My TalkBox Project Status

A few months back I posted that I would be building my own DIY Talk Box. I have finally gotten around to doing it. I managed to pickup a PylePro PDS772 for $20 and it was still in the box. The thing has a great frequency range (500Hz to 16KHz) and is very powerful at a whopping 300W RMS with a peak of 600W. I managed to pickup all the parts I needed from Fry’s Electronics and Home Depot and cobbled it together earlier in the week. Boy, does it sound good. I am making a HowTo video to show all the steps and explain some of the gotcha’s I expierenced on the project. So that video is coming very soon. I also had a Crown D-75 reference amp tucked away that I decided to drive the Talk Box with but I wanted to switch it to Bridge Mono and the service shop said it would cost $125 to get done so I sent an email to crown asking for the service manual and within a day I had all the schematics (including all the older revisions) emailed back to me. Upon looking at the schematics I found that it was a single jumper that needed to be changed and so it took me a total of 5 minutes to switch to bridge mono. There is a HowTo video for that coming as well.
