Hey duders

My band is looking for a solution regarding controlling vocal effects when playing live and practicing...
Guitar pedals with XLR to 1/4"s? My sort of stance right now:

Pro: I only really want reverb and delay effects.
Con: Weird impedance / gain fluctuations, and the sound guys will probably hate us..

Dedicated vocal pedal like those fancy DigiTech ones
Pro: Nice stuff, good presets
Con: Kinda pricey, might have the same problems with the sound guy

Just rely on the sound guy's FX
Pro: Will probably sound best if the sound guy's good, and FREE!
Con: No control, and we're at the whim of the sound guy, so if he sucks... we suck

Right now I'm leaning towards relying on the sound guy's FX, and having some sort of vocal pedals as backup for practice and certain shows? Lead me in some sort of direction, guys!

Get one of those low-z to high-z xlr to quarter transformer cables. Pedals will now play nice with mic. The end.

If You have a tight budget, just try to manage with the sound guy. If possible, use the same guy always but if its not, well, just ask the sound guy. Excuse me, can I buy You a drink and make a request about mixing the show that will keep You busy. The answer is either yes or no, but its usually yes.

This interests me.

Also, my friend has an Industrial project and he uses a Carbon Copy Delay for vocals and it sounds pretty good live. I'm not sure if they have too many problems with sound guys but the two shows I've been to the sound dudes are pretty cooperative during sound check. I'm sure using effects boxes wouldn't be too much trouble especially with that impedance matcher.
