Lofi Telephone Microphone & Rotary Stutter Box • GTE AE 1981 • 1/4" • Altered by Varium

Altered GTE Automatic Electric Rotary Telephone from 1981 is now a lofi microphone with rotary stutter effect.The handset speaker has been converted to a lo-fi microphone and moved to the mouth-piece position.The rotary dial has been altered to be used as a rotary stutter effect - it cuts the signal in and out as the dial rotates. The switch hook is now an on/off switch so when you hang up the phone, the output is muted.The phone body has a 1/4" output jack for connecting to other gear.

Handset Microphone used like a regular telephone:

Earpiece - Empty

Mouthpiece - Contains the Mic

This mic is extremely lo-fi sounding and these types of vintage microphones can be susceptible to noise. Use extreme caution when connecting to amplifiers - it can quickly create feedback - start with the volume at 0 and turn the amp up slowly while talking into the mic.

Gear that is altered by Varium comes with a 2-year limited warranty.
