General
You don't see talk boxes around that often any more, but when you do, they always make an impression. Perhaps you're familiar with Bon Jovi's song 'Livin' on a Prayer' that makes good use of one. More often than not however, you need to stick a tube in your mouth in order to make the iconic sounds. Not so with TC Helicon's Talkbox Synth. It allows you to create eight different talk box effects, all without a tube!
Talk box
You'll need your guitar and a microphone to make full use the Talkbox Synth that has two different talk box styles (Classic and Modern). Both of these have two modes; one for your vocals and one that also mixes in the sound of your guitar.
Synth
The Talkbox Synth also has four synth-like sounds on board that are triggered with your guitar, which you can then use to vocalise. There are also controls for adjusting the amount of pitch correction and choosing the type of reverb. TC Helicon's famous adaptive tone control adds a professional finishing touch to your sound. If you've always wanted a talk box but didn't like the tubes that normally come with them, TC Helicon's Talkbox Synth effects pedal is the answer.

Dit gitaar-effect gebruik ik met mijn Nord Stage 2 icm een Shure SM86 en dat werkt uitstekend! Bij het uitsturen van het synthese-signaal moet ik wel goed oppassen dat het signaal redelijk wat high-cut heeft, anders klinkt het talkbox-signaal als een schelle, onaangename toon. Maar ik was heel blij verrast dat hij het zo goed deed met een synth!
Qua presets valt het wel een beetje tegen, omdat het talkbox effect wel werkt, maar de synth-effecten zijn niet heel denderend. Zijn wel leuk om mee te spelen, maar qua geluidskwaliteit niet echt bruikbaar op het podium.
Al met al dus 4 sterren, omdat het echt wel goed klinkt als een talkbox, terwijl het geen talkbox is. Ik zou iemand die het échte talkbox geluid wilt niet aanraden om dit instrument te kopen, maar gewoon het dubbele uitgeven aan een talkbox.
Iemand die voor heel weinig geld een redelijk alternatief wilt kan wel degelijk wat hebben aan dit apparaatje.
Nog één belangrijk pluspunt is de manier waarop je dit apparaat ook kunt gebruiken als galmbox voor je vocals evenals een subtiele en kwalitatief uitstekende pitch corrector/auto-tune. Ook is de Tone-knop geweldig: Met één knop een helder ge-EQ'de en licht gecompresste vocal sound.
