Classic talkbox effects have always come through a PA, not a guitar amp, so TALKBOX SYNTH is the ideal way to bridge that gap. The XLR output of TALKBOX SYNTH sends your polished vocal mic output to the PA while also outputting the onboard effects when you hit the foot switch. The guitar input and output circuitry is designed to preserve your precious guitar tone as it passes to your pedals and amplifier.

The onboard synthesizer is triggered by your single note guitar playing and can translate your solos and licks into something even a skilled keyboardist would marvel at. The nuances of finger vibrato combined with your vocal expression take your guitar solos and licks from earthbound to mile high in an instant.

TALKBOX SYNTH’s Adaptive Tone combines EQ (equalization) with compression, de-esser and gate to automatically control the timbre and shape of your sound, ensuring every note is pristinely clear and intelligible. When the crowd hears exactly what you’re singing, they can join in – and there’s nothing better than that!

You’re a singer first and foremost, so getting knee-deep in technology probably isn’t what your gig calls for. That’s why TALKBOX SYNTH automatically sets your mic gain to the optimal level, allowing you to concentrate on giving your best performance – night after night.

TALKBOX SYNTH gives you the option of either plug-in power via the optional POWERPLUG 9 V adapter – or 4x AA battery operation for those occasions when you’re just doing a short set, or house power isn’t readily available

Whether you’re playing at the local tavern or at a huge festival, your vocals always deserve special attention. TALKBOX SYNTH gives you the tools to always sound your best with talkbox and synth effects, state-of-the-art reverb, and Adaptive Tone – all in an ultra-simple stompbox designed to elevate your performance to the next level.
