I'm assuming you mean the crazy solo, right? It's a regular guitar, played with
a wah-wah pedal, & finally fed into a synthesizer doohicky called an 'envelope
folder.' I don't think Pete developed this doohicky, although he may have. I
suspect he was just playing around with the equipment he had (aren't we all!).
