TC-Helicon VOICELIVE PLAY 3-Button Vocal Effects Stompbox with Looping

I owned the TC Helicon Create XT and the TC Helicon Harmony G XT. I really wanted reverbs and delay's and harmonies for live use. In my album recordings [...] I use a lot of harmonies and sometimes effects. My live performances sounded hollow compared to the recordings. Well the Create XT was way to noticeable when I changed effects and the Harmony G XT's harmonies sounded way to artificial. Then I saw this. The Voicelive Play which is ultimately both pedals rolled into one but a little cheaper and you get a lot more presets. Because both my Create XT and Harmony G XT was recently ordered from Amazon they were cool enough to let me ship both back and get this. I was extremely happy when I started playing with this. 1st off it's way more realistic and natural sounding then the other two pedals. You have 200 presets you can save. What makes this pedal for me though is the HIT button. HIT activates a few more layered effects within the preset to really emphasize a point in the song. For example I keep the reverb on and slight delay at all times but I have harmonies and doubler set to activate only when I press the HIT pedal. So my verses sound full with reverb and delay and on chorus' I kick in the HIT effects. Whats so cool about it is the effects sound fuller and you can notice, whoa theres harmonies!!!!! But it doesn't change the sound or volume of the effect. It's a very smooth transition which is HUGE for live application. Also the room mics pick up the key of the songs and the harmonies will follow that key. I haven't really tried that cuz I don't trust it....but I can go in and set the key of the song manually and save it for that preset. So presets 1-14 are the songs we play live so I have them all saved in what key they are in and what HIT effects I want to use. And there are artist presets you can hook up to your computer and download to your Voicelive play. I liked the Foo Fighters presets and Greenday presets. Awesome processor that can do ALOT more. Some cool megaphone effects if you want to sound like Maynard from Tool....etc... I would def replace in a heart beat. Very sturdy metal pedal with metal buttons and reminds me of a guitar multi effects pedal which is cool cuz I'm a guitarist. I owned the Digitech Vocal 300 and it was very noticable when you changed effects and the feed back was awful. Any way BUY IT.P.S. I didn't post my music link to try and advertise. I did it to prove I am a real musician and vocalist who records and plays live and this pedal is very practical for what I need it for. Most people don't like alternative rock any way. Thanks

It is a nice pedal. It mixes all the possible voice effects in one pedal. I just began to use it and I am discovering many new options that apply to my voice defects.

I had been waiting for this to be available since reading reviews earlier in the year. This is really a great price for what has turned out to be an extremely good quality, easy to use, effects for singers. My daughter loves to sing and this thing not only helps with feedback on how well she can hit and hold the right note, she can sing along with her ipod and add an incredible number of effects like harmonies and so forth. I ran this through my higher end sound systems and the quality is top notch. I look forward to integrating this into my DJ show. I highly recommend.

I wanted to return this but the window of return expired too soon. It has its uses but limited. Frustrated I was unable to return.

Our band has an awesome singer, but she doesn't have a ton of power so we were always fighting with the gain and feedback with the mixer. I bought this hoping I could gain a little more headroom while adding some cool effects. So far it is just what I needed! Not only are there some very good patches already on the machine, but it is really easy to tweak them to fit your band/singer. The harmonies are a real bonus and will help save my voice for when I sing lead. It is older technology and the screen reminds me of 80s handheld video games, but for the money, this device has a TON of features that are easy to use. You can't beat it for the price!

I should have known better. This is great for Karaoke but these presets are not what I was hoping for. You can set reverb and delay but most of these presets do not work well on a DAW. It just sounds bad. Probably sending it back.

Lo compré esperando muy poco y la verdad me sorprendió. Buena calidad de construcción y muy buen sonido. Trae muchos efectos para la voz. Ideal para complementar la voz principal de un cantante.

Absolutely love it! Perfect for gigging and recording as well!
