Suggestions on GREAT pre for voice work. Voxbox/Focusrite 7?

Hello, anybody out there have an opinion on either a Manley Voxbox or Focusrite 7? I've worked with the Manley Dual before, I loved how it sounded. Since I have a very low register, I was looking for a preamp, that can add that certain sparkle/sizzle to my voice...

PLEASE HELP!

eerie effect for voice?

Im looking for a effect i heard on the Clint Eastwood track by gorillaz...while the first rapper is doing his thing, his voice has an effect to it. It sound like a delay, but the voice seems to be coming from far, lagging, and reverbed,. its really hard to describe. its like on those horror films when spirits call out someones name.

recording voice only and getting soft sound

I am recording voice only, one at a time. I am using a Tascam US-122 and Shure SM58 microphone (dynamic microphone). The signal is very low--setting the gain all the way up on the US-122l still results in a very soft recording. When I go to replay the recording, I still have to turn up the volume almost the entire way to hear it. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
