Mustaine

Well Cubase SX3 and recently i been trying REAPER. So is that the official effect's name? Telephone voice?

Hey Everyone.. This is my first post here so first of all, Hi ALL! My question is, in most recordings i hear there's a vocal effect that makes the vocalist sound like he's speaking through a radio or similar equipment. For example. The band Muse use that effect a lot. And Metallica used it in the song No Leaf Clover (youtube link : ) At the chorus part (1:58-2:10). How is that done?? What is it called? It helps alot with mediocre vocalists such as myself to be "hidden" behind that kind of effect. I am not looking to hide my flaws just sound decent with my recordings. Plus it's a very cool effect. Thanks in advance for your help =)
