Sometimes a clean vocal is the wrong vocal. VoiceTone X1 hands you the dirty side of singing — megaphone, distortion and overdrive — built around the way a voice actually behaves under gain. No surgery on the front-of-house console, no begging the engineer to find a plug-in: just step on it and your chorus turns into a different song.

Three classic effect families sit under one switch with Style and Tone knobs you can ride between songs. Pick a clean megaphone for a bridge that needs to sound like a radio, dial in an analogue-style overdrive for the chorus that has to feel huge, or push the distortion harder when the bridge wants to come unhinged.

XLR in, XLR out, phantom power for condensers, true-bypass-style routing when you want X1 out of the way entirely. Punk, garage, indie, electronic, hip-hop hooks — X1 is the stompbox that lets a singer be loud on purpose, and switches out of the way the second you want your clean voice back.
