Amazing Talkbox
When you get one of these, you will have weeks of fun figuring out how to vocalize words like Peter Frampton with everything from guitars, to synthesizers and more. Really fun to route audio out of your DAW into it and record it back through the microphone. Way too much fun.

"Time to activate these 2 badboys again!"
In this image post from The Bloody Beetroots' official Tumblr, you can see a Banshee 2 Talk Box toward the top right. Bob Rifo used Rocktron Banshee 2 Talk Box for some records of the second album and for The Bloody Beetroots Live.
"My setup is simple—most of it is in the box. I'm an Ableton guy, and I use all of the usual suspects like Native Instruments, Spectrasonics, Arturia, u-he, Xfer etc. I work primarily on Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 ohm headphones and use Adam Audio monitors + sub for reference. I use a MOTU Track 16 and Apollo Twin Duo, I have a few midi keyboards, a Nord Electro 5d, a Neumann u87ai mic, a Banshee Talkbox and a bunch of other stuff. When I need any kind of high-end gear, or I need to record horn sections etc, I go to a few different studios around New York City that have some amazing gear and rooms."
“This is a pretty sweet pedal – it allows me to have the Talk Box signal and the amp signal at the same time, and if I don’t want that I just click a button and it goes to just the Talk Box. I use it on White Trash Millionaire and Me And Mary Jane.”
Lucio Maia uses the Rocktron Banshee 2 Talk Box in his pedalboard setup, as detailed in the Pedalmaniacs article. His gear setup adapts to his solo projects, Maquinado and Almaz, as well as his work with Nação Zumbi.
The tube is visible in this photo of DiVinCi from the official Genki Instruments Wave product page. It is also specified as part of his live rig on his Kit page.
The instrument appears on the list of instruments on official artist's website (http://olszak.pl/).
