I figured it out, i built one myself, and so basically, ur guitar is plugged into a small amp, which is in a soundproof area, so it doesnt ruin the effect, then the sound from that amp travels down a tube into your mouth, and the mic is picking up that sound and sending it to an amp, which is the real amplifier. so your mouth lets out the sound to the mic, but you can control the wah with the shape of your mouth.

Wait, what is the mic plugged into?

The mic is plugged into my normal guitar amp and a vocal processor.

The instructions ato make this are above but the way it works is really quiten simple.

There is a little guitar amp in the cooler and it is in there to keep the sound contained. The sound comes through the tube up to your mouth. You then use a microphone to capture the guitar sound coming out of your mouth.

To make words move your lips like you are saying a word and you are done. The guitar is talking.

If you have an iphone or ipod touch You can kind of simulate this with a great app called Talk Box.

I hope this helps.
