Professor Monkey Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 ello! My friends and I are looking for songs to play and we decided to try Mr. Brightside by The Killers.. But, the singer has distortion on his voice.. Is it possible to connect the mic to a pedal and then the pedal to an amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A String Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yup. You should be good to go, unless you want to try and duplicate the sound by drinking a few bottles of whiskey...

arneyz Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I don't recall any distorted vocals in that song. Just a lot of reverb... and it kinda sounded like he was talking through a megaphone. Hooray for the Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategery Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 HA....that reminds me. In the 70's, we wanted to play "Slow Ride" by Foghat. I wanted to get that...BREATHY/Chorused sound in that one part so I hooked up a mic to a Mutron Bi-Phase and.....VOILA! SLOW...RI-IDE!! SSSSSssssssSSSSS. TAKE it EA-SY!! sssssSSSSSSsssss.

Professor Monkey Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 I thought it was reverb/echo too.. My friends think otherwise.. So.. since I can do this with a pedal.. Could I put it through a modeling amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Be sure your mic is either a high impedance mic (read: cheap) or buy a $15 impedance converter that can be put inline with the mic cable at the pedal end. Of course, you're limiting the vocal quality to the level of the amp. Guitar amps have been used by many for vocals, but they're not designed for it. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

The Geoff Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 If you have a MultiFX pedal with a Ring Modulator, you can 'do' the DALEK voice. There now! G.

Werewolf by Night Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Uhmn, are you putting the vocals through any kind of a mixer? If so, there might be an effects send/return, insert, or loop-assign, etc. that you could use to put a pedal or processor or modeler on the vocals. One popular line of guitar processors that've been used by some high-profile pro producers for vocals, drums, and who-knows-what-else is the Tech 21 Sansamp series of analog, solid-state preamps. All over several albums by Los Lobos...
