What is the Best Vocal Effects Processor for a Mic in a Karaoke Set up ??

[Excalibur]

Best effect? Usually the Kill switch.

Of course your guitar effects would do! Every singer needs distortion, flange and Wah-Wah on their vocals!

Seriously, though. If you're considering karaoke, I would seriously recommend the use of vocal effects, primarily echo/reverb. These effects can disguise vocal errors but, to be honest, can't make a bad singer good.

And you always get karaoke singers shouting "Put a bit more echo on!". Keeps them happy!

FX can also make a good singer sound even better.
Many many many pro singers / artists use fx , so why can't Joe Bloggs too ?
IMO , with regard to reverb & echo , less is more.....
A hint can sound great.

I agree you don't want someone to sound like they are in an aircraft hanger,
or a cave a nice mix of effects is good, and they don't disguise the fact someone is singing out of tune.

Do a bit of Karaoke myself and apart from the mute switch I found the BEHRINGER-FBQ2496 a nice bit of kit and very useful

As much as I hate karaoke, i've done it a few times.
I used my tc electronic M350 from my recording rack.

If you've got a mixer with built-in effects just use those - I don't think karaoke singers are too fussed!

Nice and clean, obviously I don't need the vocal removal (unless I'm singing lol)

I have been looking at either

Alesis MultiMix 6FX

or

ALTO AMX-100FX - (with DSP)

I just need a small portable mixer for the effects.

can anyone vouch for these?
