🗣️ Can your guitar talk? Yep! In this lesson, I’m using a vintage Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat to explore that strange, vocal-like guitar sound. I’ll show you the signal path from my guitar and pedalboard to the amp, through the talk box, and up the tube. Then we’ll hear how changing the shape of your mouth changes the sound, try speaking through it, and add some overdrive. It looks a bit ridiculous, but it’s a lot of fun! :)
🎶 We’ll also look at how newer talk boxes differ from this vintage setup and some famous songs that use the effect, including “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Check https://www.youtube.com/@JustinGuitarSongs for song tutorials!
