Please Recommend Radio Effect for Vocals

Hello All--
 
I'm looking for a quality effect that give vocals that lo-fi radio sound that might be contained within the splat plug-ins. Are there any good ones?
 
Thanks,
 
Stephen

    Blue Cat's Triple EQ has a good radio EQ preset.  I believe Blue Cat's f/x are free.  It can be heard on the first two vocal lines in this song: http://www.soundclick.com...&q=hi&newref=1

    All the best,

    Thanks all. I can sweep my EQ plugs for a good sound I'm looking for. Just wondered if here was a preset you liked.
    I (always) appreciate the responses here!

    Cut the lows and highs to taste for the Aqualung effect.

    I personally like the Vocal plug in that comes with Sonar (Vocal strip).
    there is a preset in there for a few different flavors. telephone, old radio, exc.
    With a little bit of saturation you can get a doable lo-fi sound.

    TH3 has merit too.

    It's complete overkill for this simple application but FabFilter Saturn has a "ancient public address" preset that I love. You can try it free for a week or two I think. Killer plugin btw.

    The Sonitus EQ has a preset called 'telephone'.  I've used that with a little bit of overdrive from the prochannel and it works quite nicely without requiring any other plugs outside of Sonar.

    I was thinking Sonitus telephone preset also with some adjustments and saturation...
