Electro Harmonix Iron Lung Vocoder Pedal Overview
Add magic to your performance. From Bon Jovi to Imogen Heap, vocoders have been spicing up our favourite songs for decades. The Electro Harmonix Iron Lung Vocoder takes the enchanting, instrument-controlled pitch manipulation of EHX's flagship V256 vocoder unit and fits it into a super compact, die-cast pedal. From chipmunk-high to the voice of doom, the unique 'Gender Bender' circuit lets you pick just the right vocal formant for your part.
Plug your microphone of choice into the XLR input and select one of three switchable gain levels. Then simply connect your guitar or keyboard and the Iron Lung's 256-band resolution flawlessly follows the vocal to turn your voice into an envelope filter for your instrument. Whether it's a scat-singing synth solo or a polyphonic guitar-strum choir, the tone knob lets you slot your newfound wizardry into any mix with ease, making the EHX Iron Lung a powerful creative tool in the studio or on the road.

Split your signal. One hidden detail of the Iron Lung's circuitry makes it a perfect tool for the live arena, namely it's Split Bypass' mode. When a mono 1/4" is inserted into the output socket, the pedal works just as you'd expect - dry instrument signal when it's bypassed, 100 wet vocoder sound when engaged.
But insert a TRS jack cable is used instead, the pedal switches to Split Bypass, meaning that, when the effect is off, your dry guitar or keys signal is sent to the tip of the output jack, and the mic signal to the ring. Engage the effect and the full affected signal is sent to both.
This opens up a world of creative options onstage. By using an insert cable (which splits the signal from a TRS jack at one end to two separate mono jacks at the other) you could create a new, separate signal path for your vocal FX chain. This would also allow sound engineers to easily take a DI signal of the affected vocal, sending this directly into the mixing console for extra clarity, without infringing on your pedal board.
