Thanks for the clips. I'm a bassist, so "acoustic vs electric" is a familiar set of tradeoffs. One minor note: Watch out with the talkbox -- there are rumors that it can cause hearing damage.

I've always wondered about that; seems like a whole lot of acoustic energy right next to the Eustachian tubes.

In my reading the main thing is to be careful to keep it reasonably quiet? If it is a similar volume to your voice when singing it should be pretty safe. (I'm lucky enough to perform in a genre where you can generally keep stage volumes pretty low.)

  That's probably the case, though I'm no hearing expert. The rumors typically have to do with Peter Frampton volume levels. But who knows what else those guys are doing to their hearing.
