Does anybody know what kind of wah is being used for the lead breaks in Steely Dan's "Haitian Divorce"? I think I've also heard that wah sound on an Iced Earth song, and I think Dave Gilmour uses one towards the end of "Keep Talking", as well.
Just curious.

I always assumed it was a Talkbox that was used.

Yes, I always thought it was a vocoder, the first guitarist i heard using one was Peter Frampton.
