Kids Megaphone DIY = Distophone!

[greatgreatriver]

Hi guys!

Hope someone can help me out here, so I can build my little effect (fun) processor.

I have a kids toy megaphone that I like to use on my voice and other fun effects. My idea is to remove the microphone and put a TRS input that goes through the electronics and to the microphone, instead of the microphone I would like to put an output TRS. Basically I want to turn this megaphone into a effects box that I can use on whatever I want.

Is this possible without altering the design to much or will I run into impedans problems etc?

Here's a picture of the megaphone.

Any ideas?

Kindly regards,
Stefan

Another capture - this time with a TRS soldered to the speaker on the distophone...

I suspect that all you guys are going to go ape shit and totally love my sound.

I'm digging it - next test will be to put a input so I can process my guitar and other stuff.

Wish me luck!

sounds cool - aren't you glad you tried it, instead of bumping your thread a bunch and waiting for someone to feed you resistor values, doc?

Thank you brother for posting in my thread! I'm feeling honored and pleased now. Yeah, the doc thing was pure jamming with myself and I. I did a rap as well but I decided to censor it.

Blessings!

Oh and yeah! Of course I'm happy - this will be my new effect plugin - connected straight to the patchbay. Instant love!

Some more testing... I soldered a input jacket, now I can play guitar and sing at the same time, if I want.

I also added a output so I can record myself straight to the computer.

Post more music clips and THEN ask for feedback. Being an attention wh**e is more likely to get mods to lock your thread than you getting positive reinforcement.
