Rock It Like You Talk It! The Banshee gives the classic "Talk Box" a much-needed update! This is the Talk Box you know and love, just like the one you remember seeing on stage at that Aerosmith concert circa 1977, with the mouth tube. But unlike older Talk Boxes, the Banshee is extremely reliable. It features its own internal pre-amp, amp, and horn driver. Just plug in your Banshee and you're ready to make your guitar sing, talk, and create freaky sounds. Dial in a range of clean or dirty preamp tones with plenty of saturation if you want it. You can turn your pedal board into a great practice setup with enough volume to seriously crank it. Bringing a cool, new twist to the outdated generation of complicated and risky talk boxes, the Banshee is a unique new product that gives classic rock touches to the 90's players. Although "talk boxes" have been used in the making of hit music (Aerosmith, Frampton, Joe Walsh, etc.) for years, many guitar players simply have not tried them because of their complicated and potentially damaging setup. Leave it to the stomp box gurus at Rocktron. The Banshee rocks, simply and safely. What makes the Banshee so unique is that it contains its own internal preamp, amplifier, and horn driver. You simply plug into the Banshee like you would any common stomp box, and run the provided "tubing" up the mic stand and into your mouth. The rest is up to your own imagination as you get the most incredible sounds from your instrument. And no more risk of blowing up your favorite amp head, (always a possibility with talk boxes of old). The Banshee's preamp section features controls for gain, tone, and output level. A wide range of clean and dirty preamp tones may be dialed in with plenty of saturation for those who desire lots of gain. Guitar World Magazine wrote: "The Banshee's high-gain preamp and focused tone control allow for excellent enunciation and sustain. With minimal practice, I was able to create clear words and open vowels, and I could readily see how anyone could become addicted to this effect." Not only does the Banshee scream in the talkbox mode, but Rocktron has also included an extra jack for hookup with an extension pedal speaker. Plugging a speaker cabinet to this output turns your pedal board into a perfect practice setup with enough volume to do some pretty serious cranking! NOTE: Due to the personal nature of this product it is non returnable. Customer Reviews  Man in the (Talk) Box   by Donald Kuchta from Wichita, KS, August 03, 2007 Music Background:  Semi-Professional “I play in a cover band that plays a lot of rock music from 70's, 80's, and 90's. I purchased the Banshee so I could reproduce the sounds heard in songs like Sweet Emotion (Aerosmith), Show the Way (Frampton), and of course my favorite - Man in the Box by Alice-in-Chains. The first thing I noticed was how heavy the Banshee is, I mean this thing is built like a tank! The Banshee is easy to set up....” Read More • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "This allows you to get the classic talk box sound without replacing the fillings in your teeth (no kidding, it was an issue in the past). Very useable tones, this will help you cop the original feel of many timeless classics. No worries about reliability either, this is a tough unit. You don't even need a second guitar amp to make it work. I believe it is the best talk box I have ever used."
