It will hardly ever be used for vocals. Mainly for acoustic guitar and for warming up the signal from the PODxt when recording and to give it a more realistic feel when playing live. It's nothing I'm set on doing, just something I wanted to try. I've heard a lot of good things about the Presonus (with out the eq) using it for my purposes. But, I try not to believe anything I hear, and only half of what I see...lol :D
