The classic effect in a self-contained design.

The Rocktron Banshee Talk Box brings a new twist to an outdated generation of complicated and risky talk boxes. Banshee is unique because it contains an internal preamp, amplifier, and horn driver. You simply plug into your pedalboard and run the provided tubing up the mic stand and into your mouth. There's no risk of blowing up your favorite amp head (a possibility with talk boxes of yore). The rest is up to your imagination as you generate incredible talking tones. A wide range of clean and dirty preamp tones may be dialed in with plenty of saturation for those who desire lots of gain. Not only does the Banshee scream in the talkbox mode, but it also includes an extra jack for hookup with an extension pedal speaker. Plugging a speaker cab into this output turns your pedal board into a perfect practice setup with enough volume to seriously crank it. Includes power supply.

Rocktron Banshee Talk Box Features:

• Contains its own internal preamp, amplifier, and horn driver
• There's no risk of blowing up your favorite amp head
• Has an extra jack for hookup to an extension speaker so it can also serve as a practice amp

Order today and scream like a banshee.

If it ever dies, I'll buy another!

I've had this thing for 5 years now and it's never exhibited a single problem. This thing sounds so much better than any old Heil talkbox I've used in the past and has stood up to all kinds of abuse. I give this thing a rating of 5 stars all the way around. More companies out there could learn a lot from Rocktron because a serious musician will gladly pay more money for something if they know it's built to last. I've owned a lot of Rocktron gear in my time, and I've still got 20+ year old devices of theirs still going strong that have never needed repaired.

I've had this box for 2 years now. If I had to complain about something, I guess it would be that the tube seems a little thick. And someone said they bought clear tubing. I wonder where they got it? I'd be interested.

I hated having to stop before a song and try to quickly velcro the tube to my mic stand, then quickly detach it before the next song - so I just took the spring clip off of one of those butterfly universal mic clips, and attached it to the tube. Now, when I need it I just reach down and grab it, and clip it to my mic and I'm ready!!

Great box, heavy duty construction. I'd definitely recommend this box.

I've been wanting a talkbox for a LONG time now, but I always thought you needed the whole PA setup and all that, but no, this is great. Plug the Banshee into the power outlet, plug your guitar into the banshee and you're set. Don't even need an amp with this baby. If you play live though, you will need a PA, but for bedroom practise it works awesome, and you can hear it clearly and loudly at even 1/4 volume. Talk, Flanger, Wah, Yaya, this thing has it all.. I just gotta learn to stop drooling when I put the tube in my mouth!

I am an M.E. and analyze products for a living. The Rocktron Banshee Talk Box is built very well. I have dropped it a couple times and never worried about damage to anything except the floor. I can't speak for the internal construction but the case will outlast me. I gave a 5 for features even though it has only two functions. However the talk box allows all sounds you can imagine. I have been experimenting with various items over the sound transducer and have gotten wild sounds from common items like a kids plastic ball, cups, wooden bowls, etc. I'm keeping it!

Banshee Talkbox

I must confess, I bought this on a whim. I have no real need for a talkbox. But I will say I'm very glad I did. The Rocktron Banshee has that real classic talkbox tone like Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer or Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart. So yeah, great tone clean or dirty, and it gets really fun if you throw other stompboxes in front of it. It seems well built and I can't say I've ever had a problem with any of my other pieces of Rocktron gear. For anyone that says they can't get a good tone out of this thing, they probably don't know how to use a talkbox. I'll admit that I didn't when I first brought this baby home. But after a couple hours of practice and some internet suggestions I got my Les Paul talking quite clearly and putting out that really sweet thick talkbox tone we all know and love. All in all, a fantastic product from a fantastic company.
