Mesa Boogie V-twin

i was thinking the same!

i have a v-twin pedal and gonna try it soon for other things than guitar. mine has a (so far never used) mixer-output.

found this on google groups :



While looking for new vocal sounds I stumbled across an interesting trick. I

discovered that if you insert the V-Twin into your vocal channel and set the

gain right, you get a poor-mans tube vocal preamp. Except... combined with

the proper compression it sounds super thick and fat. The "coloring" from

the V-Twin adds a very smooth low-mid warmth to any vocal as well as

exciting the whole mid-range. It took me a while to get the settings

perfect, but you can even squeeze a little natural tube compression out of

this box. I know it's a little odd to use a guitar floor toy for vocals

other than for obvious effect, but this really works well. Now for the

recipe.......



From your insert cable, go in to the instrument in (duh), come out of the

power amp out.

Set your gain to about 2.5 to 3, set your master to 4.

As far as eq goes I've had luck with running everything at 5, but each combo

(mic, mixer, vocalist) will lend itself to a little experimentation. Try

Bass 4.5, Middle 5, Treble 4 and Presence at 6.5.



I'd like to hear how you make out with this little trick. Maybe someone from

Mesa will catch on and turn out a dedicated vocal preamp (sending me one

gratis, of course).



I've also used this on kick drums, acoustic guitars, etc with the same

positive results.
