The First

Let's take it all the way back to my first real endeavor into the musical electronics world, way back in September 2010.

I first started out with a small battery powered practice amp (Danelectro, I believe) that I had gutted to use on this. The whole reason that I had though to do this was off of one youtube video. it layed out  simplistic talkbox, and I just took it and did my best to hack through getting it working.

Eventually, it turned into this-

Pretty awesome, huh?

The craziest thing is that it actually worked, and quite well too. As one can see, duct tape went to good use in almost everything in this project. I wish I had made some sort of demo of it, because this picture is all I have left of it. It has fallen apart and ceased to work recently, which is not surprising at all.

All my goofing in this sort of thing was suddenly given direction.
