In today's video, Bruce and Sam are testing Talk Boxes! They are comparing the M222 by MXR and the Heil HT-1 by Dunlop.
Welcome our new show "Board Or Bin" where we test pedals against one another, in order to get the ultimate guitar tone and build the Golden Pedal Board.
Only one of these pedals will make it to our mighty Golden Board. The other one will go in the bin.

Best way I can explain how to get consonants on the talkbox is to over-enunciate them (almost as if you're explaining something to an idiot for the 15,000th time).

hi i have a question regarding the safety aspect of the talk box i really want one but i had a brain haemorrhage back in 2007 and i have a coil fitted in my head essentially keeping me alive and you said it resonates in your head a fair bit now im thinking would this effect the coil or isnt it as bad as im thinking ok your not a dr or a brain surgeon i get that just wanted to ask your opinion as you have used it hope to read your reply

Question- I need to keep my main signal going through my amp. Can the mxr be setup in a stereo configuration? I was thinking of splitting the signal prior to the talk with a dual output pedal.

Hahah this episode and the edit were hilarious!!

@MartinBlasick

Thanks guys. I’ve got a session coming up that requires talks. The MXR will be given to me at the session.

If you use a modeling amp, the MXR is likely the same as the Heil because it too will have the power tube section in the sound

I have used the MXR for a couple of years now and I love it BUT on that ROCKING side I DO struggle getting that bite from it. Thanks for the idea of a compressor or fuzz in the front. I just turned it to 11 and used the volume on my humbucker but that might get that kerchow so to speak.I wouldn't bin either of them. Do you feel like I do? lol

Both are good, I like the Heil better. I wonder about reducing the tube before it enters your mouth. Would it make it more manageable physically and also increase your ability to enunciate more sounds? The guy at

My buddy who happens to be awesome on the talk box used a splitter and a dedicated Amp so he could hear both I think the directions come with box he sounded awesome on those shoes.

MRX talk box on the board.. has a much warmer tone. The Heil is slightly pokier. Both great though and you two are having too much fun!

The Heil is the classic Peter Frampton talk box sound. The MXR has a softer more manageable sound. If you were layering talk box sounds or using it subtly you would use the MXR. If you want an in your face solo talk box sound you’d use the Heil. I’d have the Heil, just so that I could play Livin’ On A Prayer (Bon Jovi) and Kickstart My Heart (Mötley Crüe).

Can you use either one on a pedal board chain?

@romanp.4319 3 жыл бұрын

Basically MXR is guitar/effect-pedals send into the tube while Heil Box is „the whole“ sound of the Amp send into the tube.

@michaelmckenna9022 4 жыл бұрын

I have both. The MRX is more convenient for practicing, but The Heil has more output. I am more partial to the Heil mainly because I'm a fan of Bob Heil who is also a fellow amateur radio enthusiast. He also manufactures top of the line microphones . Using a talkbox compliments your guitar skills, it's not going to make any talentless people rich.
