ah interesting....not sure I liked the sound that much though,lol but would be fun to play with!

I'm using a Zoom G1 multi effects pedal, then into the loop pedal. Not sure what actual effects I used, I just flicked through till I got something I liked : -)

Hmm, talk box effect might be a cool addition there, if it wasnt overbearing or over used.

Belinda, it kind of works as an auto-wah or envelope filter, but responds to the shape of the mouth. It is a really odd trick at first, but can add some pretty interesting effect. It could be tastefully incorperated into one of your performances. But then, I like it just as it is.

What effects are you using there by the way?

Ah ok Dan...somehow I hadn't come across it before!

I think it is called a talk box. He has a tube thing hooked up next to the microphone and he "sings" into it while playing at the same time. Kind of a "wah wah" thing.
