    This is actually a really great pedal. I use it live mostly to double voice, triple voice, add a major 3rd above and it’s helpful for building up a chorus in a solo context. There’s so many features, so I appreciate this review (which is funny), but think the pedal is more dope than portrayed.

    • @ChrisDeJuanMusic
      @ChrisDeJuanMusic 2 роки тому +3

      I'm thinking of buying one (even tho it first came out like 10 years ago) just for the reverbs and adding some subtle harmonies to my vocals... plus you can predetermine the key, meaning you don't have to run a guitar or keyboard through it for it to detect the correct key of a song (making it great for horn players too). The TC Helicon Harmony Singe 2 is a great little harmonizer, but unfortunately you have to run a guitar or a keyboard through it for it to auto detect the right key

    Failed to mention that it you can tweak and improve on all 30 of the presets, and save 50 custom sounds to the pedal. They may not sound very good at default settings, but after some playing around, the effects can be greatly improved, and even combined.

    This is a very useful pedal. I don't understand how somebody who claims to be a successful performer, who can afford to employ backing vocalists, is worried about spending 250 dollars on this pedal. Some of the harmony pre-sets sound a little robotic, it is true, but there are enough that sound really good to offer an array of choice. The mike sensitivity feature is fantastic and has made some of my old cheap mikes usable again. I would say don't be easily put off because there is much merit in this box.

    I play guitar, sing, and sax etc. This seems like a really good pedal, especially for the sax. I used to have an MXR vocalizer decades ago, and I loved how you could set presets with four footswitches and pick your harmonies (for example, one footswitch is tuned for a 3rd above, and another a 5th above, then an octave (up or down) and even a seventh. You can imagine that the harmonies were not so great back then, but it still turned me into a horn section. So, for a horn player, the presets of reverb, delay, and the loop would offer lots of possibilities. I also sing backup and I use the same mic for vocals. It seems that I can get a preset to go back and forth and I sure can use pitch correction here! The only thing is the key. I thought that this unit accepts 1/4" guitar cords and reacts to guitar chords (I enjoyed just writing this). I need to research this. And . . . might it accept MIDI for program changes and chord recognition? And, there is one . . . I find it kinda hard to play guitar and sax at the same time so I'm wondering if I can wire this effects processor to the keyboardist in the band. Then, it could get chord changes from the piano while I'm playing sax. hmmmmm wonder.

    I sing and play guitar in a surf-punk, garage-rock band and I'd like to get that Julian Casablancas "telephone effect". I do like the "hip-hop" and "harmonica" presets since they have that lo-fi, rough, vintage vibe. What do you think would work best (considering some adjustments i.e. adding some enhancing and reverb)? Last but not least, our songs are pretty much fast and I happen to sing a lot of words in some very few seconds. Thank you ☺️

    FYI if you leave the pedal in the "scroll" move, you can scroll through the presets without holding down the pedal. plus there are presets which i was hoping you would go through. for my first vocal processor i think it's decent for the price. probably not the last one i'll own.

    heads up. you dont have to confirm the setting when you are switching sounds. when you start your perfromance just press and hold right pedal so the profile is blinking. then switch to the desired sound but dont press and hold for 2 seconds to confirm it. just let it go, that way you can change back with a quick press of the left pedal again for a fast switch.

      I would agree to this, but wouldn't this mean you effectively lose the ability to enable harmonies, looping and etc until you change it back from preset selection mode?
