The TC Helicon Talkbox Synth Pedal is a Talkbox and Vocoder pedal featuring Reverb, Pitch Correction and Adaptive Tone with controls for Style, Correction and Reverb. The Talkbox Synth offers classic and new sounds to any guitarist from instantly recognisable talkbox to electronic "talking robot" effects.
Even when the effect is off, Talkbox Synth vastly improves your core vocal sound using Adaptive Tone, Reverb and Pitch Correction. The XLR output of Talkbox Synth allows you to send your polished vocal mic output to the PA whilst also outputting the on-board effects when you hit the footswitch. The guitar input and output circuitry is designed to preserve your precious guitar tone as it passes to your pedals and amplifier.
Adaptive EQ, compression, de-ess, and gate automatically control the timbre and shape of your vocal, ensuring that every note you sing is clean and clear. Transparent Auto-Chromatic Pitch Correction nudges your pitch to the nearest semitone and Reverb simulates a physical space, allowing your voice to fit into the music perfectly.
The main features of the TC Helicon Talkbox Synth Pedal include:
TC-Helicon Talkbox SynthQuite simply, this pedal gives you that iconic sound without all the faff & expense. Show Me The Way, Livin' On A Prayer, Rocky Mountain Way, Haitian Divorce & many more are right there & easy to nail. Having played around with it for a while there is only one setting I am likely to use : setting 3 Classic + which gives you that classic talkbox sound but lets the dry guitar come through as well. This setting alone is worth shelling out for. It's easy to set up & use. OK so it's an effect you won't use often ; a little is enough, but it really nails the classic sound & is extremely easy to use. This is the most fun I have had with a pedal since ever. Highly recommended.
I was looking for some more interesting vocal outboard effects. I’ve got the vintage Digitech Talker, Mininova vocoder and was pretty keen to try out this Talkbox emulation. I’ve been feeding it line input from synthesizers and using a condenser microphone. Different voices on the synths give the Talkbox effect a slightly different subtle edge when you use it. This is possibly due to the difference in waveforms from the synths sounds but... wow! What a great little experimental tool for the studio or live use
