ELECTRIC FLUTE
​SETUP GUIDE

What you need to play flute with effects:
  • Your instrument
  • Microphone
  • Preamp (this boosts the microphone signal so that it works with effects pedals; some pedals include a preamp)
  • Effects - I recommend the BOSS VE-20 Vocal Effects Processor for beginners. I use the Helix Floor by Line 6. 
  • XLR cables
  • Optional: amplification, headphones, power supplies for pedals

​Electric Flute - Essential Gear for Beginners - Shopping List
This is a no-frills shopping list for a basic electric flute setup. Effects include delay, distortion, reverb, harmonization, flanger, chorus, and looping. 
(I am not affiliated with these companies in any way, nor do I profit from any sales. I put this list together for educational purposes to help anyone that wants to get started playing flute with effects pedals.)

MICROPHONE

Currently, I use a Shure SM58 microphone.

This is a cardiod (unidirectional) dynamic mic performs well in both studio and live performance situations.

​AMPLIFICATION

I've had the best success (the least amount of feedback and the cleanest amplified
flute sound) ​using PA systems.

​However, guitar/keyboard amps (and headphones) can also get the job done.
