The Rocktron Banshee 2 is the premium talkbox for pro players. In addition to traditional talkbox effects the Banshee 2 includes an effects loop to you add other effects into the talkbox signal path, or through your guitar signal path at the same time! It also includes an active LED to tell you when the Banshee 2 effect is engaged.

The original Banshee has served countless players over the years with a modern version of the talkbox. You've heard a talkbox used on many famous recordings, from classic rock (Aerosmith, Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton) to contemporary rock (Bon Jovi, Disturbed) to hip hop recordings and more.

The Banshee models provide easy setup (unlike vintage style talkboxes which are cumbersome to hook up and can potentially damage your gear by blowing up your amp head). What makes the Banshees so unique is the included internal preamp, amplifier, and horn driver. Simply plug into the Banshee as 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 imagination as you get the most incredible sounds from your instrument (guitar or keyboard).

  • so basically....for me to play guitar AND use the talkbox,I need an additional amp right?  one for guitar & one for the talkbox "mic"?

  • @97warlock In order to use the Banshee Talk Box to its full potential you will need a mic and/or PA type system. The idea behind a talk box is the sound is diverted down the tube to bounce off the back of your mouth. When you move the shape of your lips you are creating the talkbox effect. The MIC and PA helps to amplify this effect.

  • Hello there its me again , I have got my rocktron banshee 2 talk box and I am actually having a problem connecting with my guitar processor which is pod x3 live.I want to use the distortion from my processor. If you kindly let me know how to connect the wires in details , I would be grateful. Thanks :)

  • @AnindyaBoseKurt I think your best bet is to go from the output of your processor to the input of your Banshee II, then use the output (to amp) of the Banshee II and connect to the input of your amplifier.

  • @RocktronUSA

    Thank you so much .. in fact I have ordered it and have done with the proceedings .. I hope, if I encounter any problem I will keep you posted here with my queries, if that's not a problem :)

  • @AnindyaBoseKurt Hey Alex, the Banshee Talk Box can be used with any pedal or amp set up. Your best bet is to put it after the Line 6 POD so you can effect that signal. Also remember, to get the best out of your talkbox, you will want to use it with a mic or PA setup. The way a talkbox works is it takes your sound sends it through the tube and bounces it off the back of your mouth. In order to amplify that effect you would need a MIC, however the Banshee II allows you to blend the two signals.
