Harley Benton Talk Box

It has the basic functionality. An input, some volume, and a speaker. The problem is that it sounds awful. And I mean really awful.

- 100-500Hz range is non-existant, but then a huge spike at 600Hz
- Very lacking in clarity
- You need to enable overdrive to get any volume
- Really, really high noise level

I'm building a better one myself from some small guitar amp and a decent mid-range compression driver. Same prize, better sound.

This is a brilliant product.
One can have hours of fun with this Talkbox and not just with a guitar.
It’s great build quality and great value for money 👍

I brought this on a whim really, I love the sound of the talk box and always wanted one.
The features are pretty simple and if you're using a synth (i'm using a microkorg) it goes LOUD, like REALLY LOUD so be careful of that.

When using with a guitar it sounds perfectly fine and recording hasn't been an issue at all. I'd recommend using a volume pedal before the talkbox so you can swell in notes too.

Overall, the product is great and works fine. It is rather heavy though but still feels really good quality,

Bought the talk box to experiment with it.
very happy with the quality and controls.
another Thomann success in enabling musicians without breaking the bank

If you want a talkbox just to experiment with this is your best choice.
Great features and sound quality.
Biggest drawback- a pretty wide diameter tube, might be a little bit hard to pronounce words for people with smaller mouths. there are some youtube guides on how to narrow a talkbox tube diameter.
Also pretty heavy to carry around and it does not have a bag so it makes it not ideal for moving it alot.

Other than that- flawless..

Sturdy, straight-forward construction with an added elegance (wood trim).
More importantly: great tone reproduction of the 70's talk-box sound (Jeff Beck, Frampton, Joe Walsh)
Not complicated to set-up and flexible enough to accommodate several signal path configurations. Great for studio and live applications.

What a great piece of gear! It's built like a tank, heavy and sturdy. great sound, awesome control deck and the plastic tube is the best so far I've tried. Cant be wrong, this is the TALK BOX, even better than the original EH golden throat I had

This is my first talkbox so I am in no way an expert but it sounds really good to me. And for this price its a great thing to ad to the studio just to have some fun with. Its really fun to experiment with different instruments and sounds, very intuitive but so much harder to pronunciate words than I expected.

Really amazing piece of gear and super easy to use !

What a great pedal. For a long time I wanted talk box and that is the one. Price is very fine not overprised. 5 stars
