Anything with a high-pass and a low-pass will do the job. Pass 200-4000 Hz and you should be good. Some compression and a little bit of distortion will help.

How 'bout for a cheap AM radio speaker outside a Motel 6 pool?

pretty much just cut out the low end

A telephone? :wink:

Pretty much as David French said. If you want a more aggressive sound then a boost at about 1 Khz produces nice results.

I have this old Ashley SC-66 stereo parametric EQ. Not really useable for what it was intended for anymore (live sound). It makes a great "telephone simulator". Lots of roll-off control,especially if you cascade the 2 channels together (yields 8 bands). Really nails it, especially when I add its companion SC-55 compressor. Go on e-bay and search...you should be able to get BOTH for around $150.00! And a cool benefit is that they can still be used in the "sidechain" of a "good" compressor for all sorts of special effects and correcting chores( de-essing, de-booming,imitating a Joe Meek,etc). I typically use mine on a couple of Aphex Compellors...

I'd like to hear somebody actually record themselves over the phone and forget about using eq.

Ever heard of Shyne?

The actual bandwidth is 300-3000 Hz.

great suggestions

thanks all
