The Voice Box packs a multi-functional vocal synth processor into a tough and compact chassis. Sing, and you’ll have a troupe of backup singers following you in perfect harmony. Or use the built-in vocoder to unleash classic synth-robot sounds.
Diana Ross had the Supremes, Brian Wilson had the Beach Boys, Kraftwerk had The Robots. You have the Voice Box.
The harmony processor creates 2- to 4-part harmonies directly from your vocals, in the same key as your accompanying instrument. Studio-quality
reverb lets you independently add depth to your dry and harmony vocals.
The focused 256-band articulate vocoder, designed by the same EMS genius who made vocoding famous, features adjustable harmonic enhancement and controllable formant shift.
Plug in your mic and your instrument, and let your new voice—or voices—be heard!
Floating and inspiring, Collen Dauncey entices her Electro-Harmonix Voice Box choir to deliver inspiring, human harmonies to the Fleet Foxes “Myknonos”. One very talented singer PLUS one musical instrument evokes an EH vocal magic that weaves a haunting and beautiful symatry.
Welcome to the tenth installment of EHX Effectology. In this episode Bill demonstrates a sound that reminds him of the keyboard sound in the Led Zepplein song “No Quarter”.
Second example is more of a traditional Fender Rhodes sound with a solo using the guitar into a Voice Box whistle mode.
Please note: Bill will be in the EHX Forums to discuss his sounds, settings, and process. We hope you join us there.

EHX engineer John Pisani plays the
Voice Box Slytherin style, with his wizard-rock band
Swish and Flick. John adds: "Harry Potter is a weakling! All Hail Draco Malfoy!"
YouTuber PuffyCatTail recently ordered a
Voice Box and is now looking forward to recording a new demo with it. Please send song suggestions via her
YouTube page.
Thanks to YouTuber JargMarbin for this bit of experimental electronic fun featuring a Serge Creature, a Korg Kaossilator, and an EHX
Voice Box. Excerpt: "I am your robot father. Go to your room. You're a bad robot son."
Thanks to YouTuber electricpony for this surprising
Voice Box rendition of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" -- take that, Brian Wilson!
Thanks to YouTube's GuitarGearComMx for this demo of the
Voice Box -- you'll get a good overview of the many different kinds of sounds you can make with the Voice Box.
Thanks to
Nataly Dawn and
Jack Conte for their second
Voice Box video, "In Harmony." This time you'll get a closer look at the Voice Box's harmonizer features (also be sure to see
their earlier video which featured the vocoder).
In
our previous post, we heard the
Voice Box help update the sound of a classic Neil Young song. Today, straight from Japan, let's all enjoy the entirely-different and other-worldly mash of a Voice Box with an iPhone synth. Yes, people: Welcome to new world; It's been too much long... (Thanks to YouTuber perfumepod for the video!)
Big thanks to Eric Myers for this amazing performance of Neil Young's "After the Goldrush." Eric used the
Voice Box in vocoder mode to merge his voice with the melody, as played via electric guitar. He combined the synthed-out vocals with acoustic tracks to produce this updated "twenty-first century" version of a classic song. Don't miss the third stanza: "Well, I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying..."
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show: the
Voice Box, as demoed by
Jack Conte and
Nataly Dawn.
