Hey guys!
I'm wondering about running vocals through a small guitar amp or through a distortion pedal and a compresser or noise gate of sorts (to limit feedback). Can you guys give me soem examples of bands that I can listen to that use distortion? Can distorted vocals be sued in place of screaming?
Thanks in advance,
Justin B.

Our singer runs a distortion pedal in the effect loop of his mic channel on the board. The pedal is at his feet, which he stomps on when needed.
Sorry, can't give much advice on screaming, other than don't!  |

| | | | I saw a band a couple of years ago that used reverb and distortion on the vocals. They played RATM style stuff, and they did a really horrible cover of Come Together. I really suggest you don't for the sake of the audience. Have the confidence to sing properly! |

Really, it's not that uncommon. I don't see where there'd be a problem with you using artificial vocal distortion in lieu of shrieking. It actually might be a welcome change.

You didn't say how distorted.
The Cars had it sprinkled in their mixes to "undigital" the "too clean" sound, Shania's husband uses it since way back in the AC/DC Def Leppard days, Queen had it in a couple, and the ones already mentioned.
Your best bet would be to get a tube-based box OR very good simulator and just play with the thing.

Man, why didnt they just make a whole album or 3? the other DEP singers annoy the bollocks off me, Patton and them was a match made in heaven |
