How did (does) Peter Frampton get that voice out of singing through what appears!


Question: The "garden hose" is a talk box.

The talk box guitar effect was created by Doug Forbes and made popular by Peter Frampton. The song most famous for it is maybe his "Show Me The Way".

How he uses it:

In the talk box effect, amplified sound is actually fed via a tube into the performer's mouth and is then shaped by the performer's lip, tongue, and mouth movements before being picked up by a microphone.

In contrast, a vocoder effect is produced entirely electronically. The background riff from "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi is a well-known example.

"California Love" by 2Pac and Roger Troutman is a more recent recording featuring a talk box fed with a synthesizer instead of guitar. The Zapp song "Computer Love" is another famous talk box example:

The overuse of the "T-Pain effect" recently is NOT a talk box, however - that is actually a software-based pitch correction device.

Vocoder

It's a synthesizer from a foot pedal at the base of the mic.

Bowser great answer except you mean "Do you feel like we do" for the song

I believe Rufus's "Tell Me Something Good" and Lipps Inc.'s "Funkytown" also used the same effect. It was considered to be pretty cool for the time.
