Just kidding there, but seriously, this thing's more than just a toy, it allows one to exude Frampton-esque sounds, and all manor of Joe Walsh-ey Pink Floyd-ey type stuff too! Stick a phase shifter or a Leslie emulation pedal in between the mic and amp, and you got '70's bliss! Wholeheartedly recommend this for any and all Frampton fans! Rock the Hell on!!

Back in the 70's and 80's I had a couple of homemade talkboxes. Either they didn't work very long or my amplifier didn't work very long. I sort of soured on ever using a talkbox again, until I came along and discovered the Rocktron Banshee. I briefly tried one of the Dunlop talkboxes (a one night stand) about 10 years ago but that just scared me that I was going to blow up my vintage tube amp (that would be costly) again plus it was a total pain in the rear to hook up in the speaker path. The Rocktron Banshee is easy to hook up and my only concern is that one of these days I'm going to mess up and hook up the speaker output to my amp input and blow the preamp. The sound that the Banshee puts out is amazing. It's loud enough to make my head rattle when I hit the right notes. There isn't a single tune that you can't do on this. Sweet Emotion...no problem. Do You Feel Like I Do...well no I don't because I'm the one playing the guitar through the Banshee. Rocky Mountain Way.....Joe Walsh look out. Beverly Hills...OMG here's the ticket. I would replace this immediately if it were lost or stolen. The unit acts as a floor effects pedal and is not in the speaker chain, it goes between your guitar and amp and cuts the signal to the amp and routes it to an internal amp on the Banshee which then sends the sound out the tube, into your mouth, through the microphone and arrives at your audiences ears as a pleasing sound. I plan on putting a bright colored piece of tape on it to make sure that no one inadvertently blows up my amp.Read full review

I have owned the "other" major Talk Box for years! Recently I switched amplifiers and found my setup requiring an ohm change. Needles to say my other brand of talk box bit the dust and DAMAGED my new Marshall tube amp! I bought the Rocktron Banshee and I'm kicking myself in the head for not buying it when it first come out! This thing is AWESOME! I was worried it would not get loud enough but I was quickly relieved to find this unit actually got louder than my other brand even when my amp was CRANKED! Just for refference I use a 100 watt Marshall JCM 2000 TSL with 2 Cabinets when playing. Don't worry fellow guitar players, this thing will amaze you. I also like the feature of being able to SET my own volume level, tone, and gain of the unit. Just hook it up like any ordinary guitar pedal effect and it automatically cuts the signal to your amp. It also has a jack to run to your speaker cabinet but I don't know why you ever would. I'm converted from the "original" talk boxes to the ROCKTRON BANSHEE!Read full review
This is a great product housed in a sturdy steel chassis, complete with its own amplifier circuit. With talk boxes of yesteryear, you had to use the output from your guitar amp to drive the horn inside a talk box, which created lots of problems (complex setups, blowing up amp transformers, etc). Since the Banshee has its own built-in amp, you hook it up just like any other stompbox pedal. Of couse, you still need to route the tubing up a mic stand and "sing" into a mic (through a P.A.). Another plus, you can hook up a small speaker to a separate output on the Banshee and use it as a practice amp! Even has nice gain & tone controls!
