collapse expand iconDescription

MXR's M222 Talk Box brings a legendary effect into the modern age. This innovative pedal houses its own amplifier and speaker driver so you can achieve instantly recognizable talk box tones without a separate rig. The M222 Talk Box is equipped with volume, tone and gain controls to shape your voice and add texture for maximum sonic impact on stage or in the studio.

Built-In Amp Provides Convenience

The M222 Talk Box's built-in amp and speaker driver eliminate the need to connect a separate amplifier, allowing for a compact, pedalboard-friendly setup. Now you can achieve the talk box's signature expressive character anywhere without lugging around extra gear.

Tone-Sculpting Controls Open Up Creative Possibilities

Unlike vintage talk boxes that offer limited tonal control, the M222 Talk Box provides volume, tone and gain knobs to customize your talk box tone. Add a touch of overdrive to full-on distortion with the gain control for extra clarity and definition. Shape your tone with the tone control for an open, airy quality or a more neutral sound. Get the exact level you need with the volume control.

Updated Classic Effect Used by Legends

The talk box has been used by famous musicians in nearly every genre of music. MXR has fine-tuned this legendary effect for modern players while maintaining its signature sound. Add a new trick to your bag and join the ranks of talk box pioneers.

Road-Ready Construction

Like all MXR pedals, the M222 Talk Box is built to endure the rigors of touring in a sturdy metal housing. It includes an 18-volt power supply, 8-foot surgical tube and mic clip so you have everything you need to start using this iconic effect right out of the box.

    This is a really interesting pedal. It takes a lot of practice to get used to and it's not for everyone. If you can master it you'll be doing Bon Jovi and Frampton solos all day! #sweepstakes

    The talk box is super fun, yet have it challenges! You have to lock in on your technique to produce the best professional sounding results! If you ever wanted that Teddy Riley or Zapp and Roger sound, the talk box is for you!

  • Difficult to master but a tremendous product

    Needed a talkbox in a pinch. GC had one, let us purchase online and held on to it for us for pickup. Used it a day later on 3 gigs. Perfect!

    I picked this up at the Guitar Center in Boston while I was staying there for my guitar sessions camp at the Berklee College of Music...and I do not regret that decision. If you want to play Livin' on a Prayer, Man in the Box, Beverly Hills or anything else like that, this is a must!!

    What exactly is in the box? Power adapter? Any patch cables? Is it just the pedal and the tube? Thanks

    You could "use" it. It just requires a line level signal, a 1/4" out from the keyboard will do it. I have no idea what it would sound like.

    This is a talk box, so it is mainly used with a guitar. It may not work with a keyboard.

    I used to use a talkbox with my guitar. Can I use this specific talkbox with a keyboard? Are these interchangeable between instruments?
