Telephone Mic on a Guitar Amp

[@joaoantoniovione484]

I made my phone mic with one I found in a wasteland, even managed to keep the original coiled cable and base. Lots of fun recording drums, vocals, but didn't try on guitars yet. Added a nice, mid-thickening presence. I also enjoyed using reversed 70s headphones as overhead, sounded pretty dark, yet defined. Otoh it's moody regarding noise, can start buzzing without notice. I enjoy to do this band-pass kinda thing when sending sounds to delays and reverbs. Might as well begin to record with the telephone going thru the delays and printing along the dry track.

I just heard about the headphone trick from a DJ! thanks for sharing!

Analog and digital delay with fuzz peds to my red "1-800-hotline" phone sounds sick for vocals.Keep these vids going I'm loving this stuff.🤖🎛️📼

[@MadeOnTape]

great chain! thanks for watching 🙏

[@redxxfour]

Really interesting! Thanks for the video. I'm inspired to try some terrible mics on everything now lol

[@MadeOnTape]

yes!!! terrible mics ftw 🙌

Is there a way to make a guitar pedal from a telephone mic, so as to make you electric guitar sound as if it was played through a telephone? If somebody could make that, it would be a mainstay on my board!

[@MadeOnTape]

I'm not sure how that would work! Please try it out for us! thank you for watching!

[@mattwardynski7429]

Might try out this telephone thing sometime! Have you ever tried using a pair of studio headphones as a vocal mic before? I haven't but I hear you can get some interesting timbres with it...

[@MadeOnTape]

never heard that! similar concept i’m sure but i’ll look into it!

[@moneydoctor]

Way cool. I’m searching for a Porta Two.

[@MadeOnTape]

good luck! I see them pop up on Ebay and Reverb.com pretty frequently!

[@huntergalloway3944]

That’s it. I’m building one of these! You also have shoebox cassette recorders in my eBay suggested items lol. Good stuff!

[@MadeOnTape]

lol those eBay suggested items are dangerous for me every day hahahaha

The singer in my former band used a telephone on stage occasionally… neat effect

[@MadeOnTape]

same here! it's great on stage!

[@ryananthony4840]

Very cool!

[@MadeOnTape]

thanks for watching!

Does the "Trim" pot not give gain? I thought that was the whole point of line vs mic settings on interfaces

[@MadeOnTape]

absolutely! some have more headroom than others, and we used this microphone on stage a lot, so SOME kind of gain was needed in the effects chain and now it’s a forced habit when i use the mic. six one way, half dozen the other in this specific scenario, tho! thanks for watching 🙏

I like Hainbach's channel but oh man... yours is more impressive since you're experimenting with cheap, affordable gear which I can find in my country for less than 20 bucks. Is truly inspiring Id really love to see something with the 505, the telephone or shoebox cassette mic and maybe the VCR? (i have those things)

[@MadeOnTape]

that’s high praise: i LOVE hainbach but i understand what you mean. have you ever checked out Simon the Magpie? he works a lot of lofi cheap DIY magic. thanks for watching and i’ll always keep this in mind

[@davidreidy5750]

I agree!!🤖🎛️📼Hainbach uses gear I could never see in my lifetime.👾🛰️

[@Mark_Williams300]

I have two M201s. A TG and an NC

[@MadeOnTape]

how do you like them? and what's the difference?

[@Mark_Williams300]

@@MadeOnTape It's been so long since I used them that I can't remember.

[@nexusnostalgia]

Long Live Analog!!!

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

Why do people wire these to talk into the side you would listen to? I know that a speaker can be a mic, but it just looks wrong.

[@MadeOnTape]

i'm not much of a circuit bender myself, but I think rewiring the speaker is one of the simplest for beginners? I'm below beginner-level when it comes to soldering or wiring 😂

[@ndavies8]

Awesome video! Drinks on me if we ever meet!

[@MadeOnTape]

hahaha thank you and thanks for watching 🙏
