What I'd suggest given what you have is plugging the mic straight into the channel and plugging the send to the input of the pedal and the output to either an empty channel, or if its a stereo pedal, two channels. (Assuming you can spare them) set the wet / dry on your pedal to 100% <full wet> and then tailor to taste. If you have no spare channels you can use the AUX rtn but You'll have less control over the "Sound" of your reverb. The beauty of using it as a send is you can send to it from multiple inputs.
But Ideally, you don't want to put a vocal signal through a guitar pedal.
Thanks. I'm obviously going to have to experiment!
Am considering looking for a dedicated mic-reverb box, the hiss from the echo unit is pretty intrusive. Funny, though, it sounds ok through phones but not so good on play-back.
Have only ever tinkered with studio recording, but now I want to get a very small basic kit together for live performance, and I'm trying out ideas at home. So it's complicated, will be using multiple inputs from several devices - semi acoustic guitar thro practice amp, no problem. Mouth harp - will need compression / reverb, done that before ok ~ another small amp. Vocals: probably also through the same amp as the harp. Have a small Black Star amp with reverb, so that might also turn out alright. Finally, a very simple percussion - portable unit: electro-pad kick-bass & hi-hat (or similar, the hi-hat is a bit quiet).
Meanwhile i need to demo material to myself thro phones ['Home Recording']to see what's what, hence the need for 'live' mic reverb vocals, I could easily add digital reverb afterwards but that's giving me no idea about the live feel and live balance - all important.
Here's the set-up of the mixer
I have only two channels for dual recording via my interface, so at the moment the guitar takes one channel & the vocals / percussion share the other.
Still have no real idea of how to use the send jack though - where would the 'in' and 'out' jacks from my effects unit go please?
Thanks again
