Vocal effects? anybody use 'em?

crank the gain on a 58 then run it through a clean boost

I like a James Mercerish chorus on mine, plus reverb and compression, i just like to run my vocals through my pedalboard.

Zoothorns ftw.

I just like delay and reverb, sometimes fuzz.

I like using some reverse gated reverb sparingly, for more ambient passages. For recording, I prefer to double track most of my vocals and do the doubled track just slightly off with the first to get kind of a super short delay chorusy thing going on. To achieve that effect live, I usually just have a really short slap back setting dialed in on my mixer. I've always been interested in vocal effects though...I've been thinking about picking up one of those TC Helicon Voicetone Create pedals, they seem simple and good quality.

I saw one in B-stock for $175 which is much more reasonable than the $250 retail price

i use a Kaoss Pad.

oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I use my roland sp-404 for vocal effects sometimes, but it only has a 1/4" input and I'd prefer XLR. If I'm running vocals through the sp-404 I usually have two mics setup...one for the roland, and one straight into the mixer, and that's kind of a pain if I have to setup quickly...hence my interest in the TC-Helicon

I do the same with a 303.

My bandmate uses the Digitech Vocal 300. He uses it more for vocal distortion and filtering weirdness than echo & reverb, though...

doesn't Amimal Collective use both a SP-404 & a Digitech Vocal 300?

[my bloody television]

indeed they do, and they do magical things with them

naw see i said, "Doesn't Amimal Collective use both a SP-404 & a Digitech Vocal 300?"

and then you were supposed to say, "And??? STFU n00b. you are weird & you are also creeping me out."

MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

anyway. do you think that lots of psychedelics drugz are also employed w/ respect to making the "magical things" happen.

[my bloody television]

MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

damn.

I wouldn't be surprised if psychedelics are used in that group, and if that's the case, more power to 'em. I can't even do sober half the things they do with samples and beat matching.

I think geologist is the one that uses the 404 and vocal-300. panda bear uses two sp-555's now, and avey tare uses a minidisc player + guitar and amp. Somehow with that combination they make the most glorious sounds.

I've read that they went off and smoked a bunch of salvia while recording Strawberry Jam. I would like them more if they were drug-free, I'm not against it, but it's not as interesting because I don't feel that they truly made that. It's like a baseball player taking steroids.

+1 on the Digitech Vocal 300. My band used to have one of these, but it got pretty beat up. It's awesome though. We'll eventually get another and treat it nicer.
