Wer und vor allem wann wurde die Talk Box erfunden? Frampton oder Troutman?

Ich dachte Frampton.

Wann, weiß ich auch nicht.

Heisst das Teil nicht "Voice-Box" ?!?!?

Anscheinend nicht eindeutig geklärt. 1969 von Kustom Electronics oder 1971 von Bob Heil.

"There is controversy over who invented the talking guitar device. Bob Heil has claimed he invented the talk box[2] but there is clearly prior art in the form of the Kustom Electronics device, "The Bag"[3], which is the same concept housed in a decorative bag slung over the shoulder like a wine bottle and sold in 1969, two years before Mr. Heil's Talk Box. The Bag is claimed to have been designed by Doug Forbes[4][5], who states that the exact same concept (horn driver attached to a plastic tube and inserted into the mouth) had previously been patented as an artificial larynx."

Peter Frampton hat sie jedenfalls nicht als erster benutzt.

"In 1973, Heil gave his talk box to Peter Frampton as a Christmas present. Frampton first heard the talk box when Stevie Wonder was using it for his upcoming album Music of My Mind."

Da Roger Troutman erst ab 1975 in Erscheinung trat kann er auch nicht der erste gewesen sein. Dann schon eher Stevie Wonder auf seinem 72er Album "Music of My Mind" (s.o.).
