Voco-Loco with delay & reverb
The most common use for the Voco-Loco is adding traditional effects such
as echo and reverb to the mic. Doubling up a vocal with a slight delay
can add depth, modulation and perceived loudness when performing live.
Adding reverb to your sax will add a sense of space. Keep in mind that as
you increase the intensity of time-based effects, you also risk losing the
distinctiveness of each note in a sea of wash. In larger venues, the signal
can get totally lost. The MIX control lets you blend your dry signal with
effects to set up the ideal balance.
Voco-Loco with octavers and sub harmonic generators
There are a number of octave dividing effects that can artifi cially introduce
an octave above or below the fundamental voice frequency. This can be
used to create ‘monster’ effects or harmonics.
Voco-Loco with envelopes & fi lters
Wah-wahs are basically narrow band EQ’s with accentuated mid
frequencies. The foot controller lets you change the center frequency to
create a wah effect. This can be done manually or automatically using an
envelope generator pedal. Opening a wah-wah pedal from dark to bright
can create distintive effects.
Voco-Loco with equalizers
All kinds of effects can be performed using an EQ. For instance, you
can thin out a voice by eliminating all of the bass or focus the voice by
accentuating the mid range to create a megaphone effect.
Voco-Loco with digital modeling
Digital modelers often combine many effects into one. These multi-effects
processors can be used on voice or instrument. The options are unlimited!
Combining effects
Where things get crazy is combining several effects together to create an
all new sound. For instance, combining a distortion with a narrow band EQ
can create the sound of being on a telephone. This is where you let your
creativity shine through and have fun!
