This video is exactly what I was looking for! I’m trying to put together a similar setup. Thank you for sharing your trial and error and saving me some time!

Thank you Budda! I'm rather new to the music scene and I am starting the journey. Earlier this week I was wondering about using a guitar effect pedal for vocals and found this video to be very helpful!

While I agree there's a lot of talking, there's ways you can edit so it stays interesting for everyone. I usually find opening with a sound demo in a mix, then going back and forth between talking and sound demos to be the most engaging. I'm definitely interested in what you have to say, and I like hearing the reasoning behind the choices, but having a short sound clip between paragraphs really helps.

You’re awesome, Budda.

This must be in the Top Three most fun channels for musicians on YT. I Love the closeups too!

If you skip the first 11 minutes, he finally stops talking and starts actually using the gear.

The Drive into the slapback sounds fantastic!

Very helpful tutorial !

Nice demo. Thank you. Good strong voice. ☮️ I just ordered one today & I’m exited to get a better vocal-sound. Plug-ins just aren’t getting-it done.

I can't believe some of the shit comments. Thanks for the great information and showing us how you as a professional shape your sound.

Your singing voice is amazing!!!

Digital reverb is getting better but it is not up to the unique, natural sound of a spring reverb. Yet, at least. You da man, Budda !!

The dynamic microphones that I use are a Pyle PDMIC59 (SM58S style) & PDMIC78 (SM57 style). That said, each comes with an XLR to 1/4 TS 15 foot microphone cable. End of the day, a $ 25-30 Klon(e) pedal is basically all you need when you have a Reverb built-into the combo amp or amp head. The guitar amp that I use is a also a solid state 1x8 open back combo, it's the Pyle (PVAMP60 Reverb) that has a built-in Reverb effect consisting of 2 Reverb control knobs for length & depth. The Klon is a transparent OD, has a tone control thru the treble knob to EQ and a volume & gain control knob. The Klon pedal can be used as a clean boost with a guitar and so it functions that way with a microphone. No microphone impedance match transformer necessary with these Pyle products. The Pyle microphones are built to have an output impedance spec of 600 Ohms, so it falls into the range of 50-600 Ohms category for a professional grade microphone. Plenty of volume with the Pyle amps 60W max output. Really just a solid & modest low cost PA system. These mics are good with any guitar amp combo, solid state or tube. Also a 5-6W pedal amp with passive cab of your preference is a nice little configuration to practice your vocals with.

This video is helpful. Im putting together my first vox pedal board. The surfy bear reverb and Ibanez delay sound good. Im not sure the colour box is enough distortion... could be ok. The journey continues.

Hi Budda, great video as always! I wonder how can I achieve this setup without buying the JHS Colour Box, it's a nice tool but quite expensive, specially if I only use it as a vocal live tool. Would a regular DI passive box work similarly combined with a BOSS GE7 and a boost (plus delay and reverb, of course 🤘😎)? Thanks man!

Thanx for the great work! I wonder how the overdrive/ saturation of the JHS would sound with a higher voice - tenor or falsetto. Does it still sound natural or is it getting too extreme? Thank you.

Great voice! Cool set up. I have a Colour Box v2 that I still need to try w vocals. Would you ever consider adding a compressor pedal pre Colour box?

They do have a nice analog type sound to it..

Killer video Budda! Very insightful into how to set up a solid vocal rig. Did you figure out if you get feedback using eq of the colourbox? Curious to know if you had an issues. I've seen vids of live sound engineers where they make a vocal pedalboard with 7 band eq and they show how to find the frequencies that feedback. In that video, he just turned down those specific frequencies. If you could let us know if you had issues with feedback using this rig live, that'd be awesome. Thanks Budda!

You could use an Mic impedance transformer (like shure A85F) in front of the Colorbox, then you wouldn't have to worry slamming and distorting your effects. Its a cheap tool, but essential (for me) using guitar effects with vocals.

Didn't know anything for me 😮😮

Hi Budda! Great video. I just wanted to ask how you muted the wet fx by bypassing the colorbox? My one sends a signal from both outputs whether byassed or activated so i still get wet fx just without the colorbox color

How do I connect everything to the mixer and sound speakers? does it all need to be connected to a mixer? Or can it be connected directly to an amplifier or sound speaker?

Great vid ! When running live to you have to use 2 channels on the mixing desk? One for the colour box and one for the delay/reverb and DI?

You mentioned that when you use this setup playing live that you have the pedals going into a Triton DI. Is there a specific reason for that? Or would that be normal to use in a live performance? Also is a preamp required for a setup like this or could you skip the JHS and go straight into the Ibanez analog delay pedal?

Hi, what if i only use guitar pedal dig reverb for my vocal without any other supplements would it still work?

can you make a video step by step how to set up your rig? and what you need exactly , mic ... to pedals, then to di to match impedance ? then to interface.. then daw? ..i must be doing something wrong , was hoping the walk through....great video anyway thanks!

I need a help... I have rode videomicro but i wanna use my guitar pedal as an audio interface (I'm using zoom G3X digital multi effect for guitar). But when i connect my microphone to my guitar pedal, I can't hear nothing. What should I do? Thank you..

Woooh this is some real geek shit here and I like it. More audio examples tho pls

Hello Budda, I have a big question, I have been struggling trying to conect my microphone to pedals that are not for microphone, i mean, guitar pedals, they just don´t do anything to my sound or just saturate, i have search the colour box of jhs and unfortunatly, is very expensive for me, so please, could you tell us what kind of pedal or mechanism, we need without an specific brand, to use the instrument pedals on our microhones? because i have seen several videos trying to answer this question an none of them really help, they just show their pedal configuration but don´t explain how they make it work. Thanks Budda, I love your channel

Nice! No need for impedance match adapter Low to Hi Z ?

why do you use the Triton Audio BigAmp Direct Box in the end in a live situation? is it to lower the impedance ? i know the guitar chain youre running is hi-z .. but are you bringing down the impedance to into a board? but boost with phantom power? what do you go into when you make the videos? just for home use. thanks..

I connected my mic into my pedal and then back into an amp and no sound :( why? help please

The vocals are distorted...unless that was intentional?

I use a Waza Craft Blues Driver as a mic pre lately and I'm surprised how good the tone is through my daw. Have you ever tried Radial VocoLoco? I'm looking at that or the colorbox.

Damn good singer. Give yourself some credit to

It takes this fuckin guy like 40 minutes till he Evan gets into anything

Get to the point.had to faward just to here the reverbs.

I wish you made the thumbnail more scary like maybe make your eyes totally White your face looks like it's melting and a whiten your teeth a lot that would be great clickbait

Reverb sounds like crap

to much talking

Come on dude....WAY too much talking...seriously
