Anderton Collection VoxTools multi-effects

Figure 81. VoxTools.

New to the Anderton Collection of FX Chain presets, VoxTools is a collection of six effects tailored specifically for vocals, with a “look” that recalls a rack of 500-series modules. The top row of buttons enables the various effects.

This multi-effect is designed for vocals, but can be useful with other signal sources as well.

VoxTools contains the following modules and controls:

De-Plosive. Uses steep low-pass filtering to reduce plosive sounds (“p”, “b”, etc.). Turn Plosive Cut clockwise to reduce plosives. This control can also tighten up vocals, as well as reduce the low frequency emphasis caused by the proximity effect.

Distortion.  Creates industrial vocals and other effects. Turn up Mayhem to increase the distortion.

Cylon. Creates a sci-fi robot/pseudo-vocoder effect. Pitch varies the effect's timbre and frequency.

Megaphone. Creates “telephone” and “megaphone” voices by coupling steep low and high pass filters. Frequency determines where the two filter types meet.

Vibrato. Adds pitch modulation to held or sustained notes. Rate varies the vibrato frequency from 4 to 9 Hz.

ADT. Gives quick Automatic Double Tracking effects, i.e., the sound of recording a vocal and then overdubbing it. Turning Doubled Mix clockwise increases the level of the doubled sound.
