What do you guys use to get that effect that your Vocals or mix is coming through a small radio or pig amp ?

Is there a plugin thats good for this ?

With most software, if you have an "FFT" function/type equalizer, create a sharp narrow bandwidth filter. You will make a sharp cut off at 300 hertz and a sharp cut off at 3000 Hertz. That's frequency response for American telephone systems.

Frequently, many consoles of the analog type can also reproduce this telephone like effect. High pass/low-cut filters set to 250 hertz. Low pass/high cut, set to 3.5kHz. And if you need that asked the Dixie cup sound, to get a nice boost at 1.5kHz.

What I thought was totally cool was a friend of mine has a little toy megaphone called a SPECO I think? It sounds awesome on microphone and has just that right amount of distortion, like 20% with included dynamic range limiting, by overload.

You might even want to take that pair of toy walkie-talkies your parents gave you last year?
