Up for sale is an absolutely PRISTINE Digitech Talker pedal. These have been out of production for a few years, and are very difficult to find. Scuffed and incomplete examples have sold recently on ebay for $300-400. This one has only been taken out of the box to test for functionality and photos- that is it.
This is still inside the plastic bag, and comes in the complete original box with original power supply, manual, sticker, warranty card, info sheet and hang tag. The only thing missing is the purchase receipt!
You can use it with an amp and a PA simultaneously or one or the other via switchable modes. Does not require a tube like the Talkbox - just a mic and an instrument. Also does a great autofilter if you don't have a mic.
This is one of the most heavy-duty pedals I've ever seen - made of thick stainless steel, with gripping rubber pads on the bottom. Production date looks to be May of 2000, but this thing has seen almost zero use.
The coolest feature (I think) is the Autotalker mode, which lets you play guitar, or whatever, and it immediately engages the effect if you sing or say something into the microphone. The first time I saw one of these in action was when I saw THRONES live.
$400 or trade for amps / guitars.

The Digitech Talker™ is the first revolutionary product to utilize the Advanced Vocal Synthesis technology. This technology is the product of our extensive research into physical modeling over the last two years. Singing or talking into a microphone while playing a guitar or bass, creates the intelligible words and phrases, allowing your instrument to actually talk or sing. Unlike anything you've ever heard before, the Digitech Talker™ offers the most advanced technology to hit the guitar market since the introduction of the Whammy™ Pedal.
Program descriptions:
NuVo: This is the most intelligible program. Play a chord and speak or sing into the mic and you will be able to hear the words clearly.
NuWah: (Guitar effect only, no vocal needed). This is an automatic wah feature that is somewhat like an envelope follower but the wah is very human sounding.
TazMania: (Use instrument and mic, or mic alone). This program uses white noise to generate a devilish voice. The gate feature is active so that the user can switch back and forth between the effect and the guitar sound without pressing the Bypass switch.
TalkBox: This program features vocoder which has been EQ'd to sound more like the old Talkboxes such as the "Golden Throat", Heil "Talk Box", etc.
Alien: This program features an old style vocoder or alien sounding effect.
AutoTalk: This is an automatic vocoder-type effect. Play your guitar with the effect on (you'll hear the normal guitar sound), then sing or say something into the mic. This will automatically switch into the AutoTalk effect. When you finish vocalizing, the Talker will automatically switch back to your guitar sound.
