Doesn’t sound ideal. It would probably work in regards to getting a sound through but you should use an appropriate mic preamp so you can have control over volume at least, and probably eq.

i dont know the specifics, but no its not the same.

if you want an EH product i would highly recommend a Electro Harmonix 12AY7 Mic Pre, but it does cost 4 times as much.

Back in the 70s/80s EH marketed an inline mic booster called the Ego. It was essentially the LPB-1 with 2 female jacks.

I thought the Kaoss Pad had a mic input with a gain control…

You should be OK plugging a normal (un-powered) dynamic mic into it.

If you really want to use a preamp, there are LOADS of options for all budgets, or you could use a small mixer – this will give you extra flexibility; you could set-up the Kaoss Pad as a send/return effect and have extra control over effect levels, EQ etc.

from reading this, i thought, wouldnt it be a cool sound with a 22 cal. cranked up runnin vocals!

Fair enough.

I have only ever used the original Kaoss Pad and the V3, and from what I remember they both had mic inputs and gain controls.

I’m not sure an LBP-1 will do the job to be honest…
you could get a proper mic preamp for near enough the same price – you can get an ART Tube MP for around £35.

a mixer would be the way I would use it, but I’m not sure there’s anything suitable in the £20-30 price bracket… and certainly nothing I’d recommend.
If you stretch the budget to around £50 you should be able to get a used Soundcraft/Spirit mixer (the ‘Notepad’ or ‘Compact 4’ for example).

try behringer mixers, i know they have gotten mixed reviews on sum of there products, but who dont, and i own 2 of there larger mixers and there great in my opinion, and friends of mine think so as well.

heres a good example of a small one for cheap, just search ebay, im sure you can get sumthing for your needs from them thrue ebay for around $20!
