VH4 and TalkBox

[Hartmut]

I want to use a TalkBox with my VH4. To do that I´ll have to use 7x2 meters (to the TalkBox and back to the amp) speakercable. Will this have a big influence on my sound? I want to use Cordial CLS 240 or CLS 260. What do you think?
Thanks for your help

I don't know about big difference, but surely it will have an impact at least to some extend. I would not be too worried about the cables, but what talk box you are planning? As some of them do ruin sound even just by themselves.

Maybe you could make a 7 meter "controltube" or what ever control method your talk box has.

How about placing the talk box to a channel insert of e.g. channel 2? Then you could have it bypassed easily and when the insert/box is on the sound will nevertheless be ordinary guitar sound anymore so no concerns about ruining your base sound.

A talk box is a midrange driver, so no need
for big wires

It´s a Dunlop Heil Talk Box.

@Peter: Das Teil kommt ja zwischen Amp und Box, deswegen frag ich. Sind 2,5mm² pro Ader dick genug? Das Problem ist daß, wenn ich noch dickere nehme, die Kabel zu dick für jeden Klinkenstecker werden

1,5mm ist mehr als genug . Du hast keine
Bässe auf der Talk Box.

Wenn allerdings die Box über das Ding läuft
würde ich 2,5mm nehmen.

So I´ll take 2,5mm²! An other option would be to use something like a cab-switcher... I´ll think about that later! But so far thank you a lot! Now I can go to sleep without thinking all the time: "what if..."
