He does not use a tube at all. T-Pain's signature vocals in his songs are frequently confused as being a vocoder, but are rather the work of Auto-Tune software.
"Pain says he was inspired almost three years ago to use the Auto-Tune by Teddy Riley, the pioneering king of New Jack Swing, who used a vocoder.
"You gotta imagine I [grew] up with music around the time he was poppin'," T-Pain said. "It sounded like his verse was an instrument. ... Then I heard [Zapp singer Roger Troutman] on [2Pac's] 'California Love' — it was a wrap for me. ... I had been looking for that effect for a long time. That's me now. Remember back in the days when it was just music and it wasn't vocals at all? I was trying to make my vocals like an instrument 'cause I used to listen to straight instrumentals."
