This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I was always skeptical about getting a talk box because of the process it took to run the older ones. Let's face it, for someone like myself who plays local clubs etc, it's just not sensible to lug around anymore equipment then need be. I did my homework on this unit and read and watched several reviews and decided to give it a try. The result...................great decision!
Sound
I've read some other reviews that stated they weren't able to achieve certain sounds from this talk box. I've had no problem imitating those famous talk box songs. It just takes a little practice learning to mouth the sounds you're looking for.
Features
There were two features about this talk box that made it an easy sell. The first feature that impressed me was the pre-amp, this keeps you from having to set up additional equipment and makes life simple. The second was the fact that you have the choice to either have your guitar signal cut from your amp while using the talk box or you can have the signal continue through to your amp while using the talk box.
Ease of Use
This talk box is simple to use. The only limitation you'll have is your own imagination.
Quality
Seems very tough and I haven't had any problems with the quality.
Value
No brainer, it's a definitely worth the price, you wont be disappointed.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had any problems to date.
The Wow Factor
You wont catch me saying this product is sexy or something like that. Here's the real Wow factor. When you're playing live you just know people are wondering what the heck that tube is running up your mic stand and the first time you use the talk box people automatically go nuts, and why wouldn't? It's an awesome effect, it gets 'em everytime.

I don't see it failing any time soon. I would absolutely replace if it were lost or stolen. I love how easy it is to use. My ONLY issue is that I wish the tube were a little more flexible. With the stiff tube, the microphone can tend to "walk" when using a boom stand
Sound
From Frampton to Bon Jovi and every thing in between. The gain control lets you adjust the "sizzle" so you can get a very clean tone all the way to a fully fuzzed out tone.
Features
The gain, volume and tone control give you a huge range of sound.
Ease of Use
if you can hook up a stomp box, you can hook this up. Easy as they come.
Quality
Built like a tank.
Value
Great effect at a very affordable price.
Manufacturer Support
have not had to use them. I use it all the time and it has never let me down
The Wow Factor
The talk box is absolutely a head turner. Creates a very memorable element to our gigs.
