"I love it."

Feature:
I wish it were a little louder without any so that I could use some of my heavier distortion with it.

Quality:
I'd drop it off a roof. I work in a metal fabricating shop. Its solid metal all the way around it, yeah, its durable.

Sound:
I like alot of Alice in Chains,BLS,Pantera,...,and I am very pleased with this product so far. I have a Dnlop Crybaby Wah w/ the Q-dail and it sounds pretty cool if you keep the wah all the way back.(You can get a slightly better deep throaty sound like that.)

Ease of Use:
Very easy set-up, no stress at all.

Overall:
I believe that this pedal will last a while.

You want to really speak to an audience with your guitar? The only way to get that classic "talking guitar" effect that Peter Frampton made so famous is with a talk box effect. Unfortunately, the rig that Frampton used was a nightmare to setup, requiring a second, dedicated amplifier to drive the talk box speaker. The Rocktron Banshee Talk Box makes recreating this radical effect easier than ever by providing its own internal amplification. Its improved design is easier to incorporate into your effects rig, and it sounds better, too. What's not to love?

Use It Like Any Other Stompbox
While a revolutionary idea, the original talk box designs weren't much more than a speaker that fed a surgical tube. In order to make it work in a live setting, the amp would need to be bypassed, and a separate amp would need to drive the talk box--a setup that's costly and a hassle to gig with. Frampton had his own guitar tech to set everything up for him, but many a guitarist has attempted the talk-box sound only to incorrectly patch the talk box into their systems or mismatch amp/speaker impedances, resulting in blown heads and costly repairs. The Rocktron Banshee eliminates all these problems by providing its own, internal six watt amplifier. This simple solution allows the pedal to be placed in-line with the rest of your stompbox effects, and eliminates both the need for a second amp or the possibility of damaging your first one! It's simple, safe, and it just plain sounds better.

A More Versatile Sound
Because the Banshee contains its own amplifier, it's capable of a wider sonic palette than its predecessor. Rocktron gives you gain, tone, and output level controls, so you'll be able to make your talk-box tone dirty, smooth, cutting, or anything in between.

Doubles As A Practice Amp!
Another thoughtful addition: an external speaker output. Rocktron figured "hey, we've got a six-watt amp, why not let guitarists use it to drive a speaker cabinet for practice?" So that's exactly what they did! It's just another way that the Rocktron Banshee offers you more bang for your buck.

zZounds has the Rocktron Banshee at a rock bottom price. You can add that classic vocal guitar effect to your setup for well under $200 dollars, and interact with your music in a whole new way.

If you feel like we do, we think you'll agree: the Rocktron Banshee Talk Box is a talking guitar effect that finally makes sense.
Finally!! A talk box without the extra baggage! The Banshee Amplified Talk Box is the first talk box with its own preamp, internal amplifier (5 watts) and horn driver. No more confusing A/B amp set-ups or potentially dangerous stage-side rigs. Simply hook up the Banshee in line with your stomp boxes, hook the included tube to the mic stand and go. The preamp section has an Output Level, Tone and Gain adjustments. When not using it as a talk box, plug the Banshee into a speaker cabinet for the ultimate practice amp and crank it up!
