Been researching all your talkbox options on the market today? Well Brian Clark at musicianwave.com has done the work for you with his in-depth review article “The 5 Best Talk Boxes of 2023. Brian breaks down the pros and cons of the most common talkboxes with feature and cost comparisons, and direct links to buy your best option.
We are delighted to be included on this list and to have Brian recognize the technical excellence of the TalkStar. We are well aware that the other talkbox options are much less pricey, however they also do not produce nearly the same clean and powerful full range sound when used with a synthesizer. To achieve this result, the TalkStar employs a high efficiency custom horn driver combined with our custom analog power amplifier supplying plenty of power! Our EDGER and TONE features also help shape the sound perfectly for clear articulation. All of this is supplemented by the custom blue LED system that is activated by the sound, showing through the beautiful clear acrylic case – making your performance come to life!
Anyone who plays talkbox or has tried to knows, it is not easy and there are several unusual techniques required to master it. This is why we developed the Talkbox Master Class which comes free with every TalkStar. This is the ONLY comprehensive online training program to learn how talkbox works, where it came from, how to use and record it – PLUS learning to program the perfect synth patch or simply download one from our library of amazing patches for most synths or VSTs that are typically used for talkboxing.
Although we designed the TalkStar specifically for synth use, it is absolutely great with guitar as well. We have TalkStar users around the world using guitar, saxophone wind controllers, and even theramin!! However, we always tell guitar players to save the money and go with the MXR or Banshee as they work great – as they are just designed for guitar use.
