Jim Dunlop HT1 Heil Talk Box

  • To understand the concept, first think about how your form words
  • The air is pushed from your lungs, through your vocal chords and then you form the air in your mouth and nasal cavity to produce a different sound
  • The Talkbox replaces that air from your lungs with the sound of your instrument, allowing you to form it into words and phrases
  • The Talkbox takes the signal from your Amplifier Speaker Output and sends it though the hose
The original Heil Talk Box is back in style. You too can recreate the sounds popularized by: Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Slash, Alice In Chains, Aerosmith and others. Easy to Use! Can be set up with one guitar amp, but requires separate microphone and mic amplification. Features: Sturdy metal body, 6-1/2 feet of surgical tubing and a sturdy phenolic diaphragm.
