Vocal Reverb

Unread post by catho » Thu Jun 02, 2005 1:07 am

Hi
I need a good natural sounding reverb for my voice and it has to be in a stompbox format about the size of a boss pedal. Any ideas?

Thanks

I looked at it, it seems to do the job. Its very "metallic" sounding though. Lots of reverb, little warmth.

Its cool to have a delay built in also, but its a bit overkill since I got a seperate delay. It adds to the price too...

You can use a another setup for only your vox. Howie Day uses similar effects for guitar and his voice.

Also, depending on your performing situation the sound man can tweak your vocals at the board and add some verbage so you can swim swim swwwwwwwwwwwim!

Howie Days setups are one inspiration of what Im going after. But for my vox side I still need a good reverb pedal. Everywhere I go there is no soundman, just a cheapass PA and I cant depend on it to have effects. I want to get a good base sound down first.

This is what Im thinking:

Guitar->
Tuner of some sort->
OC-2 Octaver->
BD2 Blues Driver->
GE-7 EQ->
CH-1 Chorus (to be replaced with the Fishman Aura or something like that)->
DD-2 Digital Delay->
RC20XL Looper->
Direct Box->
PA/Amp

Mic(Voice)->
GE-7->
DS-1->
DD-5 Delay->
Reverb Pedal->
RC20XL->
etc.

If I won at the lottery Id get an Variax Acoustic 700 to add sounds to my loops. A sitar would be so cool!

The great thing about the setup is that I can cram everything onto one board rather than two à la Howie.

For "screaming". It really works IMO.

Dist is better than Overdrive also since I can keep a lower volume and still get a solid clipping.

I just set the gain pretty high, compensate Effect volume so that the volume stays pretty much the same when on and off. Play a song, singelising, hit the bridge and add the distortion.

Really, its just a cheap way of making my vocals more passionate than they really are.

I dont know much about pedal boards...but dont tuners usually go at the end? Isnt that so it cuts the sound of everything else while you're tuning? I guess it wouldnt make any difference if you had all the other effects off.

In order for it to cut the other sound it needs to be first, im 90% sure.

Also, its hard to tune if you run the signal through several pedals since the signal degrades and then the tuner is gonna jump between notes like crazy.

Yeah i knew it had to be at one end, but i couldnt remember which, and for some reason i was leaning towards it being at the end.

Yeah, that rocks for sure! No need for an external box at all.
