Effect Descriptions
Shape - Controls multiple bands of EQ (equalization or tone). Adds brightness while removing bass
frequencies that contribute to muddy sound in your specific voice. Turning the Shape control past the
notch setting adds more brightness.
Comp / De-ess - Combines these two pro dynamics effects in one control. Compression reduces
vocal peaks that can be uncomfortable for listeners especially at loud PA volumes. VoiceTone T1
automatically gives you the right amount of gentle compression whether you’re singing right on the mic
or further away. De-ess reduces Sss, T and D sounds in your singing to add extra studio polish.
Warmth - Can be used to restore a narrow bass frequency band that adds fullness without making
your voice muddy.
Using Multiple VoiceTone Single Pedals
It is possible (even encouraged!) to use more than one VoiceTone pedal at a time. You will only need
to adjust the MIC GAIN control of the first pedal in the chain. On the rest, MIC GAIN should be set to
the minimum (fully left) position.
The order of the pedals is important. See the following table showing 2, 3 and 4 pedal combinations.
2 Pedals D1 > R1 T1 > D1 C1 > D1 3 Pedals T1 > D1 > R1
