Radial Engineering Voco-Loco Effects Switcher Pedal For Voice Or Instrument

Description

Pick Up This Foot-Controlled Effects Loop So The Lead Vocalist, Sax Or Trumpet Player Can Incorporate Guitar Effects Pedals Into The Signal Path – TheRadial Engineering Voco-Loco Effects Switcher Pedal For Voice Or Instrument

The design begins with a state-of-the-art mic preamp that is designed to accept both a standard dynamic microphone or a condenser by activating the built-in phantom power supply. A great sounding two band EQ with low and high frequency shelving makes it easy to add warmth and shimmer. The signal is then sent to the guitar pedals via a transformer isolated hi-Z effects loop circuit that is equipped with individual send & receive controls to optimize signal-to-noise and reduce distortion. A tone control on the return path lets you smooth the sound of pedals that may be overly bright and the blend control lets you mix the original ‘dry’ signal with the ‘wet’ effect to set the perfect mix.

Simply plug your mic into the Voco-Loco via the XLR input, connect your effects pedals using standard ” guitar cables, and then send the output from the Voco-Loco to the input on your mixer. Before the song begins, choose which effects you want on and – when you are ready – activate the loop using the right hand footswitch. A second footswitch serves double-duty as either a mute switch to turn off the mic between sets or as a 100% wet effects loop for special situations where you may not want any of the clean signal to pass through.

With the Voco-Loco in your signal chain, you can add delay or reverb, maybe a touch of distortion or even a special effect like a wah-wah to enhance your solo performance. The options are only limited by your imagination and desire to stand out from the crowd!

• Input pad: Autopadding – input automatically pads as gain is reduced
• Add guitar effects pedals to vocals or instruments
• Create exciting and unique effects as you perform
• Turn on multiple effects using one footswitch
• Works with either dynamic or condenser microphones
• MIC INPUT: Balanced XLR input for your microphone.
• 48V: Recessed switch turns on 48V phantom power for condenser mics.
• When turned on, the 48V LED indicator illuminates.
• SEND/RECV: Unbalanced jacks used to send the signal to effect
• pedals and return it back to the Voco-Loco.
• 180: Recessed switch is used to reverse the polarity of the effects loop
• to ensure guitar pedals are in phase with the microphone.
• LIFT: Disconnects the pin-1 ground connection at the XLR output to help
• eliminate noise caused by ground loops.
• LINE OUTPUT: Male XLR output, used to connect to the PA system.
• POWER: Connection for the 400mA 15VDC power supply.
• MIC IN: Sets the input level of the Voco-Locos mic preamp section.
• LOW / HIGH: Dual band EQ used to adjust the tone of your mic.
• SEND/RECV: Individual send and receive controls let you adjust the level
• going to the pedals to optimize signal-to-noise and reduce distortion.
• TONE: Lets you tame the harsh tone certain pedals produce.
• MIX: Adjusts the mix between the dry mic signal and the wet effect signal.
• LOOP WET/DRY: Primary footswitch toggles on or off the effects loop.
• MUTE/ALL WET: Left footswitch can either mute the output or activate
• the all wet mode.
• MUTE-LOOP: Recessed switch allows you to choose the function of the
• left footswitch. Set inward, the footswitch will mute the output of the VocoLoco.
• Set outward, the footswitch will engage the all wet mode.
