On stage, it is certainly not unusual to see guitarists, and even bassists using floor-based effects pedals in order to manipulate their sound to match their instrumental performance with what they hear in their heads. Wah-wah pedals, distortion pedals, and even complicated effects processors which allow for digital audio looping and pre-programmed effects are all fairly commonplace in the guitar world.
However, what is definitely unusual is to see a vocalist using the same type of equipment to enhance their vocal performance. While in the studio, it is common for singers to use all sorts of audio equipment in order to add to their vocal tracks, this does not often translate to the stage, especially not using a method that the singer can control in real time.
Many different studio effects can be replicated with vocal floor processors. This type of equipment is meant to lie flat on the stage floor, like a guitar processor, and allow the vocalist to use their feet to alter the types of vocal effects that can be applied. There are several effects available in these units which can help a singer re-create the same performance that was captured in a studio recording. Multi-voice harmony can take a singer's voice and then digitally clone it in order to instantly create several harmony parts in tune with the current vocal. It can also allow a second singer to add multiple harmony parts to the lead singer's performance using their voice instead. Double-tracking, where a singer combines several different takes of a vocal track into a layered version of the lead vocal, can also be accomplished with this type of processor. This can add a richer, fuller sound to the singer's voice, allowing him or her to lower their own volume and preserve their vocal cords for repeat performances.
Of course, it's not just vocal-specific effects which are locked up inside these types of devices. The standard effects available to guitarists or other musicians can also be used by singers. Reverb and delay are two of the most popular classic effects when it comes to singing, and both can be employed in order to increase the drama or poignancy of a vocal track. For singers who are interested in exploring the more extreme side of effects processing, distortions and phaser effects can transform the human voice into something almost unrecognizable. A special foot-pedal allows vocalists to roll effects on and off in order to organically mix them into the overall sound they are trying to achieve.
Some singers do not feel comfortable controlling this type of equipment during a show, and they prefer to leave their vocal processing in the hands of the sound engineers who are mixing the concert. For higher-budget productions who can afford personnel to track dedicated sound cues, rack-mounted versions of vocal processing equipment are just as useful for getting the most out of a singer's voice. Rack mount equipment is a little more fragile than floor processors, but it also usually has more options and more power packed inside its casing.
