Sonovox Grandfather Talk Box Dates 'Frampton Comes Alive' 35 years
Is Peter Frampton famous, or is his 'I Wanna Fuck You' squeezed out from the device the famous one when he makes his Talk Box (no fucking “wah wah wah” [sic -- no one ever writes a third wah in wha wha]
and asks thousands of underage girls in the auditorium this question
night after night -- you should go back and do your research. It's
really an easy timeline)
on “Show Me the Way,”
along with Joe Walsh, Bon Jovi, Pete Drake and a host of others.
The
effect was introduced by Kustom [sic -- just totally wrong], and
research digs up even earlier effects used on TV and in movies.
In 1939, before Frampton Was Alive, a steel guitarist named Alvino Rey invented a talking guitar by wiring a pilot carbon mic in reverse, us becoming speaker, placing it in his throat, thus becoming short of breath.
