The Wah part in that song the Zoo reminds me of the wah part in the song Man in a Box .Alice in Chains with Jerry Cantrel i do believe it was.

I always thought that part in the Zoo was one of those voice tube things like Frampton and Perry use.

A Heil "Talk Box". Not much to them, a suitable wattage midrange compression driver with a "coupler" for the hose tube screwed onto the throat & a capacitor, plus the footswitch. I made my own. Haven't used it in a few years, might drag it out this weekend & rattle my remaining teeth around in my head. Cheers

These newer "Banshee" type talk box work on a different principal to the "Heil" type that all the old school guys used. Note the control knobs on the Banshee. It has a low wattage amp/mic & pre amp circuitry etc so as to plug between the guitar & amp. It puts a "low volume" sound into your mouth.
The "Heil" type operated by taking the place of the speaker load on a tube amp, so you've got usually either a 50 or 100 watt amp blasting up into your mouth (the amp has to be driven hard for best sound). The sound from your mouth is then picked up by a microphone for re-amplification. For best sound you have to get used to breathing either in or out through your mouth whilst playing notes. This shows why one generally doesn't hear any super-long talk box passages,,, it rattles your head.
Peter Frampton's talk box
