Oh, it'll do those "telephone type" effects.  There's a distortion 
block that'll allow you to re-EQ for all kinds of effects like that, 
IIRC.

I'll also agree with the overall impression of the Create: it's a 
great little pedal.  I haven't played around with mine nearly as much 
as Buzap or a few others here (got it when they first came out; 
however, we were in the process of moving when it arrived, so I got 
to tweek the pedal for a couple of hours before then packing it away 
into storage. aaargh!), but it's really pretty cool.

One quick application tip: you don't have to restrict the Create to 
just your vocals.  It's optimized to take input from a microphone. 
For those instrumentalists among us, it's also excellent for a "post 
amp" effect.  Just use it on the microphone you're using to mic the 
amp.  There are lots of studio situations where effects are printed 
onto a track after it has already been recorded through an amplifier. 
The best way to replicate this live is to place the effects into the 
chain *after* the amplifier onstage before hitting the board.  The 
Create makes this pretty easy, and let's the performer keep control 
of those effects (as opposed to turning them over to the sound guy).
