Talk-Box

What is a Talk Box?The Talk Box is a unique effect box or pedal which has a speaker connected to a long tube. The tube connected to the talk box actually goes to the guitarists mouth to create the talk box effect. The tube is normally taped to the side of a microphone of a performing guitarist.
The guitarist either talks, changes the shape of his or her mouth, or the position of is or her tongue, and the sound travels through the talk box creating a guitar tone that sounds as if it's talking.


Talk Box sound:
Bon Jovi: Living On A Prayer, We Got It Goin' On

Aerosmith: Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way (Intro)
