Mic Preamp and Effect Loop

The Voco-Loco is a foot-controlled microphone preamp and effects loop switcher that enables a vocalist or acoustic instrumentalist to incorporate guitar effects pedals into their signal path.

  • Add guitar effects pedals to vocal or instrument mics
  • Create exciting and unique effects as you perform
  • Turn on multiple effects with one footswitch
  • Works with dynamic and condenser microphones

Connect any mic to your guitar pedals

The Voco-Loco combines a microphone preamp with a guitar pedal effects loop, allowing a lead vocalist, sax or trumpet player to add guitar pedals to their audio signal path just like an electric guitarist adds effects for soloing. Simply plug your mic into the Voco-Loco via the XLR input, connect your effects pedals using standard ¼" guitar cables, and then send the output from the Voco-Loco to the input on your mixer. Now with the touch of a footswitch you can add your favorite delay, reverb, distortion or wah-wah to any mic'd up instrument or vocal - the options are only limited by your imagination.

Voco-Loco Applications

Voco-Loco on voice

Plug your microphone into the Voco-Loco and add exciting effects using guitar pedals for echo, reverb or distortion and control the effects the way you want.

Voco-Loco with brass

Add echo, chorus or wah to your sax or trumpet to make your solos stand out from the crowd and deliver a unique performance to the audience that they will never forget!

Voco-Loco with harmonica

The Voco-Loco lets you incorporate a chorus, overdrive and reverb to your harp solos to deliver amazing tones without having to bring an amp to the gig. The blues never sounded so good!

Artists

Randy Brecker

Trumpet - Multi grammy award winning player

"The Voco-Loco is a great tool for horn players that use stomp boxes. It improves the quality of the signal, reduces noise and simplifies the signal chain."

Joe Cardamone

The Icarus Line

"Using stompboxes and other unconventional effects have long been part of my performances both on the stage and in the studio. Enter the Voco-Loco. I have been waiting for something like this since I began making records. As per usual Radial delivers tools that feature uses for real-life artists. If you know Radial gear you already know that you're getting something that sounds sweet and that you could hammer nails with."

Vince Mai

Sarah McLaughlin, Divine Brown, Michael Bublé, The Powder Blues, Tom Jones, David Clayton Thomas, David Foster

"I'm really gassed about the Voco-Loco... It's changed the way I approach electronics and my horn. The ability to quickly switch to and mix in echos, reverbs, wah-wah and other effects is mind boggling!... And with the Voco-Loco, my true sound that I've worked so long and hard for is captured faithfully and mixed in new and innovative ways."
