[[File:Peter Frampton's Talk Box-3-2.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Peter Frampton]]'s talk box]]
 
A '''talk box''' (also spelled '''talkbox''' and '''talk-box''') is an [[effects unit]] that allows musicians to modify the sound of a [[musical instrument]] by shaping the frequency content of the sound and to apply speech sounds (in the same way as singing) onto the sounds of the instrument. Typically, a talk box directs sound from the instrument into the musician's mouth by means of a plastic tube adjacent to a vocal microphone. The musician controls the modification of the instrument's sound by changing the shape of the mouth, "vocalizing" the instrument's output into a microphone.

In 1939, [[Alvino Rey]], amateur radio operator W6UK, used a [[Throat microphone|carbon throat microphone]] wired in such a way as to modulate his electric steel guitar sound. The mic, originally developed for military pilot communications, was placed on the throat of Rey's wife Luise King (one of [[The King Sisters]]), who stood behind a curtain and mouthed the words, along with the guitar lines. The novel-sounding combination was called "Singing Guitar", and employed on stage and in the movie ''Jam Session'', as a "novelty" attraction, but was not developed further.
 
Rey also created a somewhat similar-sounding "talking" effect by manipulating the tone controls of his Fender electric guitar, but the vocal effect was less pronounced.<ref name="recforums.prosoundweb.com">[http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/m/347458/23481/0///0/#msg_347458 ProSoundWeb.

===Sonovox===
Another early voice effect using the same principle of the throat as a filter was the '''Sonovox''', invented by Gilbert Wright in 1939.<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://wwwpatents.google.com/patentspatent/US2273078|title=Means and method for producing sound effects}}</ref> Instead of a throat microphone modulating a guitar signal, it used small [[transducers]] attached to the performer's throat to produce sounds that the mouth shapes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wendycarlos.com/vocoders.html|title=Wendy Carlos Vocoder Q&A|last=Twomey|website=wendycarlos.com}}</ref> The Sonovox was marketed and promoted by the Wright-Sonovox company, an affiliate of the Free & Peters advertising agency.
 
The Sonovox was used in many radio station IDs and [[jingle]]s produced by [[JAM Creative Productions]] and the [[PAMS]] advertising agency of [[Dallas]], Texas. [[Lucille Ball]] made one of her earliest film appearances during the 1930s in a [[Pathé Newsreel]] demonstrating the Sonovox.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britishpathe.com/video/machine-made-voices|title=Machine Made Voices!|first=British|last=Pathé|website=britishpathe.com}}</ref>
 
The first use in music was a score by Ernst Toch in the Paramount Picturefilm "''The Ghost Breakers"'', in June 1940.<ref>Letter from Gilbert Wright to Melville Clark, 28 April 1940.</ref> The Sonovox was used, with an opening credit, for the spirit voices in the 1940 comedy film ''[[You'll Find Out]]''. It was used to produce the "voice" of the anthropomorphic train Casey Jr. in the 1941 animated films ''[[The Reluctant Dragon (1941 film)|The Reluctant Dragon]]'' and, most famously, ''[[Dumbo]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boingboing.net/2019/02/08/watch-lucille-ball-demo-a-1939.html|title=Watch Lucille Ball demo a 1939 ancestor of the "talk box" famously used by Peter Frampton|first=David|last=Pescovitz|work=BoingBoing|date=February 8, 2019|access-date=January 18, 2021}}</ref> and was also used for the "talking piano" in a children's record issued on Capitol Records entitled ''[[Sparky's Magic Piano]]''.

[[Stevie Wonder]] gave the talk box its first national television prominence, performing a medley of The Carpenters’Carpenters' "[[(They Long To Be) Close To You]]" and The Jackson 5's "[[Never Can Say Goodbye]]", allboth via a Kustom Bag, live on the [[David Frost]] show in 1972. The performance was later sampled on Frank Ocean's "[[Blonde (Frank Ocean album)|Close To You]]". [[Mike Pinera]] from [[Iron Butterfly]] used it in 1970.<ref>https://youtube.com/-pkdlqqLAFk?si=066JHpZ4fgvCa59i&t=2726</ref>

[[David Gilmour]] of [[Pink Floyd]], who automatically doubles his guitar leads by singing them as he plays (whether on mic or not), was an obvious candidate for both the talk box and the vocoder, experimenting with merging voice and instrument into a single unified sound. The effect was employed during the lengthy guitar solo sections of "Raving and Drooling" and "You've Got to Be Crazy" on the [[Pink Floyd 1974 tours|1974 tour]], which would eventually become "[[Sheep (Pink Floyd song)|Sheep]]" and "[[Dogs (Pink Floyd song)|Dogs]]" on the ''[[Animals (Pink Floyd album)|Animals]]'' album.

===Heil high-powered talk box===
The first high-powered talk box was developed by [[Bob Heil]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thehub.musiciansfriend.com/gear-pioneers/bob-heil-master-of-game-changing-microphone-technology|title=A Conversation with Bob Heil—the Master of Game-Changing Microphone Technology – The HUB|first=Marty|last=Paule|website=The HUB from Musician's Friend}}</ref> HeilThe camedevice up withwas the first ''high-powered talk box'' that could be reliable when used on high-level rock stages. His first Heil talk box was built for [[Joe Walsh]]'s [[Barnstorm (band)|Barnstorm]] tour. Heil and Walsh, both avid ham radio operators (K9EID and WB6ACU, respectively), along with Walsh's guitar tech "Krinkle", combined a 250-watt JBL driver and suitable hi-pass filter which was used for Walsh's single "[[Rocky Mountain Way (song)|Rocky Mountain Way]]". Walsh gives credit to Bill West, an electrical engineer, Nashville steel guitarist and first husband of country-music legend [[Dottie West]], for inventing the talk box for him in a 2006 interview with Howard Stern.
 
[[Pete Townshend]], in his 2012 autobiography ''[[Who I Am (book)|Who I Am]]'', claimed to have invented a version of the talk box during a Who tour of the US in 1976. "I built a speaker in a small box, attached a tube and put the tube in my mouth, allowing me to speak music."
 
In 1988, Heil sold the manufacturing rights to [[Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc.]], which currently buildsbuilt the Heil talk box to the exact standards that Heil designed in 1973. (Now out of production)<ref>{{cite web |title=HEIL TALK BOX - Dunlop |url=https://www.jimdunlop.com/heil-talk-box/ |website=Dunlop |access-date=18 August 2024}}</ref>
The classic rock artist [[Peter Frampton]] made extensive use of the talk box in his music. In an interview for the 1999 DVD ''Live in Detroit'', Frampton says he first heard the talk box in 1970 while sitting in on sessions for [[George Harrison]]'s ''[[All Things Must Pass]]''. While he sat next to Pete Drake in the album sessions at [[Abbey Road Studios]], he heard PeteDrake using it with a pedal steel guitar. Frampton said in the same interview that the sound it produced reminded him of an audio effect he loved listening to on [[Radio Luxembourg]] in the later 1960s. Frampton acquired one as a Christmas present from Bob Heil in 1974. It was a hand-built talk box in a fiberglass box using a 100-watt high-powered driver. This was the Heil talk box used for the ''[[Frampton Comes Alive]]'' tour and album.<ref>Lux, Joanna. and David Dayen [http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/30669/Peter_Frampton_More_Alive_Than_Ever.html ''"Peter Frampton: More Alive Than Ever"''] – [[G4 Media (TV company)|G4 Media]] – Thursday, 13 June 2002</ref><ref>Green, Douglas.
