CHEST BOX - $199 + $10 for Amp

This Chestbox is the GT version with the
'breathing' chip technology, the box comes as a kit which you have to build, you do have
to take your time marking, drilling and glueing, but it's well worthwhile and will give
you a real feeling of achievement when complete. The design is based on the ROTJ box, it
has pulsing LED's and to get the best from the breathing kit you will need an amp of some
king, here is the Radio Shack version (notice that we have attached a mobile phone belt
clip assembly to the amp using araldite!! - Below Pictures...
 
The device comes with the
output cable already attached to the PCB, however, this cable if not attached to something
will ultimately break from the board solder due to stress, therefore we used a solder iron
to melt a small channel into the box housing (left pic), we then superglued the cable into
the housing channel, this not only removes all stress from the solder point but keeps the
cable in a secured position. The device works with 4 x AA batteries, they do last for a
long time, powering both LED's and breathing, there is an LED on the back of the board and
2 switches, the first switch is the recording control, simply place the board near your
source and hold this button in for a maximum of 20 seconds (the LED lights while
recording). Simply press the play button and you get the sample continuously looped AND
it's crystal clear, we used the same sample that plays on this site, if you need the
sample, e-mail us! - Below Pictures...
 
We have played about with
the positioning of the amp for the best overall sound results and it sounds best when the
amp is directly at the back of the costume, on your belt but right at the back, this seems
to make the sound flow round the capes and gives a perfect all-round effect!!
