Players begged us for a talkbox with more features, and here
it is! The Banshee 2 gives you the ability to let the guitar signal feed your
amplifier at the same time that the talkbox effect is turned on!! This way you
get your normal guitar signal through your amp while the talkbox effect runs
through a mic (and your sound system).
Rocktron has brought an exciting new dimension to the
talkbox with the Banshee 2 by providing an effects loop which now lets you add
other effects into the talkbox signal path, or through your guitar signal path
at the same time! These new features allow you to get some wild new sounds
never before done with a talkbox! We’ve also added 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).
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.
