Bob Heil is perhaps known best for developing the Talk Box, the renowned device that has been used by rock guitarists for decades to produce a variety of unique sounds. But you might be surprised to learn that the Talk Box didn’t originate in a recording studio or electronics shop.
In this episode, Bob shares the entire history of the famous Talk Box, which has been featured in music by Peter Frampton, Slash of Guns N’ Roses, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, Tool, and many others.
You’ll hear how Jim Dunlop, George Harrison, and even World War II pilots figure into the history of this iconic device. You’ll also learn why Marissa, Illinois was the rock ‘n roll capital of the world in the early 1970’s.
Prepare to be inspired and amazed at the fascinating history of the Heil Talk Box, a little device that has had a huge impact on modern music.
Good Evening Bob and the Rest of the Heil Crew!
I tried to give a Review @ ha radio.com but the system can’t remember that I’ve Already replied to the Email, thus not allowing me to leave a Review on the Pro-7 headset.
Hopefully this is just a Temporary situation and I’ll be able to leave my recommendation for the Pro-7 that I Have (and Love!) in the next few days…
Once I Do get the review written, I’ll let Bob know what size Shirt I wear so he can send me one of the Heil Shirts!
I hope you ALL have a Wonderful Weekend…stay Cool if you Can!

Hi Roger, We don’t make the Talk Box. That is a Dunlop product. You might want to reach out to them.
