TC-Helicon Perform-V Full Review!

[@kennrayy]

My bass player just gave me this unit. You've done the best review by far...I haven't even glanced at the instructions. And you didn't insult me by showing the "un-boxing" of the unit - thank you - nice job!!

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Hi , very good review but you didn't talk about vocal harmonies effects on the unit.

[@chrisjames5865]

Well Jen, it appears to be unanimous that you are the review Queen of this product and I'm guessing many more. I wasn't really in the market to get one, I just wanted to see what the Perform V was all about but now I'm gonna have to purchase one because you explained everything perfectly and you made me want one. Merry Christmas to me huh? Haha....GREAT JOB!!

[@davidlong6200]

I thought this Unit also came with harmonies? Not just the effects.

[@derkjanvanvugt]

Thank for your honest review. I have one and indeed the limitation to store the effects is a minor

You can also connect to an iPhone using a camera connection kit or an android phone using an USB OTG cable. Also the latest firmware allows you to dim the brightness

[@JamesRossOnTour]

How? What do I need to connect it to a Samsung s21 ?

Does this do male and female voices or does it just depend on your voice?

[@fredacuneo5180]

Definitely the best review of this product I've seen done. Seeing all of this, I'm pleased that I did not buy one. There are a lot of mixed reviews on this product. I didn't like the pitch correction. Highly unnatural sound.

[@derkjanvanvugt]

Please tell me more about your experience with the pitch correction

[@fredacuneo5180]

It always imparts a sharply robotic type of sound to my voice, almost like using a keyboard. Very unnatural.

[@derkjanvanvugt]

[@blackglory2224]

i wanna buy one but still got some questions in my mind. So in the case that u must to perform and u don't have time for settiings,is the device able to save the settings without being connected to electricity? if yes,for how long?

[@g.r.smurthy62]

Do you think it will.suit if I connect a magnetic pick up with this for my Veena ?

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Hi Murthy, thanks for your comment. In theory yes you could use this unit with your Veena, you would need a Jack to XLR cable to ensure you can get from the pick up to the unit as the unit only has XLR input and output. You may also have to do some work with setting the input gain as the unit is pretty much designed for vocalists exclusively so is designed to handle the input from a voice into a mic. However in theory it will work.If you are looking for an effects unit to work with your Veena and want something specifically tailored to the input from an instrument you should have a look for a comparable on the TC Electronic site.Hope this helps and make sure you subscribe for more TC Helicon reviews in the future.Thanks

[@g.r.smurthy62]

jammstudiosmusic Thanks for the immediate response from you. Is there anyway I can check it before buying one as i would like to be sure before I get one for myself . I am in India Chennai My number is [phone]

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Hi MurthyUnfortunately we aren't a retail outlet so don't have these in stock etc to use, and we are based in the UK.What we would suggest is that you follow the link below to the TC Helicon general enquiry page and send them your question specifying which country you are in and they may be able to direct you to the distributor close to your location.www.musictri.be/support/tchelicon/askquestion Hope this helps

[@kadysmith1976]

Hi Team, I am a Karaoke singer, so how will I connect my laptop to this unit for Track out put and also my mic?

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Hi Kedar. hanks for your question. The unit does have an AUX input but we can't recall whether that's only for headphone monitoring as we can't imagine it is fed through to the mic out and into the system you are using. It would be easier to do the following. plug your mic into the mic in on the unit, then a lead from the mic out too you mixing desk etc, and then plug your tracks into the system separately. hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@kadysmith1976]

Thanks a lot for your reply..Cheers

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Happy to help!

[@cynthiaselene1496]

Awesome review thank you!!!

[@motherbrain2000]

you have the unit as a send or something so that so the original signal is rubbing against the effected signal (they are running in parallel). You can tell because when in "talk" mode you're having phase/flange effects. The pitch correction demonstration is especially hard to judge because typically you would have this unit entirely "wet" and wouldn't here the chorusing effect of a tuned and untuned vocal playing simultaneously. Nice review style but I really think you might want to do this over. It's just unfair to the product (which may or may not stink- I have no idea).

[@TheJAIRCRUZ]

Does anyone know the difference between perform v and vk ?

[@toby1kenobe]

no harmonizer?

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Any experience with the TC Helicon stomp boxes? I'm trying to figure out whether to get the Perform V or some of their pedals. 🤷‍♂️

[@urbnctrl]

Good questions, my guess is that chainlinking a couple of pedals will get you a modular version of this. However this box is optimized for portable use, which might actually impact the quality compared to the options of the stomp boxes which are specialized in 1 effect per box. So far I have only seen one movie where someone chainlinked a couple of stomp boxes and it worked just fine.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

@@urbnctrl my main thinking for the individual pedals is that it seems like it would be easier to switch between effects. For instance how easily can you add _distortion and pitch correction_ to your voice and then switch back to just _reverb?_

[@AlexJOliver]

I look forwards to trying this. I need something to help - not mask - as I feel my way back into fronting bands (been relegated to lead guitar for decades:). A sensible and astute review. It shows how we must sing with the voice we have yet whoever designed this effects unit knew what any singer might require. I'm sure pitch would interfere with vibrato - the one thing singing coaches tell us can help if our singing isn't always on key and it somehow improves tonal quality (it works on guitar too). Having a guitar in hand means I'll let the sound-person do all the switching; but it seems all the fixes we were trying to wring out of the PA are in this box...

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Alex Oliver thanks Alex, were glad you enjoyed the review. It’s a great unit and certainly has been a big help to singers st some of our shows. If you’re looking for one we would suggest getting down to your local TC Helicon retailer and try one out. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for watching!

[@AlexJOliver]

Hah, thank you - no need for me to go shopping. The drummer just got one. As it happens we have gigs and studio work coming up; will let you know how it went if you like.

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Alex Oliver awesome news. Would be great to know if you’ve found any uses we haven’t or any cool settings so your genre.

[@greenrobot5]

Please help. I tried beaming the effects into the perform v with two different phones and nothing happens

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Hi Greenrobot5 thanks for your message. We had a little trouble on the first attempt as well. here's a link to another video we did about the app and the beaming technology.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ybpnZredGfaJqLe did find that we had to hold the phone quite close to the front right hand corner of the unit where there was a little hole that is a microphone specially for the beaming so it takes a few attempts to get used to it.Hope this helps and make sure to subscribe for more!

[@greenrobot5]

jammstudiosmusic yes, I've seen that video too and tried many ways and nothing. I was thinking about updating the perform v through the USB port but I've read people saying that updating messes with other functions of the pedal

[@jammstudiosmusic]

greenrobot5 that’s very strange. We use ours every day in vocal lessons and have had no issues with it since figuring out how to do the beaming. I would suggest contacting TC’s customer support they are very accessible and always really helpful

[@ME-ru4hv]

What the hell! There are like 10 different boxes from tc alone that all do the same stuff! I'm going nuts

[@seven7hsine]

Vt3 or vt4 has almost all the helicon boxes in 1 unit.

[@seven7hsine]

I'm going with the vt3 or vt4 . It has so much more to offer in the effects department.

[@Pengart]

thank you for this video :) im gonna get me one of these :D

[@esauruiz8101]

Ola si ase segunda voz este equipo. Para cantante solistas

[@greenrobot5]

Does it have a robot voice effect? How about to sing a Beatles song, is the doubling enough or do I need another pedal for harmonies?

[@jammstudiosmusic]

greenrobot5 hi greenrobot5, thanks for your comment. It has a wide range of effects especially when teamed up with the apps. One of them does sound a bit robotic. Bear in mind this is the base model in the perform V range so only has a small amount of effects. I would suggest looking at some bigger TC products for better harmony options but the doubling is very good on this model. Hope that helps and thanks for watching

Good review, but not a full review at all. Is there a good review that shows foot switch operation? Or the AUX-in function?

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Thanks for your comment Sean. This is a review of everything that comes in the box. The unit does not ship with a foot switch, and as with an AUX input its clear what these would do. We also a have a separate video to show its integration with the app. Thanks for watching and let us know if theres anything else you would like to see su try out.

Hi Music is Life, thanks for watching, seems you've got this confused with the VG or VK. they have a harmony option. the V only has doubling, reverb and echo. thanks

[@marksantiago22]

what if ive got a bad voice ugly voice is this gadget correct my voice to nicer voice???

[@Stag1314]

Why are you changing your own intonation/ voice type when activating an effect? If you want to show ACTUAL effect then your own voice should remain unchanged.

[@jammstudiosmusic]

Thanks for your comment John, the aim of the demonstrations was to show what would be happening in a performance situation, so changing between intonation and techniques and voice styles. We didn't think doing it any other way would give a rounded approach but we shall bear this in mind for any other products we review. thanks for watching!

[@finnscheler4165]
