Hello boys and girls!
I’m putting together a comedy act and YT channel (I’m retired, bored, and Covid-exhausted), and need something to replicate various chimp and ape voices. I’ll be wearing masks. Chimp, gorilla, capuchin/reesus monkey, possibly one more.
Yes, I know. What the heck is a monkey voice? I don’t know, but I hope you get the idea. I basically need something that will change octave, modulation, and one or two other parameters that I can fine tune to give me a believable gorilla talking English.
Do you think the Voice Box can do it? All of the YT demos I see only relate to music and don’t explore this aspect at all, like creating cartoon voices.
I know there are probably cheap computer/iApps that can do this, but I don’t want to deal with that, I worry about latency, and I want to work direct into an amp with a piece of hardware that I can work live with, even on the YT channel. (Don’t want to process audio in post!)
Thanks for your input, guys. I’m into playing guitar, and have a Boss octave pedal, which gives you a full octave lower. MAYBE that will work for the gorilla, but won’t give me the higher octave and other fine tuning that I assume something like the Voice Box might.
I also have a Roland guitar synthesizer, but I don’t think that will do me any good at all.

Its smaller and easier.
the Boss octave is a different system and not great at producing a vocal solo.October 19, 2020 at 9:29 pm #126550Ira7MemberThanks for the reply!!
I never heard of a Pitchfork Pedal.
October 19, 2020 at 9:46 pm #126551Ira7MemberOkay…I see there are two models.
Will the higher model give me any features that would help my particular voice needs, like adding dirt/a gravelly sound for a gorilla…instead of pairing with another pedal?
I know. These are probably the stupidest questions you’ve been asked in years.
If these pedals can bring me both up and down 3 octaves (I assume full, seamless range), this sounds like the ticket.

that could give you something gravelly
Never tried it but it would be cool for that AND robot soundsYou will need a mic with a 1/4 plug
