hessodreamy Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Can anyone suggest a fairly simple distortion circuit which would be suitable for vocals? ie one that won't feedback loads, and has a suitable input level for a microphone (balanced or unbalanced, i'm not fussed at this point, though it would be REALLY ace if it could do both) I was thinking of something with a distortion control and a low cut knob, for that 'megaphone' sound - so that it would disguise my somewhat questionable vocals! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovekraft Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 It's pretty simple to just use a plug-in transformer (if you're using a lo-impedance balanced mic) into a cheap overdrive pedal - with the prices of Bëhringër and D@nëlëctro pedals, it's hardly worth building your own. Shure makes a transformer-in-a-plug (the A85F, I believe) that adapts an XLR connector to a 1/4" plug (or vice-versa) and converts the impedance so you can use your PG58 to drive your favorite boutique distortion box, and if you buy a pair, you can run it inline just like a guitar effect, just stomp the switch to add the gusto! If ya gotta have something homebrew, try playing with Hemmo's Bazz Fuss (courtesy of Home-Wrecker.com/RunoffGroove.com) - it's simple, cheap, and capable of all kinds of sonic mayhem.
