How much are guitar talk boxes on average?

Question

just wondering...cause my 16th birthday is around the corner and familiy usually just gives me cash or brings me out shopping and i'm considering getting either a talk box or a jimi hendrix cry baby wah.

so how much are talk boxes? what brands make good talk boxes? got any links?

thanks

Answer 1

Danelectro make a talk box its $130 roughly, they also do they're version of the cry baby, which is probably cheaper than an actually cry baby.

their site is http://www.danelectro.com

the talk box is an old vintage effect so you're going to have to hunt around a bit if you want to find anything else.

but in any case before you buy anything try and have a shot of using them ,so have a test run at a music shop.

Answer 2

Yeah, they're about the same as a wah, I hear that it needs a separate amp for it to work properly though, that might need to be taken into consideration.

Here's a link to musician's friend. It's their listings for talk boxes and right after that is the wah. I find the wah pedals to be MUCH more versitile. Rocktron I hear is great for talk boxes. Good luck.
