    Guitar Talkbox Effects and Vocal Polishing
    From "Do You Feel Like We Do" to "Sweet Emotion" to "Livin' on a Prayer," TC-Helicon's Talkbox Synth delivers classic Frampton-esque guitar effects — without the awkward hose-in-the-mouth stuff. But that's just the beginning. Onboard synth sounds and a guitar-triggered vocoder add electrifying robotic vocal effects to your single-note runs. This stompbox isn't just for guitarists, however. Vocalists will appreciate its built-in mic preamp and Adaptive Tone feature, as well as studio-grade reverbs and pitch correction. And its streamlined 3-knob interface is a cinch to use — you'll be up and running in seconds. The Talkbox Synth adds excitement to any performance.
    Vintage-style talkbox sounds with updated options
    The sound of an old-school vocoder is legendary, but the effect has a pretty narrow repertoire. TC Electronic has blown the lid off that problem with the Talkbox Synth. You get classic talkbox tones, but you also get more modern vocoder sounds, a chorused mono synth, a chunky square wave synth voice, detuned synths, and more — all selectable with the large style knob on top of the unit. Want to customize the parameters? Simple, just select your style and hold the tone button while rotating the correction knob — left for quieter levels and right for louder levels of that effect.
    Spot-on vocals made easier
    Looking for a little help with the vocal melody? The Talkbox Synth Stompbox's correction dial is the simplest of the three knobs to use. It goes from off (all the way counterclockwise) to 100% (all the way clockwise). At the top-center position, the effect delivers nuanced pitch support without sounding artificial or unnatural. Note: Correction is NOT active while the Synth or Talkbox effects are engaged.
    Go big — or not — with reverb options
    Sometimes you're going to wow the crowd with lofty hall-sized reverb, and sometimes a more intimate, small-room feel is what's desired. The Talkbox Synth Stompbox accommodates everything from no reverb to Room, Club, and Hall effects — with nuanced adjustment available within each space selection range. And Reverb is unaffected by the status of the Talkbox Synth effect, so you don't have to fear a jarring loss of reverb while turning the talkbox or synth effect on or off.
    Rugged build quality and road-ready power and I/O options
    Ready to hit the road? A tough metal housing and studio-grade footswitch make this stompbox ready to go on tour. The default mode for the high-quality footswitch is latching style, but it can be changed to momentary operation by holding the tone button while you're powering up the pedal. To power the unit, you have the choice of using either 4 AA batteries or a 9-volt power supply. The Talkbox Synth Stompbox has a mic input, XLR out for your PA or powered speaker, guitar in for your guitar cable, and guitar thru to send your guitar signal out via 1/4" TS cable.
    The talkbox — a brief history
    If you've listened to
    Frampton Comes Alive
    , you're already familiar with the talkbox effect. These unusual devices use your mouth as a filter to shape the sound of your guitar. A talkbox consists of a box with a built-in speaker. The speaker feeds your guitar's signal into a plastic hose that you place in your mouth. Then you put your mouth near a microphone, make some vowel sounds (or speak complete sentences if you're really good) and voilà — the classic talkbox effect! While guitarists at Sweetwater enjoy making unique sounds with talkboxes, none of us are too thrilled about putting a plastic hose in our mouth. That's why we're stoked by the Talkbox Synth. It achieves those classic sounds without the unwieldy hose.
