Live Vocal Pitch Shifting

Post by chacha » Sat Dec 20, 2014 12:29 pm

Hey, peeps.

I haven't been able to really suss out the right phrase to find an answer to this question, so I am turning to the eternal knowledge of OSG.

Do any of y'all know what effects or processors are used to do the super-down-pitched vocal doubling that St. Vincent has taken to using in most live performances?

I'm trying to find a similar effect to add interest to a noisy punk project. I assume it's being run through a computer processor, but are there any stompbox solutions?

This thing is awesome. All of the TC Helicon VoiceTone stuff is great.

^ Second this. Our singer used this until very recently. He's just sold it, and replaced it with the VoiceLive Touch which is MENTAL.

I have an EHX voice box. Guess the newer effect units sound more natural and have more options, but the EHX does the trick for me.
Nobody exists on purpose.
