A Talk Box with an Effects Loop!

The Rocktron Banshee 2 updates their original Banshee talk box, giving you that classic Talk Box sound you know and love - now with even more compelling, new features. Of course, like the original, the reliable Banshee 2 features its own internal pre-amp, amp, and horn driver - just plug it in and you're ready to make your guitar sing, talk, and create some seriously freaky sounds. And now, the Banshee 2 even provides an effects loop so you can add other effects into the talk box signal path for even more tonal possibilities! Rocktron also added an active LED so you can tell right away whether the Banshee 2 is engaged.

  • Get More with the New Effects Loop
  • Tweakable Preamp Section for Killer Results

Classic Talk Box with Modern Reliability
Bringing a cool, new twist to the outdated generation of complicated and risky talk boxes, the Banshee 2 gives classic rock touches to the 90's players.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 2 rocks, simply and safely. What makes the Banshee 2 so unique is that it contains its own internal preamp, amplifier, and horn driver. You simply plug into the Banshee 2 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).

Get More with the New Effects Loop
The talk box is an incredible effect on its own, but think about tacking on your favorite delay or distortion pedal - or maybe you want to try your wah, or flanger for some seriously singing tones. Whatever arsenal of effects you imagine, try them with the Banshee 2 - it features a new effects loop so you can add whatever wild new sounds you want in front of it, or you can put it through your guitar signal path at the same time!

Tweakable Preamp Section for Killer Results
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."

Rocktron Banshee 2 Features:
  • Modern Talk Box with Internal Preamp, Amp, and Horn Driver
  • Can Tweak Gain, Tone, and Output Level
  • New Effects Loop
  • LED Indicator

NOTE: Due to the personal nature of this product it is non returnable.

Very authentic sound. Needs to be set to full gain though for proper sound. Easy to use and the effects loop allow custom sounds.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
