INVENTOR OF THE TALK BOX ?

Check it! a pete frampton-style talk box on a steel guitar circa 1959


As far as i know this works sorta like a vocoder, the guitar is the carrier and the sound is literally blown into his mouth with the tube, then he modulates it with his mouth-hole and the mic picks up the crazee sound!

Also that set looks exactly like the one lurleen lumpkin plays on in that episode of the simpsons where homer becomes her manager (and hilarity ensues)
