First of all, Awesome preformance! I own a Rocktron Banshee 2.... How do you make it talk? I can do cool effects by moving my mouth, but when you actually talk into it the thing does nothing and also it won't do anything unless your playing the guitar while your moving your mouth.
@thejakeludwig hold any note on guitar and move your mouth like the word you want your talkbox to make, and DON'T SAY ANYTHING, lip sync with your guitar. The note you hold determines the pitch of the word (High or Low).
shit man that was actually brilliant im getin a danelectro talk box soon an i was wondering is it hard 2 transpose the lyrics 2 the guitar cause i wana do wat uve dun here with sum other songs thanks
@emosk8er1323 i don't see y you wouldnt be able to the sound comes out of the end of the tube and u just move your mouth to modify the sound the tube would be attached next to the mic so your mouth is near the mic and the tube is still in your mouth the mic just amplifys the sound of the talk box coming out of your mouth so that everyone can hear it cause the other instruments would easily drown it out
okay i see, so you can play with this thing without a microphone if ur just by urself.. but if u were practicing with a drummer, ud definately need a mic right? or else it wouldnt be loud enough to hear?
Yup, if you play with it live or with a band, you're going to have to mic it. The talkbox output is about the same as the human voice, so it'll sound just fine.
Nice job! So, is this the Rocktron Banshee Talk box? I'm thinking of getting one of these. You don't need any type of additonal pa's since it's got the preamp? I thought you needed a mic but I guess not. Well, I know what my next guitar purchase is.
dude. after watching this vid five times I have determined this is the sickest talk box vid I have ever seen. Please make some more man this is so cool. Might I recommend buying a mike stand or attaching the hose to a lamp haha. It seems you had to resituate it a bit. Like I said though, this is amazing. rock on
Both sound pretty boss. I can only imagine how they sound through your beast mode talk box. At 43 seconds when you go up to the fifth (classROOM) from the minor third man, I could make love with that chord change all day long. That was genius. Good job on the solo too.
if the lyrics were talkboxed and the guitar parts inbetween weren't i think it would be better. the talkbox takes away from the guitar playing in this. i think it ruins the guitar part, but the lyrics are awesome. i would love to hear it again without the talkbox on the guitar parts
I purchased the Talkbox over eBay, from the SLF Music store, which is an authorised Rocktron product retailer. In total it might have cost me around 200, including the shipping. I had to pay an extra 50 also, but hat's only because of Canadian customs.
It's a heavily modified washburn I modified myself. It retailed at around 800 stock. Not sure what model it is, but it says 'Washburn Chicago Series' on the headstock.
Thanks for your interest. Yeah this is a really popular myth, and I've heard it myself. It absolutely untrue. Read one of my previous comments where I explain how the talkbox works, and it is 100% to use.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hahaaha them pipes ... can mess ur brain up seriously.. they send electric signal threw ur brain u can get brain damage an tha lol sly on u m8 i wudnt use tha to often lol
I'm not sure where you got this info Rharris, but I can assure you it's entirely fake. I've done alot of research on the product beforehand, and this is how it works:
A small amplifier is built into the talkbox, the sound is emitted through the tube, and into your mouth. From in there, the sound waves bounce back from your mouth to the outside, shaped by the pattern of your mouth. No electrical current, no brain damage. Simply echo-acoustic properties at work.
i don't get how a talk box works. are u using your voice box at all, or is it the strumming of the guitar and the movement of your tongue and lips that make it sound like words.
The amp's output sound goes through the tube and into your mouth, from there, the sound reflects back out of your mouth, and you use your throat and mouth to shape the reflecting sound, the same way you shape the air you breathe out while you speak. It's the same principle as talking, except you don't have to release any air, because the sound is already coming from the amplified box.
Haha nice job March, i saw that you enjoyed having that tube in your mouth while i was watching you play...weird? maybe, maybe not but anyways what i noticed is he tube moved to the middle of your mouth...is it alive? Oh and guys if you wanta good laugh pause the video at 2:49, it made me laugh xD.
The talkbox is like a big foot pedal, about the size of 5 DVD boxes piles on top of each other, and roughly the same diameter. You simply plug your guitar into the input of the talkbox, as you would any pedal. The talkbox has a large tube exiting from the orifice on top, and you place this tube in your mouth. An amplifier built into the talkbox with send the sound into your mouth through the tube, where you shape the sounds with your mouth.
