If you have a recommendation for only 1 of the 3 below, that is appreciated. You don't have to comment on all 3.
I want recommendations for LIVE vocal processing including, best bang for buck:
1) Parametric EQ (selling new for $100-$500)
2) Compressor (selling new for $300-$500)
3) Vocal Effects processor with reverb, delay, and chorus (selling new for $300-$500)
*I planned on getting separate rackmount gear for each function, but I would be willing to spend more on a single piece of equipment if it would do everything I want (e.g. if the Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro is a good option, is it?).
Somebody give me a definitive answer based on the fact that: I want a relatively organic sound, meaning it doesn't sound too processed, and I like a really bright vocal sound. By bright, i mean, I usually EQ by cutting around 200hz pretty hard, Eq the high end up about 3- 6db and the low end up 1-3db.
THANK-YOU!

MY CURRENT SIGNAL CHAIN for my vocal is: AT3300 Mic into Mackie Onyx 1220 sitting on stage with me using the mixers mic preamp. I use the aux send 1 to send the onboard perkins eq'd signal -> to the compressor-> Yamaha REV 7 older effects processor -> to another channel on the board. I then send two signals independently to the house pre-fader with a DB25 snake
(1) dry vocal
(2) processed. I let the sound man do what he wants with it.
