Quality is good, sound is great fun! Just sounds like the real deal. If you want one because of Slash's talkbox sound heard in his Live era concerts....this is more or less the same flare and texture. Would be great if MXR gave you a cloth or something to clean the tube after the sound. Beware: this box need a microphone in order to amplify the sound. Otherwise, the sound is well audible as coming out of the box, but it's not coming out of your amplifier! So you either put a microphone in front of your mouth and amplify with a PA system, or the microphone goes in the audio card if you need the talkbox sound to be recorded (which is quite easy to do as the sound is grainy and present). The pipe that goes into the mouth could have some protection for your tongue and teeth, because at higher volumes i found it a bit hurting my mouth for the air pressure. Not a big deal, just saying....Anyway, good product, lots of fun!
