TalkboxMemberQuote:Hi, It’s been a little bit over a year since I Bought my Golden Throat and I still have not been able to try it out due to a lack of an amp and just being busy working on my audio engineering skills and piano playing. Can someone please recommend me the most affordable amp that’s perfect for use with the GT. Something that I wont have to solder any extra inputs or outputs to. Something that is ready to use out of the box with my GT. Thank You
EDIT: Also please recommend an amp that is suitable for High quality studio recording, I don’t want bad sounding recordings when using the amp Thank you
Any combo amp with a speaker-out jack will do, or any amp with a separate head.
As far as most affordable, you can find some small practice amps that have factory Speaker output jacks in the Crate family, a few in the Peavey family I believe.
As far as ‘quality for studio recording’, as far as talkboxing goes, the signal gets so compressed and distorted through the unit itself that you’ll be very hard pressed to tell one amp from another. Remember that a TB must be mic’d in order to be relevant in a performing or recording situation. “Sound quality” in the finished product is going to be determined more by the mic than it is the amp.
TalkboxMemberI’ve been driving a Golden Throat II for a while with a 30w combo amp that has a speaker out. You can modulate the signal strength well enough on the amp side to keep the light from getting to be an issue, while still keeping it loud on the hose end.
Some people like to push them stupid loud but I’m not about to have to go looking for an 1823m diaphragm. Mine gets loud enough to get fully articulate without having to risk a meltdown.
If you’re after that super loud, hissy sound that some cats get by pushing their TBs so hard it actually displaces the air in their mouths, I’d suggest getting a Rocktron and blowing that up instead. The original EHX units are kinda hard to come by and there are plenty of dudes out there cool with using them to sane levels who’d be happy to trade you a Banshee + Cash to take it off your hands.
