So here's my question. We (useful idiot) have just started using a TC Helicon Voicelive plus rackmount. Which by the way has fantastic effects, and a great interface to edit them through a midi cable and a puter. Now, he's singing with an sm57, through a monster cable into rack, outta rack with balanced monster cables, into a yamaha PA head. Ya know one of the 250watt so-so ones. This PA head is unfortunately going through a marshall guitar cab. (just until we get new speakers, which will be soon) As soon as he started using the voicelive, we got all sorts of feedback with just about any effect on his voice. And due to Maynard using all sorts of megaphone, flange, delay, reverb, and chorus effects, it's just not gonna sound right without em.

Now without the voicelive, there is a little feedback, but not much. So obviously it's the voicelive that's causing it. So. How do we fix it? I assume the correct speakers will help alot, but as there was no feedback with the same speakers before the voicelive, i don't think that's the whole problem. Will a different mic help? A low noise one perhaps? Maybe some other rackmount that will cut the extra noise? The voicelive has a gate and compression on it, but the more we try to fuck with that, it seems to almost get worse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

**I almost remember when i was a kid seeing an EQ rackmount that had lights over the different bandwidths that lit up when there was feedback being caused and you could specifically turn down the exact frequency causing feedback... but as i think about this more, i don't think i have ever seen one since. That was in the first studio i ever went in, so they might not exist anymore, or i could remember it wrong.
