Yes, I know that's the original concept but apparently the banshee does make it possible to use it as an ordinary stomp box (with a tube of course)...

"You simply plug into the Banshee like you would any common stomp box, and run the provided "tubing" up the mic stand and into your mouth" (http://www.rocktron.com/products/stompboxes/talkbox_series/bansheetalkbox/)

Thx for the info.
Got me a bit further (like how to attacht the tube to the driver) but unless I'm misreading those sites, the talkboxes mentioned there use the power of your guitar amp for creating the sound and should therefore be connected between the speaker and the amp, like the Heil Talkbox?

I'm really looking to build a stompbox model that I can insert in my fx-chain (or easily put between the guitar and amp like any other stompox). I believe the Rocktron Banshee works this way, so as a stompbox with a "guitar-in" and an "amp-out" instead of an "amp-in" and a "speaker-out".

With a box like that, I don't have to connect the talkbox to the speaker of my amp (I use a Peavey Classic 30 combo and that amp has a wire running straight to the speaker, no jacks to use there unless I start using and external speaker) and that way I also have the possibility to use other FX that would be behind the talkbox in my fx-chain on its sound, like modulations, delays,...

To make one that works this way, does this simply mean: make one with a built in low-power amp and horn-driver in the stompbox and my guitar amp then takes control over the final volume? And how do I internally connect the driver to the stompbox-out? the same way as explained on http://www.blamepro.com/talkboxG.htm ?
I'd try to make one with a 9V ruby LM386 as mentioned on this forum's topic "Help with talkbox internal amp?" (http://www.ssguitar.com/index.php?topic=449.msg3243#msg3243). But which horn drivers are appropriate for that one? I can't quite make out what power this amp has?

Yeah, lotsa questions...

Well, it's the other way around: in is guitar-in, out is to amp (or fx-chain) en the effect is between the send-return. i don't think that this makes a lot of difference in your reasoning...

and yes, that's what i mean by feedback looper...

but i'll give it a try using a smaller pot. found that value though in FB-looper with true bypass and in that one, there is no resistor at the "in"... is that one necessary?

i've wanted to make a feedback looper without true bypass channel. soldered this together but must've made a mistake. it works a bit as dry/wet mixer but not as a feedback looper... anyone an idea why?

Hello

I'm really new to DIY-Stompbox making... I've build a couple of OD-pedals but I'm really interested in building myself a Talkbox-in-Stompbox. I've been reading up on the topic "Help with talkbox internal amp?" but I still have questions about making a stompbox model.

the out of the Ruby amp mentioned in the other topic goes to the speaker-in. Is it then simply a matter of connecting the speaker out with the out-jack of a stompbox? I guess that one should go to ground...

And then there is the plastic tube. how en where should it be connected to the speaker?

Thx
