Frampton, Peter

The “comedic” effect that became Frampton’s signature sound

“Ioccasionally have to listen to it [ Frampton Comes Alive], because it’s on the radio, and there’s some good playing on there. Why did my trademark talkbox never become a mainstream effect? Well, it’s a one-trick pony. A little goes a long way. It’s not something you want to overdo. It was a fad, but when I use it today I still get the same effect from the people. It’s funny, it’s comedic. It’s not meant to be serious!”
