How to Use a Boss Delay for Vocals

When you want to perform vocal processing, you may find digital effects and their ease of use tempting. Software such as Autotune makes processing vocals as easy as clicking a mouse. However, despite the trend toward digital production, you may prefer to keep things in the hardware realm. Classic guitar delay pedals, such as those produced by Boss, can give you a delay sound with minimal effort.
