Vocal Delay Pedal??

[Rayman]

Would a guitar pedal, like a Boss DD2 or whatever work for a microphone? I want a delay option to stomp on during gigs for the lead vocals, so I want to run the mic into a pedal and punch it in and out in the same way that you do for a guitar.

Would that work?

I suspect it wouldn't work 'in line' but there'd be no problem with it as an insert on that channel (with the right cable) I shouldn't have though!?

There are loads of better options

I have a Boss VE20 but I'm thinking of getting one of the newer ones that the guitar runs through for intelligent harmony settings

If you're looking for something cheaper you could get a cheap rack multi effect such as one of the zooms or peaveys (I got a zoom 1201 and a peavey deltafex for £35 combined on gumtree) and the appropriate foot switch and use that in the insert channel on a mixer, if available.

As for the question in hand I have often wondered if I could do the same with my line 6 m9 or something and use a guitar based effect through a microphone.... Maybe I'll run a quick experiment when the rest of the house aren't sleeping hehe.

A quick google suggests that you'll have to adjust the level from the mic, using a pre-amp or something, but it's probably achievable (check here [url="http://www.gearslutz.com/board/live-sound/171977-live-vocal-through-guitar-pedal-setup-question.html"]http://www.gearslutz.com/board/live-sound/171977-live-vocal-through-guitar-pedal-setup-question.html[/url] )
