The Zoom V3 is a vocal processor with a lot of uses.

It is a vocal processor that caters to more than just singers. It has features that can greatly help podcasters, streamers, voice dubbers, and the like.

It has an Enhancer feature that can be used to improve speech and vocals. This can be used in conjunction with the compressor, delay, and reverb effects.

It also comes with pitch correction which can be used for subtle polishing. It can also be exaggerated for EDM style effect. And it has built-in harmonies that can be used to accentuate certain vocal parts.

Voice changing effects are also available. Including vocoder, formant character shift, talkbox, telephone, robot, and more.

It can run on battery power, but I prefer using a plug-in power adapter. I have a lot of gear and it's a hassle having the batteries die while playing.

Being mounted on a mic stand is a big plus particularly if you're using guitar pedals like a looper (check out my Boss RC-300 review). While your feet are busy, you operate this Zoom vocal processor with your hands.

In addition to being a good live vocal processor, it also has a desktop-friendly profile. This makes it fit into most home recording, podcasting, and streaming setups. There is a pedal version called Zoom V6, for those who prefer floor control.

The Zoom V3 is a great multipurpose tool for stage performance and home recording. It's also nice to have for multi-media content creation like podcasting, streaming, and more.
