- In this video, DM Kahn shows you his DIY Talkbox - how it was made and how it sounds using his Fender 5E3 tube amp to power it, and 3 different OD/Distortion pedals for different flavors.
Leave a comment below if you built one yourself or if you enjoyed the video. Thanks for stopping by!

I bought a brand new horn driver (Range: 1kHz - 17kHz) for about 18 USD and I just replaced my fairly cheap guitar amp's driver with it and the whole system sounds amazing
That came out sounding really clean! Very nice work dude. Also the audio quality on your videos are top notch.
Hey Khan great videos... I wanted to ask if you could showcase your Studio a bit... and show us your stuff.... Plus an Dub reggae tutorial would be great.. shouts from Switzerland
BoristheBallistic thanks for the comment! Sure I could do a studio tour and show off my stuff. I did do a little bit of a dub tutorial, but perhaps an in depth tutorial on the concepts of dub music would be cool for those looking to learn what it’s about. Check out the other vids! Cheers
@@DMKahn Thx muxh appreciated
Hey man, I loved the video and am considering building one myself. My fender hot rod deluxe has a preamp out, could I connect that to the talkbox?
You would actually need to take the feed that goes right from the amp where it would normally go to the speaker cabinet. The talkbox is actually a speaker. You just need to make sure you match the impedance. Hope that makes sense
@@DMKahn ah yes that makes sense, thank you so much!
Hi, I have a compression horn driver that is 16 ohms. Would the type of capacitor you have work with 16 ohms or would I need to use a different kind of capacitor?
I’m really unsure, so sorry man
i just built this a few days ago using your parts list. only things that are different are the capacitor, i used one that i had on hand and it is a different value. and the hose barb is plastic and not brass like yours. it sounds great but i find that its not that loud? i used my fender deluxe reverb amp on 10 , its a 20watt amp . also, are you supposed to cut the tubing down? if its longer, will that make it quieter? i can just turn my mic preamp up, but then whenever i breath its reaally really loud. also, thanks for all your videos, im loving them and finding them very useful. keep them coming please
It’s hard to judge “loud”. Mine gets loud enough to rattle my teeth. So I’d say it’s pretty loud lol.
Really cool you made one tho! Glad this video helped someone hahah
@@DMKahn mine is definitely not that loud. ill try ordering the same value capacitor you did. maybe that makes a difference. also, how long is your tube?
Matthew Moran it’s frickin long, like 10 feet
So the sound of guitar come up from tubing proccesing by mouth n received by microphone n the end output to amplifier. Right sir? Tx u
Correct!
the talkbox will be passive? my amplifier has 2 100w speakers, will it work on the line output?
The talkbox itself is basically a speaker. The one I made here is good up to about 30watts. I think your amp would blow the talkbox speaker. I’m not sure there are talkbox type drivers that can handle that much wattage. Maybe if you used a loading device to drop the output wattage it would work. Cheers

How do you adjust the volume?
On the amplifier or pedal

Exqueese me? Have I seen this one before? "Frampton Comes Alive"? Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of "Tide".
