Little disappointed feeling
Moodshakez 09.12.2019
Want to be short as possible. I am a singer and play acoustic guitar along. Bought this little "body" with high expectations, but was left little behind as unit being tested in real life on smaller venues and stages. In the end I would say it is a steady built, nice features, easy to use, but if you feel like your creative personality being digitalized and overtaken, then one should choose other more simple TC Helicon pedals. But in general, it was ok to have it.

Excellent quality, though there few compression options.
ricardoiorio 10.10.2022
It's a very durable, sturdy piece of gear. The sound quality is great and I have no complains whatsoever about this. There is also an incredible amount of parameters to tweak. But the one thing I have to point out is the little control over compression that the user have. I find this very strange as there are so many parameters one can change, but such an important one as compression for the vocals is very poorly managed. There are only a few general options such as "no compression", "normal compression", and "extra compression", and this setting then applies to every preset at once (not individually). I find this strange. As for the rest, really no complains at all!

Just the right one for me.
Richard aus Q. 17.03.2019
I have looked into those tc helicon harmoniser and this is the one that fits the bill just perfect. Two harmony voices is plenty for a solo singer. Mine has only chorus and reverb for guitars so I' have to check if there is an update to get the delay as well.
The reaction time to chord changes is good if you know how to help the machine (don't delay playing that chord).
It's fun to play with! I love it.

If you have budget for only one pedal, it's this one!
Allufin 26.10.2022
I have been using this pedal for few years already. It's incredibly customisable. There are plenty of guitar and vocal effects, probably you won't ever need them but it's nice to have it anyway.

Best thing about it: It replaces about many pedals (delay, reverb etc.) And vocal pedals ( delay, harmoniser, reverb, autotune..) plus tuner and looper.

So if you have budget for only one, this is the one.

great vocal effect
jeantil 20.03.2024
Great effect with great features. Configuration is slightly more complex, due to the quantity of different parameters, however when one gets used to it, it is very simple. Great tool for single singer bands, or individual performers. I only miss possibility to be mounted on microphone stand, but with switch-6 it is possible to control the device widely.

Good bit of kit but somewhat fiddly
Bullitt for Pablo 02.10.2022
Some of the effects sound good but I think there’s only a couple of the vocal harmonies that are actually useable for many songs. Takes a bit of practice, like the onboard tuner and the basic looper

Solid and well made kit. Will persevere it’s it to get more use of the sounds

Good for some things
RipChord 26.07.2019
Th acoustic processing is not that good. The body and tone shaping abilities have a very compressed and processed sound. TC seems to have been 30% focused on the guitar, 70% on the vocals. the vocals processing has frankly waaaaay more options than are necessary and most of the additional voices are very chipmunk-y. I use it simply as an added delay for big songs and as a secondary processor for an additional acoustic channel. Would never use as a standalone for acoustic gigs.

Great vocal effects, acoustic sound not so
Mick M. 29.10.2020
It is pretty fast in correcting your singing and it is has to work hard when I use it! Harmonies are pretty decent for the price you pay. The acoustic guitar sound could be improved. Using a Boss AD10 for that now, linking it to the TC Helicon to make use of the autotune
