Please help me out. I decided to invest in a Rocktron Banshee talk box but I'm confused on what I need for it to work. I already have a guitar and some cheap amp (I think it's around 5 watts or so) but what else do I need? I heard people saying that I need another amp, and an effects pedal as well but then I heard someone say that all you need is a guitar and cable.
Now that I think of it, you may want to invest in a new amp. I just have a cheap 10 watt and it sounds pretty bad. Why invest in effects if you are just going to handicap them with a cheap amp.
While most talk boxes are connected between the amplifier and a separate speaker, the Banshee has its own built-in preamp and 5 watt amplifier. The upside: you won't need to buy more than what you have now. The downside to using it as an in-line effect instead of on a dedicated channel is that you will get feedback at higher volumes. Here's the owner's manual so you know what you're getting into.
