What does the Formant block do
The Formant filter produces human vowel sounds.
Headroom and clipping
Because of the resonant frequencies of the Formant filter, it's easy to make the digital signal clip. Make sure there's enough headroom in the preset level.
Simulate a talkbox
The Formant effect lets you simulate a talkbox, and if you really really must ...: play Livin' on a Prayer.

A real talkbox doesn't use a speaker, so experiment with leaving out a Cab block.
