I do gigs with one band where a talk box is part of my setup. I've got an old 80's Dunlop Heil that I love. I've run it with all my amps, and it sounds wicked. Thinking I can use it with my KPA as well, but here's my questions to anyone who has done it:
I have a power rack version, but sometimes I don't run it with a monitor out or from the power amp out to a cab. I just use the in house wedges to throw my sound back to me, and that works fine for some bands. If I'm using a powered speaker through the monitor out, would I connect my talk box between the monitor out and speaker as if it were a normal amp setup, or would it still come from the out on the power amp? And if it comes from the power amp, will it damage the power amp when the talkbox isn't engaged if I still don't use a guitar cab on the other side of the talkbox since there would be no load on the power amp when it's off? I'm looking for a way to not have to bring the guitar cab if I don't need to, but if thats the only way to safely run the talk box, I will suck it up! haha
Help a brother out!
Also, heading into the studio with the KPA for the first time next week. Any tips for my first time out? Some elec stuff, lots of acoustic as well so hit me with some good profiles to run an acoustic through! It will be for a country/Gospel Christmas record first, and a few more in the next few weeks.
Thanks
