Members Themetallikid Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 I have the heil talk box, and I read on the Dunlop site that its an 8 ohm load. So when I plug it so that the signal goes amp > Talkbox > cabinet, and my cabinet is an 8 ohm load, the amp see s 4 ohms regardless if the talkbox is on/off right? I'd really like to just use my JSX for it and not have to lug a second amp around. (and yes I know the banshee has a built in amp, but I dont want that one, I have the heil...)

Members tommythelurker Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 No, it simply switches between the talk box and the cab. So your amp only sees one of them at any time, each being 8 ohms. If it was 4 ohms you'd have sound coming out of both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked dunlop and they said those aren't meant to be used with alot of watts...I used it with a DSL100. It couldn't handle the power I guess.

Members Themetallikid Posted October 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've used mine with the Fender Cyber Twin before and had that cranked pretty good, and a marshall valvestate I know they probably arent rated watts wise as high, but they were cranked pretty decently...cause I used the same mic as I do for vocals, and because I sing pretty loud, they have my mic turned down so to compensate I'd crank the Talkbox amp. I've had it for 3-4 years and no issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Themetallikid Posted October 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 Thanks for the clarification...that was kinda my thoughts, not cause I understood how you described it, but cause when you turn it on, no signal to the cab so i would assume the amp wouldnt see it. but thanks...
