Seriously though, I'd just make do with what you have. Simon and Garfunkle never had any trouble.

How rude can you be, Jolly? How about offering real advice rather than a crude statement like "puberty perhaps...testicles?" Good grief.

DOD make a multi effects processor called the VoTech, I beleive discontinued though, dedicated to vocals that can also be used during live performance.

Digitech also makes some vocal processors such as the VX 300, and the VX400.

These are only masking what the problem is though....voice lessons may help, but he just plain might be "wrong" for your band, and fit in extremely well in another band.

Now that I think of it, I seem to remember seeing a band years ago where the singer used an octave pedal, meant for guitar, on his vocals and he sounded like an ogre when using it. Of course you would want something that added a lower octave....like the old BOSS OC-2 which has two lower octaves that can be combined or used individually. Just cause it was made for a guitar doesn't mean that it can't be used for vocals as well. Be creative.

Good luck.
