Vocal pitch delay???

[stickydisgust]

Hello,

I've tried searching the internet for various vocal or guitar pedals to recreate a sound I'm looking for but have had no luck. The easiest way to describe the sound I'm after is a delay that changes the pitch up or down on each echo.

If you skip to 2:26 of this video you'll hear the vocal effect I'm after.

What type of effect would that be? and as the effect in the video is produced live how would I go about creating that sound?

Cheers.

I can't get youtube to work right now but:

Route the vocal to a single tap delay
route the output of the delay to a pitch shifter and the main mix
route the output of the pitch shifter to the same delay that sent to the pitch shifter in the first place.

Be sure the volume decay on the delay is high enough that the whole thing doesn't feed back forever.


Another method:
Mic records and simultaneously goes to a pitch shifter placed AFTER the recording (records with no pitch shift).
The pitch shifted sound comes out of a speaker in the room with the mic.
The speaker is loud enough to feed back...only it doesn't feed back because the sound coming out was a pitch shifted version of what went in.
What does happen is the mic picks up the pitch-shifted sound and sends it back through the cycle.
The delay time is based on how far the speaker is from the mic.

It's a digital delay, not sure of settings.

Yeah, sounds like straight delay with no pitch effects.

Is he trying to puke???? I'm pretty close to puking myself after listening to that.

Anyway, it's just a straight delay. There's no pitch shifting on it.

Just think...that was only Part 2.

To get the full effect you have to listen to Part 1 and Part 2.

Look, I was going to call "TROLL!" on this one... newbie, first post, go to You Tube etc...

However if you listen closely at 2.26 and for the next 15 seconds (as the OP says) you'll hear, as well as the obvious delay effect, that the delayed portion of the first vocal emanation rises in pitch, and then on the next note/scream/regurgitation, descends in pitch...

So, stickydisgust, giving you the benefit of the doubt, that effect can be achieved with any modern day multi-effect guitar pedal that has an "expression" pedal with it (completely confident I could do it on my GT-10) by having a standard delay and then using a pitch shifter on the expression pedal to raise the pitch of the echo, and then on the subsequent scream, lower it...

Suspect he has a tech guy doing it for him via a send - and it may well be a rack delay and whammy pedal or any other number of possible combinations, but you could do it yourself easily enough with a guitar pedal.

I'm going to try it on the weekend... and loop it so the audience can enjoy it multiple times...

You might be right. I couldn't listen to it more than once. But I thought I heard a non-pitched shifted delay, and it was him that was changing the pitch of his ralfing.

It's only in that one spot.. not that I went any further...

Thank you Chibi Nappa and Armistice for the detailed and helpful advice!

As for the rest of you... I fart in your direction. And it sounds and smells EXACTLY like the singer in the video that I linked

You know I thought that I smelled something other than the dogbreaths usual farts around here!
Nice try kid. Keep it up and one day you may be a master farter.
