TalkBox Synth Guitar and Vocal Effects Processor

Just got it, was recommended a 9V center negative 300mA power supply from amazon...most do pedals use this...this pedal needs a 9V center negative 670mA power supply, so if you were recommended a wrong power supply, the pedal might not work...top right light should be green and not a blinking red...i think it might be because the 24v constant phantom power this puts out to the mic, not too sure....other than that, this thing is friggin fun!

Price was right, Item was right, I love it, love it, love it !!!! I got it fast! Thank you so much! Now I sound like a robot!

Unit arrived on time, but barely functional. Unit produced no effects at all, although the effect on-off switching worked. The unit is very well constructed, and well thought out in terms of features (such as programmable inclusion of the dry guitar signal, as well ans momentary vs. latching foot switch function. I will update this review after a get a functional replacement (there was no option on this item for a direct replacement - I had to return the defective unit and order a replacement separately. Update - I received unit with the exact same issue - no effects at all - just the programmable switch function works. Both units tested were correctly connected per the manual, and all microphones and cables used to test the unit were separately tested and verified. Happy Ending...obtained prompt email support from the manufacturer, and we determined that unit had faulty firmware. Using the factory firmware update tool, I was able to enable full functionality. I wanted a realistic talk box effect without the "hose in mouth", and this unit does that and more! If I hadn't had to hassle with two defective units, I would give it 5 stars on the basis of its performance.

This was a gift for my son. He was excited to try it. I believe it was everything he wanted.

I was really excited to get this but it did not work with my Fender 2 channel acoustic amp! Great customer service from seller. TC-Helicon not so much! No contact number for technical help is a bummer! Really wish it had worked!!!

I just wished it came with the cables and an adapter. But otherwise I love the fact that it can be used with AA batteries

works great

This thing is a lot of fun. I would change a bit , but still good for a vocal effect unit.

El que me llegó no funcionaba, me regresaron el dinero de la compra en saldo a favor y por ese motivo no puedo valorar el pedal como debería de ser.

This pedal is so much more versatile and so much better sounding than the crappy YouTube reviewer videos. There’s a ton of sounds within the presets just by tweaking the parameters! . If you know what you’re doing this is a killer secret weapon especially for producers! Way better than advertised! You can plug anything into it also, not limited to just boring guitars. Also using different mic’s affects the tones so it’s really limitless. An excellent innovative pedal! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ IT WORKS ON STANDARD PEDAL POWER so don’t waste your money on an adapter.

I was after a classic vocoder sound. This unit does that. I liked the fact that it connected easily to a PA rather than a guitar amp. The boss vocoder needs special set up to achieve this. Connection to PA is important for live use as you will get feedback if your guitar amp is behind you as is often the case. Also, guitar amps will often compress the sound and detract from the effect. What I wasn’t sure about was the quality of the vocoder sound. It worked but when you vocalised into the microphone, the sound seemed a bit thin with noticeable hiss. This hiss is likely to become less noticeable in a band context. I also didn’t think it handled complex chords as well as the Boss Vo-1 The monophonic synth modes sounded a good deal better and I would have been seriously impressed if they were polyphonic as I wanted to do harmonies. One of the modes does generate a 5th harmony. The unit does come with some vocal processing capability useful for backing vocalists. I eventually went with the Boss Vo-1 for the quality of its vocoder sound but I can see that the Talk Box Synth could suit the needs better of a live performer more conveniently.

bonne pédale mais ce n’est pas comme les talk box avec le boyau. moins de control du son que vous voulez faire comme on peux le faire avec la bouche je possède les deux donc plus de control avec la bouche

You've looked at some reviews. You think this will do what your after.. you are somewhat right. But it will come with a lot of added background hiss when the effect is off(bypassed) and a lot of buzz and feedback when activated. I've had a mic mechanic before this, which was excellent.. but these newer units are noisier a d not as well built (could have something to do with TC being taken over by behringer a year or 2 back?) It might work for you.. but I only like to hear my fx when its turned on so I returned it.
