              Sekova Model No. 99 Deluxe Alternado Fuzz Tone Expander Unit:

              Looks a lot like a stompbox, but actually requires an external footswitch for activation.

                  I'm surprised I'm the first one bringing up the "talk box" offerings.

                  I guess everything was actuated by a pedal, pretty much. But I'm assuming this thread addresses effects that aren't self contained in a loop or their own box.

                      Vocoder in the beginning (analog)
                      A talkbox has a similar sound to a vocoder, but the effect is achieved in a different manner.

                        I'm not seeing it.?. And anyway, I think the range of products and their use in classic recordings earns the "talk box" stuff it's own mention.

                        When I was a kid, maybe fourteen or fifteen (I was already a nerd), I built my own talk box from parts I had around. The effects send on my amp went to a small amp that powered a speaker that I duct tapped into a funnel. A tube ran from the end of the funnel into my mouth. Then I plugged the mic into the effects return. Very rough version of the idea but I had some fun with it.

                          Talk box vs vocoder. Although the principles are different, (sound) effect is similar.
                          At the end, it all depends down to the inventiveness of the performers who use the instrument.

                            HAH! How did I miss this? It's one of a pair of talkbox enclosures made by Bob Heil for Peter Frampton I guess in the early 1970's. 1981 I was tasked with making them work again, and so they did until their owner started using and selling custom-made pyramid shaped talkboxes under the "Framptone" name. Biggest problem was threads that were supposed to mate with a screw-in hi frequency driver were totally skunked. A friend who did auto machine shop work suggested fitting them with copper plumbing pipe adapters and PC-7 epoxy. Worked perfectly well, that's what you're seeing in this photo. January 2005 I spotted one of them on display in the Hollywood Florida House of Blues.

                            This isn't the future I signed up for.

                              The E-Bow got its mention, but that set off a nerve way back in my brain. Didn't I read about some gadget in the 1970's called the Gizmotron? Gizmo for short? Guitar Player covered it back then. Indeed, it got a mention on this website 14 Jun 2014 by the great waldo. https://music-electronics-forum.com/...ge2#post529398

                              Apparently Gizmotron is a motorized brush that fits on the guitar over the bridge. When the player switches it on, rotating bristles stroke the strings then it's a matter of hammering-on and palm-muting to get the chords & notes intended. 10cc's hit songwriting team Lol Creme and Kevin Godley are credited with having developed it in the mid 70's and there is a current version offered for sale.

                              Gizmotron website: https://www.gizmotron.com/aboutus

                                FWIW, Hammond necklace reverbs were not any more mechanical/less electronic than Accutronics/Gibbs etc. reverb pans. Principle is the same:
                                Electric motor excites a torsional wave that slowly propagates along the springs and induces a delayed signal voltage in the receiving generator. Multiple wave reflections add to reverb.
