I’m curious about peoples experiences with talk boxes. Before spending money on one I may build one. There are designs on the web and it seems easy enough.
Has anyone found any downside to using them? I had a thought the the tube would be a collector of anything that comes out of the mouth. I also had a concern that anything dripping down the tube could damage the speaker in the box. Thoughts?

Re: Talk box questions
Never used one but a sensible thing to do would be to form a loop in the tube, so any drool (obviously never let a drummer use it) that finds its way into the tube gets caught in the loop and progresses no further.
Reliably fallible.

Only because you simply take your dentures out to stop them rattling.
