Published on 06/29/14 at 23:32It is a Talkbox a new genre: the need to connect between the amp head and cabinet, the MXR M222 works like any effect pedal since preamp and amp miniaturized are integrated into the solid metal housing.
Specifically, in "off" mode, it operates in "true bypass", and once activated, the signal normally hand to the guitar amp is mutated, the M222 sends the amplified sound in the pipe, the sound enters the mouth and is picked up by the microphone singing and sound. Moving jaws, cage resonance varies and the sound is modulated by: Peter Frampton is then in place (almost)!
UTILIZATION
There is some time to adapt to be able to properly use this special effect. This includes placing the tube in the mouth properly so it does not clog with the tongue or inside the cheek. Personally I gently wedge between the molars and go!
Second step: moving the mouth in order to tame the sounds that result: we then have an effect that is reminiscent of a very vocal species wah, very cool.
Step 3: is articulated vowels. This is where the Talkbox makes sense: the audience is often glued to hear weird sounds that result.
Step 4: we make words or phrases, and then trick: guitar speaks wine 'gods!
SOUND QUALITY
This is just huge, sounds obviously have a voice that no side can reproduce wah. It gives a unique organic side a riff or a solo, an almost animal side. Having said this effect is in my opinion to use sparingly to keep the element of surprise.
OVERALL OPINION
I love this Talkbox. I have at least one question or intrigued by concert look, and as I used little, people are always glued!
This is a very special effect, but it lets out of the beaten track, MXR has produced an extremely serious product, whether in terms of build quality or sound realism.
