Behind the Call of Duty Talk Box Video

Whether you're into Daft Punk or you have a stack of old Zapp tapes, surely you can appreciate this.

OK, so we were running a bunch of footage last night for the upcoming Call of Duty: World at War review when we happened upon a young Canadian named XxANSWERZx306xX. Besides repping hard for Regina, SK, dude also has a talk box. Together, the combined power of the talk box and the Xbox Live headset translated into absolute magic.

Here's what we caught...

  



...so I wrote to young ANSWERZ and sent him a link to the video. I also asked him what his setup was like, assuming it would be some elaborate rig involving a MicroKORG vocoder keyboard and a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. But no, dude is doing things straight-up Frampton-style with a tube in his mouth. Bad-ass.

So, uh... yeah, I just sort of wanted to salute XxANSWERZx306xX for bringing joy to the world in such a fashion. And for having a lot of Xs in his name.

Here's the man himself, breaking down his setup...

  



Lastly, here's a photo of Vinny, trying to convince me to buy a talk box off of Amazon.

"We need this!"
