Hey there, I want to use my Axe Fx guitar processor to run vocal effects in a live situation.
I have been using the Axe Fx for vocal delays and reverb effects by plugging my mic cord into a Low Z / High Z adapter much like this, then plugging that into the input of my Axe. I then go from the Axe out into a DI rack, into our PA.
This seems to work great for practice and I'm wondering now if this can be applied live.
I understand messing with the house vocal settings can be a tricky situation. I've been told that I may need a mic pre before the axe to get my levels right and that it's best to get an Aux Send/Return from the board, however when asking the few local engineers around here if they had one, the answer has always been "no". So I want to defeat that route and just go direct.
If this can be done, HOW should it be done. Specifically, what gear should I be looking to invest in to make the process as simple and efficient as possible?
Thanks!
