| Sonic Implants Releases Talk Box Guitar Sample Collection |
|
| Those unfamiliar with the "Talkbox" by name will almost certainly be familiar with the litany of distinctive sounds it can produce, as popular artists as diverse as Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, and Bon Jovi have used the Talk Box over the course of the last thirty years of popular music. In short, the Talk Box is an apparatus that allows guitarists to effectively 'talk' guitar notes by routing the guitar's amplified sound through a piece of tubing the player holds in his mouth. Fluctuations in mouth position relative to the tubing enable the player to evince all manner of artificial 'speech' using the guitar as the players 'voice'. |
