As for the first vid sounding naff, a lot has to do with the way you use it. The Heil can sound like that too but if you practice articulating the sound properly, it sounds infinitely better. I find that taking the sound and shaping it at the back of your throat produces the classic Sambora-esque talkbox tone as opposed to the hollow, weak-sounding effect that comes from shaping the sound at the front of the mouth.
