RF wireless transmitter?
You can buy them cheep ($30-$40) somewhere...pretty bad quality. Its just a crude wireless transmitter, no reciever nessecary (use a radio). I've also seen schematics online, but you have to make some sort of inductor ususally.
It was done with a Tonebender which picked up a radio station by accident. Morello thought it was cool and used it for the song.
An early mix even had the radio signal throughout the entire song, but in the final version you can only hear it at the end if I'm right.
ohhhh hahaha i read that wrong. I thought he tuned the radio to his guitar signal...
Well in that case, read all of hte posts that say "HELP I'M GETING RADIO CHANELS!" and remove the blocking caps/resistors that people tell you to add :-D :-D :-D
Another way is to accidently use a speaker cable for a guitar cable. I was sitting in my studio one night and my bass amp started picking up the CB radios from the truckers. Scared the heck out of me I was sittng there trying to figure a part out and "AHH, YEAH ... LOOKS LIKE WERE'RE GONNA GET A LOT OF SNOW ON THE PASS .. OVER..."
I it was at that point that I discovered that I was using the cord that goes from my bass head to the cab as a guitar cable from my muff to the amp.
