The Talker came out in the Fall of 1997. I know because I was on the design team. IVL Technologies (in Victoria BC, Canada) was the company behind some of Digitech's products. (Notably the Vocalist and Whammy line of products.) We premiered/demoed a prototype at the NAMM show in Nashville in July '97 while we were still tweaking the presets because we were waiting for beta testers' feedback. I recall the Talker was in production for only a few years when it was dropped due to sagging sales and an unusually high price point (at that time) for a single-purpose floor pedal.
@@kvncnrd I didn't know they were using the Talker but I think it's fantastic. Creative artists like Daft Punk have, and are, really pushing the envelope when it comes to 'musical innovation-meets-technology' in ways designers of MI products never imagined.
Sheesh these things are going for like 2 thousand dollars on the used market now. Wish I would have picked one up a couple years back. Still happy with my WarpFactory though!
Hello :) I know this is not made anymore and that I can find it on eBay. But I was wondering if there are others pedals (still in production) that do the same job ?
Sorry I haven't been here for a while. It just doesn't work properly, and I was wondering where I could take it , or send it to get repaired. I live in Toronto Ontario Canada
U didnt play the settings constantly much while singing . U just tried each one with short chords n stuff n stopped playing , u shud like play non stop with each one so we can hear them better.
Then take the time and make a video--post a link here instead of complaining and not providing suggestions for improvement. Your comment is a bad example of a comment. Ive been using the web since before 1996 and I've made MUCH better comments that what you've said about video.
@@gimpyjwilliams Late to the party much? Asking someone to make a more constructive comment is not dumb. Why waste space giving your opinion when NO ONE AKED FOR IT is pointless especially if you give zero reasons for making it better. Peace.
