- The Heil Talkbox is one of those effects that was never really copied too much. In fact, I can't even recall too many other talk boxes out there. The pedal is super simple to use, but you need to have a PA to get the full effect, and if you can't hear the sound coming from your monitors, it can be a bit useless as you won't really be hearing much. The pedal is about as simple as you can get. Plug it in, put the tube in your mouth, start singing in the mic and play.
- Utilización

- The pedal is very solid. There's really not much to go wrong with this thing. I mean, just look at it. What is going to go wrong? The tube may break, but you can pick up extra tubing from home depot. Although I don't really recommend that as you gotta stick this thing in your mouth, and that was my biggest issue with this thing. I'm hardly a germophobe, but considering all of the different bacteria and viruses floating around in a confined space, the last thing I want to do is constantly stick my mouth on a tube that does nothing but collects the different diseases out there. It's a great way to get sick, and if you're sick, you can't perform for the audience.
- Calidad Sonora

- The sound is good, but there's not much to compare it to. I mean, you play your guitar, you make funny voices through the tube, and sing at the same time. It delivers a neat sound, but there's nothing you can use it for aside from maybe some Bon Jovi cover band or something similar. Not many people utilized this effect because it's fairly inefficient and a pain to use unless you're a huge touring band.
- Opinión Global

- The pedal is good, and if you're in need of that talk box kind of effect, this is what you want to get. I just don't think music really needs this today. Aside from maybe a few Bon Jovi songs or whatever, what else are you going to use this on? If you can find an answer to that question, by all means, by this! However, if you're not sure if you'll ever use this, I recommend just not buying it.

- This is a talk box. It works by connecting between an amplifier and a cabinet. It essentially is a speaker - powered by a horn - that is connected to a vinyl tube. Insert the tube in your mouth, play some overdriven/distorted guitar, move your lips and throat as if you were forming words and voila! Instant talking guitar.
The talkbox is connected after the amplifier with a 1/4" speaker cable, and connects before the cabinet with another 1/4" speaker cable. It has a switch to either engage or bypass the talkbox. With the talkbox engaged, the speaker cabinet is disabled.
I can't think of any features I would want added for such an effect. - Utilización

- It's very easy. The manual offers a little bit of advice and some warnings on how to properly use the talkbox, but for the most part, it's really about experimentation. Just avoid amplifiers that are too powerful or set too loudly and you should be fine.
- Calidad Sonora

- This is generally a guitar effect, but it could technically be used with an electrified instrument.
It's fun to do all the Pete Frampton/Alice in Chains stuff with it, or write your own songs that use the talkbox effect.
If you plan on recording with it, a pop filter between before the microphone is a must. - Opinión Global

- I think it's a good value for the money. In the nearly ten years I've owned one I only ever had it go down once because the horn blew. It's not a very expensive nor difficult repair, and is probably inevitable with this type of equipment.
If you're looking for a talkbox, and by that I mean a real talkbox, look no further than this one. You're much better off with the real-deal over a talkbox emulator. Not only does it look cooler, but it sounds so much better.
If the vinyl tube it come with gets dirty, replacements can be picked up from Home Depot for relatively cheap money.
