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. [[File:Weezer - 2022154163929 2022-06-03 Rock am Ring - Sven - 1D X MK II - 1281 - B70I5835.jpg\|thumb\|[[Weezer]] guitarist [[Brian Bell]] with a talk box, the tube being attached to the microphone (2022)]] Line 25 ⟶ 26: 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.

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."

While he sat next to Pete Drake in the album sessions at [[Abbey Road Studios]], he heard ~~Pete~~Drake 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.
