Hi guys, I would like to build a vocal rack (chorus, delay, phaser, compressor, echo), so I would like to know if I could use guitar effects schematics to do it?

Most microphone signals have a different impedance levels from guitar signals. You could do this as long as you used an XLR to 1/4" adaptor that also changes impedance in and use one that is its compliment to send the signal out.

Conversely, you could design a circuit to go between the input of the unit and the input of your first effect circuit that changes impedance, and the create a reverse circuit to go between the output of the last effect and the output of the unit.

Check the Search button above, because IFRC this has been covered before.

Besides the impedance issue, it should work fine.

It will only work if you are using a high impedence mic, but even then not very well.

Use a stompbox, the MXR micro-amp:



(or another mic-preamp) in front of the effect-chain (always switched on) and it will work.
