I'm not a big fan of the talk-box (mouth-box? what the hell..) used on guitar, though it seems to be invented for that purpose. Being born in 1974 and growing up in the 80s I just can't get the image of Richie Sambora out of my mind every time I hear that sound
But as I own one... well, I thought why not? And I really love that sound on a static sound like a synth. It really sounds like a gregorian chant or something like that... you know that peculiar vocal sound you can hear in Popol Vuh music? Mmmm.....

i was just woundering how you routed the talk box. i know in the guitar set up its supposed to come between the amp head and speaker cab, did you do the same for your synth?

Now... I'm trying to recollect.... I actually can't remember if I had some more pedals in the way, which is possible, but basically it's:

moog -> talkbox (which is in fact that cheap danelectro model someone was talking about... it's got a built-in microphone. You just gotta use it at low volumes, or it blows larsens all over the place) -> amp head -> amp cab.

Yep. It's in fact got 2 small mics attached to the plastic tube you put in your mouth to modulate the sound. the tube goes into the pedal and the mics end in a small jack to insert in the pedal. So it is basically self-contained... though it's very difficult to control in a live situation if you usually keep your decibels on a high standard, if you know what I mean...
