anything more than guitar and amp

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I had one a long time ago and I could have sworn that it just went in between that amp head and the speaker cabinet. By "mouthing" the tube it opened and closed a valve that changed the pitch in the signal going to the speaker cab. Your answer explains why the volume was very low when I activated the talk box. If I had put a mic at the opening of the tube it would have amplified the sound. Thanks Chuck [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: heil box through amp?

[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] It's old age, bro. I'll be leaning on you soon enough for the same reasons I'm sure!
The guitar amp drives a driver, just like you'll find on a PA horn. A tube is connected to the driver in place of a horn and the sound comes out the tube all distorted like into your mouth. Your mouth is now the "cabinet" and you can change the sound by changing the volume and shape of your mouth. You don't actually speak or make a sound. The microphone picks up what is coming out of your mouth. It's a really simple thing thats fun as hell to play with.

Re: heil box through amp?

Re: heil box through amp?

mmhhh.... that's just what I've thought... [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

well, seems like I gotta take it the way it is.
it sounds like real fun and I like it quite a lot... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

@chuck; would the effect be the same with a parallel FX-loop? I could mix the signal from the mic (that's right now?) with the original from the preamp?!
still doesn't sound like a good idea, but maybe someone else tried it already...

thanks for posting doods!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: heil box through amp?

Hmm....that may work, but it would be far from ideal.
I would run the mic into a small guitar practice amp, see if that works. I know this is just for practice, but that would be a better way to go.
