From: JWald on 1 May 2010 13:24 Hello Gentlemen, A friends son is the singer in a death metal band. He is looking for an effect that will allow him to do his demony growly vocal with more power. He can do the low stuff, but he wants to sing in a higher range for power, and produce the lower register for the crowd. Does such a thing exist? TC Helicon? Digitech? Help. Thanks. -- J Wald -- "Can't do it Sally" Tom Hagen Godfather I ----

Many professional FX units have a pitch change that can do this. Just read the manual to see if it can change the pitch one or two octaves; some cannot change pitch that much. I have done this with a female voice successfully. I also added a bit of Tri-Tone (flat 5th), which is the most dissonant harmony. Two octaves down + Tri-Tone .... makes the voice monstrous. - Denny

First off, usual protocol is to post replies below the original post. I have used a number of Yamaha, TC & Lexicon FX units to create the monster voice FX. As I said in my reply, a tri-tone is a flatted 5th. For example, if the vocalist is singing a middle C, the flatted 5th would be a G-flat/F-sharp. You won't see the word tri-tone on an FZ unit. - Denny

Yes, 6 frets on the guitar, diminished 5th, augmented 4th, etc. Remember the intro to Purple Haze? That's a tri-tone. In Europe it's also the interval used in police sirens. Sean |
