Description :
This is a toy megaphone with various built in effects such as distortion, ring
modulation and pitch shift. For samples, go to www.myspace.com/mycasiocatharsis
A friend of mine who bought one of these from me has made a song using only the
megaphone and drums. To hear it, go to www.myspace.com/slatecaverns - "kick
it"
It has 6 lights mounted in to the speaker that flash in time with the sound. I
have added the following modifications:
1. Body contacts. These 2 body contacts effect the sound in a really cool way -
they make it fizzle and pop and disintegrate.
2. Feedback button on handle. This switches on the feedback feature, which
creates a huge electronic noise that is changed drastically with the body
contacts. It pops and crows and bubbles, depending on which effects are
used.
3. Feedback dial. This is used to adjust the feedback sound - turned to the
right you get a different sound than if you turn it to the left.
4. 1/4 inch jack input. This makes it possible to put anything through the
megaphone. Drum machines, keyboards and guitars all sound amazing.
5. 1/4 inch output jack. For plugging the megaphone into an amplifier or PA
system.
6. Speaker/output selection switch. For changing between output and
speaker.
