Vocals:  
 
TonePort™ UX1 also features studio-grade microphone preamps that make getting a pure vocal tone easy. The exclusive GearBox™ tone software gives you models of the most sought after preamps in the recording world. GearBox even lets you run a completely different signal path for your microphone input with models of vintage preamps, compressors, and reverbs while still giving you the ultimate direct recording sound for your guitar. Feel like recording with a great mic pre and compressor and saving the reverb/delay effects for the mix? No problem. Gearbox can be set up to send your dry vocal to your recording app even when you're monitoring with post effects like mod, delay and reverb. Record either the wet or dry signal - or both. It's your choice!  
 
And with ToneDirect™ monitoring, you get fully processed audio so you get the sound of a million dollar studio right when you start tracking. In minutes, you’ll be creating tracks that typically take an entire studio, an expert engineer, and a huge hourly rate to pull off!
