Members SeanGuitar Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hey guys, I know this is a little bit different as it seems we are always talking about guitar effects but I was wondering if you know any good effects units to run vocals through live. Really I am just looking for reverb and delay effects as I like a lot of kind of atmospheric stuff and I would like to be able to use delay live on my vocals. It would be a plus if the effects unit could also be hooked up to use for as a guitar effect too but my main concern is that it can be used with vocals. Being able to control it with a footswitch if it is a rack unit (I'm guessing they usually are?) would be a plus too. The vocalist in my old band had a multi effects unit that ran harmonies and compression, eq, reverb, delay, pitch shift etc but I am just looking for a really nice sounding delay / reverb unit for a low price. I know they can usually run these effects on a board at shows but I would like to be able to tweak the effects and adjust them for different songs / during a song. Which brings me to my next question... anyone who uses vocal effects processors live, is it usually a pain? It always seemed like venues didn't like setting up effects in the vocal signal at shows when I would play with my old band. A lot of the time they wouldn't even let us use the vocal processor because they would rather just run stuff on the board. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am really looking for a lower end item since I am paying for college atm (read ~$200 or less would be nice). Thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 If you mainly want delay/reverb and some versatility, I've seen several people use a MagicStomp for vocals (as well as guitar, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultra.Fuzz Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 There are those Digitechs (Vocal300 and VX400) you know? My vote goes for the Magic Stomp though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SeanGuitar Posted June 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 does that just have a 1/4" input so you would just use an adaptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultra.Fuzz Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 ? The Digitech ones have XLR IOs. The MagicStomp works in the send/return of the board, at least from what I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SeanGuitar Posted June 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 ah, I was talking about the magic stomp, I figured the others had xlr inputs since they are meant for this use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
