Anybody ever built a talkbox?

Using a PAM chip (like with my audio probe project), I can get away with 3.3v...I'm wondering if I can house the whole she-bang into a Guitar jack T at the guitar end? Hmm

Creating that second guitar line via tube/mouth/microphone seemed like a lot of work for a slightly improved talking guitar sound. very similar to using a mic to drive the filters in a vocoder.

Edit: It could double as a hooka.

This is priceless....

The guy I mentioned earlier who built one? .... Yeah, it turned out to be a gadget for vaping.

Press the footswitch and in classic music-box tone it played Peter, Paul, and Mary's...

always a treat to read that neither Puff the Magic Dragon nor Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds had anything at all to do with illegal drugs.

To be fair, LSD wasn’t made illegal in the UK until late 1967 and in the US in late 1968, while Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was written in March of 1967— technically not a song about illegal drugs in that case

I gave up nicotine years ago but I'd hit that shit.

Actually on second thought.. the image of sharing a talkbox tube makes me want to vomit... those things always look like they're going to smell like concentrated old man coffee/cigarette breath.

Could be a good project with the TPA3118 power amp module to drive the speaker me thinks.
