Description
Bringing a cool, new twist to the outdated generation of complicated and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 today'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!
Get your hands on the most unique product in years and let
your creative juices flow! Or as Guitar World Magazine put it: "With a
simple design and arena-worthy performance at a cool price, this Banshee
is sure to send you screaming into the night.
