Looking for a good Megaphone effect using FX/FAT settings for vocal Mic.
I've try some stuff but not good results.

Sample MP3 is what I'm looing for (used TC-Helicon "V")

Thanks for any suggestions (Need good detail)

Use channel PEQ.

Set the High and Low bands to shelf, not peak, then use them as a band pass filter. Drop the gain on both to -6 or higher, then raise / lower the frequency on each until the signal sounds like an old speaker, or megaphone.

The idea is that you're shaping the EQ to mimic a horn style PA speaker that can only reproduce a limited frequency range (200 - 2k hz, etc).

Some compression may help as well, try the auto setting and just lower the threshold until you get around 3-6 dB (or adjust to taste).
