This may be a stupid question but I am not a guitarist but am looking for an affordable vocal looper. Will I be able to plug a mic in and loop?

Well for some reason DegiTech designed it to where you can't record any instrument whether it be, guitar, keyboard, or a mic while the drum loops are going simultaneously. So yes, you could use a mic to record some kind of background chorus loop with whatever vocal effects, and then you could sing over that for harmony. But you can't have that and the drum loops, both at the same time in the loop (without comp software or a multi-track recorder anyway).

Probably not. I have not tried, but it is limited to guitar frequencies, i have tried a bass guitar and found that it was terrible( trying to save a few bucks and avoid the one specially for a bass guitar). I do not think this will suit your needs, though the loop is perfect for guitar!

Yes, although if you want clearer sounds I recommend a Behringer mixer also. It will filter the sounds of the guitar, and the vocals will be crisp. Instead of just recording raw through the microphones, but for starters it would do the job.

That's how it works. Also you have a gain control and and phantom power for a mic. I love mine useing it with Guitar Rig5.

No. You can plug the Vocalist in to anything that has xlr inputs. So if your amp has a xlr input then use that.

Hey, yes it is possible, you can plug up to 4 mics or guitars! Would you be interested in buying mine? I only used it once and then I upgraded to a focusrite. Im selling for 200$ and it works perfect comes in original box and everything! Let me know!

You might look at my answer to the question above about plugging in a mic. The mixer will let you send the input to the rca inputs, but the comments about the sound stand. If you are looking at buying an amp, you are much better off getting one that is designed for voice. Even a cheap one. If you need a bass amp as well, and the karaoke is just for fun at home, it won't be awful, but it won't be good.

If you have the proper line in cable, sure. I can not comment on the quality as a vocal amp, only as a bass amp. There are better alternatives to vocal amps out there, a lot of people use Keyboard amps as vocal amps and they seem pretty happy with it. Best of luck.

I have connected this unit with an electric guitar with a 1/4 inch to mini adapter and it does work. It is a $17 unit and the one I have works well for both vocal and guitar. I also have it running through a tube preamp.

If you have a phantom power supply, yes. This is a condenser mic and needs phantom power to operate. Look for a phantom power supply on amazon or guitar center, etc. they are about $30. Then connect mic to it, and output from power supply to your cassette tape deck. The sound quality will be awesome. :). Info@thesoundboxstudio.com if you need more help.

You can plug a dynamic mic into this amp. Dynamic means the same as guitar pickups. Don"t use too much of the special effects tho... It can distort your voice. This little amp is not very loud but in small rooms it will do. As with any amplifier, watch out for feedback.

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

I don't think this was designed for a microphone but you can try getting an adaptor jack from a radio shack or amazon. I'm really thinking it won't work with a mic and you'll have to get some type of amp. If you want a simple amp try a "Pignose" type amp which you can find at music store. They'll have other options too.

If you have a magnetic pickup on your instrument you can use this box. But it does not have a looper effect.

I'm not sure this is going to help you very much because I've only used the Vocalist 3 thru a PA in an acoustic setting. No problems of any kind when used this way and it sounds amazing!

I think it works quite well for singers. In fact, our band's singer used this exclusively for quite awhile. We even used it at some small venues (bars) with no problems. It has a built-in EQ to get the right vocal tone and many of the effects are intended for vocal use as well. The unit has several inputs, so it would probably be great for a singer/songwriter type that wants to perform with an amplified instrument like a guitar or keyboard. The first input is intended for a dynamic mic and has an XLR input. The others are quarter inch.

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.
