Excelente pedal de armonía vocal descatalogado ya creo

I purchased this mainly to experiment. We have a male and female lead vocalist, as well as a backup vocalist. However, harmonies have proven challenging. Our lead vocalist had been using a harmony pedal that frankly sounded like a haunted house. This one is a lot simpler, and if you take the time to carefully read the instruction sheet and experiment you can actually get some realistic harmonies.This supports harmonies a third or a fifth above or below where you are singing. You can set the key manually, or use a guitar or keyboard for the box to detect the key (you need to set the selector to Guitar for the latter). This does work with keyboards, but regardless of whether you are using a guitar or a keyboard you need to be playing chords for the box to correctly detect your key.While the basic operation is simple to learn, the instructions include a key and scale chart to help you to dial the harmonies in because some minor and major keys require tweaking.The Dry/Wet knob determines how prominent the harmonies are. The drier, the more emphasized the lead vocalist is. The wetter, the more emphasized the harmonies are. To be honest, anything over twelve o'clock on the knob setting starts sounding unnatural. A safe place to start here is around nine o'clock and increase it slowly until you find the sweet spot.If you are purchasing more than one of the Voice Singles pedals, here is the order in which they need to go: Microphone > T1 > C1 > D1 > H1 > R1 > Mixer. I am using mine with a  TC-Helicon VoiceTone Mic Mechanic , and with the Mic Mechanic's correction on and EFX off I have it chained as Microphone > Mic Mechanic > H1 > Mixer. With correction off and EFX on I reverse the signal path with the H1 first in the chain.Note that this comes with phantom power permanently on. There is no way to turn it off. I am using a variety of dynamic mics and none are the worse for it. Also, the USB connector in the rear of the unit allows you to connect this to a laptop or PC that is running the Voice Support app to download and install the latest firmware upgrades to keep this pedal current.Bottom line: this is simple to learn, but as you dig deeper it has a lot of power and capabilities. If you spend the time to both carefully read the instructions and to experiment you can dial this in nicely. TC-Helicon VoiceTone Mic Mechanic

The TC-Helicon H-1 pedal does exactly what it is supposed to do. So I'm not complaining about that, but without some sort of modulation to pair it with (reverb at least) I get a very flattened sound, and the vocal won't sit down in the mix. I have a Flamma "Harmony" pedal that i have used for over a year, and the only real difference is 1: this H-1 pedal has more natural sounding Harmony accompaniments. The "voices" sound pretty realistic where the Flamma voices sound a tad mechanical, not to the point of being unusable, but enough to make you want to keep them buried deeper in the mix than you should. And 2: a MAJOR difference in the H-1 and the Flamma pedal is that the button on the H-1 is essentially silent where the Flamma button makes a huge "CA-CLICK" sound. So if you're switching it on and off during your recording the H-1 won't make any noise and the Flamma sounds a little like racking a 12 guage shotgun in the background. So, in conclusion, the pedal is what It's supposed to be but you will probably want a touch of fx to go with it. Also it seems to be built pretty well with a tough case. Should last for years. If i were picking between the H-1 and the Flamma I would overwhelmingly take the TC-Helicon H-1.
