It just sounds like a Green Bullet or something, maybe an old Electra Voice. You can get a similar sound with some light drive and a bass cut.

Ok, thanks guys! I thought there maybe an effect that would nail that Sound.
My solution i already had in mind: I would have taken an Old cheap mic and hook it to a small amp and mic that amp. I will try a bit... And i always wanted a copper Head, bullet etc. :lol:

Well as much as we/I were/was shitting on COSM in the other thread about guitar this would be an example where COSM is actually good... :facepalm:

Check some of the Roland Mic/Preamp sounds they have out... They always have that "Old Timey" vox sound as one of their mainstays... A shitty mic and cheap practice amp would work too with a filter after to get it right...

You could also consider a telephone if you want to go grittier.

TC also has a voice pedal with an am radio preset you could tweak.

Yep. My bandmate got one that's just an old handset with an XLR jack mounted where the phone cable used to go, and an on/off switch. Battery powered, I think. He got ages ago, I think, for cheapo on fleabay.

the Japanese "Three Generation" triple sided, age dependent sizing holes ones? NICE.

no. really. they have pocket pussy type toys in Japan that have two or three sides. and one will be Youthful!, so it's s'posed to feel like a 18 year old, Experienced!, for around a thirty year old's coot coot and Vintage! for a forty, sometimes fifty year old bang palace.

huh.
