Electro-Harmonix Voice Box and Vocoder
So why is a voice box on a guitar review? Because, well, I like space guitar effects and anything bizarre. The art is figuring out how to get that into a song and have it be a value-add (and not insist upon itself, as Peter Griffin would say). So, being up to the challenge, and loving all things Electro Harmonix, I checked out the EH Voice Box Machine and Vocoder. So yeah, this thing works as expected on the voice with its own slight take. Some reviews I read were split on how this does for vocals. It’s good for thickening the sound.
But on the guitar, this thing is kind of cool, especially if you play very loose leads with a lot of bends. Gender bender is hilarious! And the vocoder is unique! Skank it up with something like a Big Muff pedal, and go for a screaming ride, or chill it out with a clean tone to squeeze out the harmonic tones. Like all EH pedals, its an acquired taste for experts. It’ll take a little time poking around to find the right tone, but it really helps on the space rock sound.
