TC Helicon Play Acoustic Demo!

[@bennyhill3505]

I know it's an old video, but I like Craig. You can tell he knows his equipment,and loves his equipment too.

[@greendunn1]

This is a great gear review!!! Someone who knows nothing about it is getting turned on to it and a genuine reaction. Great job Anderton crew.

[@bdhere1]

Both Craig and Emma were awesome. Really enjoyed this vid.

[@heitorvrb]

It's very cool to have that kind of reaction on a gear demo!

[@andertons]

Its always great when you capture the first response to something, Emma was great!

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

Amazing technology. I love TC stuff and have a bunch of their pedals- looking for gear to do a solo acoustic pub act and this is an absolute no-brainer.

[@dafunlovincriminal9508]

Great product demo! Really, thats how it should be done. I can't sing a lick and I want to go get a TC Helicon Acoustic. Emma was a class act.

[@Justanotherguy39]

This is the best demo I've seen of the play acoustic, before this it all sounded kind of robotic. She sounds human and very good. Just goes to show the artist matters as much as the product. Plus it wasn't rehearsed so it was like discovering the product.

[@trevcornwall8160]

Cool gadget! For the solo gigging artist! Sweet voice on that girl! And she was right there with the Spinal Tap reference! She's very cool hahaha

[@dong1872]

A very very useful and enthusiastic demo

[@crazy-4-cooking]

Gentle acustic guita and a sweet calm voice is the perfect match to Show what this gear can do. Customers like Emma will really benefit at gigs in a small noisy Pub with lousy accoustic for sure. As listener I sometimes had the Feeling that gentle voices sometimes lost frequencies and Expression in cases like that. With the right gear you can add a Little bost without having to crank up the volume.

[@ITellUStraight]

Andertons, you wanna sell a TC Helicon product? ... this will do it ! much, much better than the other recent one with B and his girl.. Well done on this. Really good, fresh and spontanious.

[@rossnoone9368]

Well explained on the singing section.

[@spacep0d]

Body res(onance) is fantastic. Nice demo. Haha on the Autotune™ reference. I could see metal bands leaving the harmony on with pitch down for a little DevilHorn® effect. Really nice that there's beat-matched delay and such too.

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

That is inTENSE that it can "Listen" to the chord and vocal melody and "figure out" which note is the best to harmonize with.

[@ErinVarley]

What a great sales video. Fantastic job.

[@saharatwibulpakdi]

I enjoyed the demo a lot. Thank you.

[@simonandthelyricalpoets]

What a lovely review!

[@multimedija-studio]

The best review... Great voice.

[@Taylor___]

Lovely video.

[@Кий-у3ч]

The robotic harmonies destroyed everything, but when she was using just an adaptive tone, I like it. As she said, it adds more clarity and air to your voice. Seems like you actually need to learn how to sing but at least it can give a 10-15% boost to your voice when performing live.

[@Romper_Stomper]

Great demo!

[@officialWWM]

11min mark, the joy on her face when she hears whet it's doing :)

[@andrewm6329]

This was really good - I think I need to get myself one!

[@b.j.surfdog3724]

Nice Demo. Does emma have a last name and sample of her stuff? cool pedal.

[@estevensmusic]

[@djlyonol]

Great review! What's Emma's full name? Where can we find out more about her music? like a fb page, youtube channel? Thank you ;)

[@jonathanbrazee3846]

This guys like, omg I'm talking to an actual girl!

[@akwamarsunzal]

Nice product! Great review! Would like to hear the use of it with a male voice...

[@DylanMuetterties]

Very Cool... :) Also you just changed her life introducing her to loopers! Every guitarist should own at least one. Stay Brutal! :)

[@jmpascoe]

This is definitely one of the better reviews of a vocal harmony pedal - man there are some real stinkers out there - but why in every video, including this one, do they have the harmony so wet? My opinion is that all vocal harmony pedal only sound okay when not overused. It changes based on the input gain and the type of pedal being used but I'm usually reluctant to go any higher than 25 percent. I wish they would back off with these demo videos so you can hear what the harmony function sounds like when used properly..

[@rokspodcast2571]

Ok, im in, chicks got it goin on. Great voice.

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

Got one of these coming next week- looking forward to getting into the features. I'm working on doing a solo acoustic pub gig and this is just amazing technology. I've loved TC stuff for years.

[@Taylor___]

@11:02 he’s like ‘yep I’m in love’

[@cadinhosantos4726]

Good morning. Can you tell me which is better? Helicon play acoustic or voice live play gtx. And I sing and play guitar. please I would like to know if you can tell me if the boss ve8 is better than the helicon.I do not know which one to buy.

[@Allanfrancisxavier]

cadinho santos Great question. TC helicon play acoustic is the best. There's few things you don't get with TC us delay on the guitar. But boss VE 8 sounds great for the acoustic guitar. If you are advance guitar player and you can set up manually then boss Is the way too go. Granted it's a bit more expensive. Also there's Digitech vocalist. Which is really amazing it seats right with the other two products. Way cheaper. I think it's about 199USD. But if you don't want to worry about it more and you want great tone, patches, harmony, etc right out of the box. Then easy choice TC helicon play acoustic is your choice. I've ordered one myself.

[@seppeherreman3775]

The harmonies, do they work without a guitar, just your voice?

[@LJG781]

I like the sound of this over my fishman arua spectrum...And I also am using a Taylor ( K14ce)

[@Acoustribute]

It's built in DI sounds pretty good then? Considering getting a VL3X but I've wanted a Fishman Aura for a while. You primarily use this as your DI and your happy with it?

[@LJG781]

+Acoustribute I plug into the Aura Spectrum and straight into the PA system....and I was very happy with it, until I heard this.....I guess I'm a tone chaser,,,,and the sound he is getting in this video, is what I'm after.....Now The audience always compliments my guitar tone....so I guess out their it sounds good.....but this is the sound I want to hear.... just my opinion.....

[@Acoustribute]

+LJG781 I'm the same way with tone. Recently switched over to those nano web Elixir strings after playing them on a Taylor guitar. Just had the sound I wanted... If you don't mind me asking one more question I was wondering if you've used it (the play acoustic) for recording applications and if so how you liked it?

[@LJG781]

+Acoustribute I never bought the play acoustic.....still just running my spectrum through the pa....

[@MayhemJack]

Can you feed it through an interface or a multitrack, and monitor it live?

[@ElliotStent]

Her manager was one of my lecturers at uni last year, small world... XD

[@4instanceuk]

Because this has only got a DI out for guitar will the body effects and additional affects still work if you put other pedals like a Boss Delay pedal in between this and your guitar?

[@HajtoTimaSek]

Clap, clap, clap.....

[@francisalmeida5678]

Hi. Can we use a harmonica to play with the TC Hellicon

[@carolecoulson3384]

perhaps you could do a demo based on that?

[@AnderDoUrden]

This demo is awesome. Wonderful job.

[@Simon-80]

Bought it now

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

What type of microphone are you using?

[@lennykurlou]

I know I'm late but, can you use a foot pedal on this device? can you direct me to how i can get the button installed on my Shure microphone to use with TC Helcon? Let me know if it's possible.

[@fleauscm]

The song 18:53 is a definite shark slapper!!

[@eikcam55]

Is there a phase shifter in there under the guitar effects?

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

How does this sound with a ukulele? And how many loops can you save?

[@moyah88]

its all good what make is the guitar

[@JoostvanDijk100]

Great, friendly voice and music! And a great review too! This actually made me buy one and i'm super happy with it! Using it lot (check my songs if you want hear how it works on my voice) Thank you. if it would run on batteries it would be a great tool to do amplified busking too. :)

[@smple009]

I Would definately want to hear the quality through headphones first b4 buying it but i want one

[@lilbasedboi]

where should i put this in the pedal chain order

[@philixphilip5599]

Can i connect keyboard / Pianos ? or is it limited to only guitar ?

[@VajrahahaShunyata]

You can. This one is geared for acoustic guitar but keyboards will work and guide the harmonies

[@trevcornwall8160]

No animals were harmed in the making of this video haha

[@Olhaogabverso]

"unless it's Mayer" hahahahaha

[@jackercrackbox]

Can you turn down the amount of harmony your vocals get??

[@thewatcher611]

Yes you can change levels of the parts, as well as intervals.

[@AJL200]

Great shark percussion at 19.00....

[@carolecoulson3384]

will it cure my out of tune singing?

[@MaurizioBonesi]

way cool stuff!! (by all means! ;) )

[@HUDDYPLAYSGAMES]

So many videos with this pedal and everyone cranks the harmonies up to make it sound awful. When they are much lower, the sound is subtle and sounds so much better.

[@VajrahahaShunyata]

Very true👍

[@emscom2379]

Take my money....lol....Funny thing is I am looking to set up an open mic acoustic night gig and this will be perfect for musicians.

[@tk91174]

Anyone know if I can assign the HIT button to boost the guitar level for acoustic lead solos?

[@smple009]

+tommy tkristensen I doubt it, not sure but it has an expression pedal input on the back, just buy a cheap pedal, then you can adjust the settings levels and probably use to control other effects

[@josephjimorris]

The pedal jack is for an expansion pedal like the TC Switch 3 or 6. It adds extra footswitch buttons that can be programmed. It’s not an expression input as far as I know.

[@sfrerku]

does it have compressor?

[@smple009]

+Sebastián Frerk yes

[@Estraiper]

I have to buy a special mic o i can use a clasic microphone shure sm 58¿

[@b.j.surfdog3724]

never mind....found the info in the area below the video.

[@ethantillotson4332]

only 15 sec of loop? on the box it's advertised as "infinite looping". thats a little misleading

[@smple009]

+Ethan Tillotson that is what you call a justified lie.you only get 15 second loop time but you can add infinite voices over that 15 secs

[@paulvcarter]

I can't sing for toffee, will it make me sound in tune?.......that would be my main problem....LOL

[@andertons]

Its does have built in Pitch Correction so I am sure it would help... depends on how out of tune you are I guess... There are other ways of getting hold of Toffee's though!?!

[@junrobot]

He's throwing so much information at her there's no way she can retain that geesh.

[@bombsarefalling5518]

Yes…. Because I’m far more worried about how much she can take in than I am about wanting a demo of its capabilities … geesh

[@soulsweet40]

she reminds me of the singer Jewel somewhat

[@LetzBeaFranque]

In the states the beginning of this video would have been considered sexual harassment. It's nice to see that a man in the UK can show appreciation for the presence of a female without being brought up on sexual harassment charges, fired from his job and fried by the media.

[@robinr22]

These days, it would be here too. Creepy for sure...

[@nomadinmusic375]

It's interesting how Craig and Emma go from 'oh hello,' to 'Sweet jesus take me home and let's do the dirty dance' in the course of one video. Besides all that, looks like an awesome product for singer/songwriters. Shame the looper is only 15 secs in stereo though.

[@andertons]

Erm... Thanks for sharing your "interesting" observation... No Dirty Dances took place in this video or as a result of this video. The real romance of the day was Craig and Jack.

[@nomadinmusic375]

Andertons Music Co Awww. Such a shame! Honestly, I thought that Emma and Craig really had something going. Oh well.

[@wisconsinbadger9339]

+Nomad in Music LOL that's exactly what I was thinking... but maybe more one sided. At 10:54 "Oh god those legs... don't look... don't look... ah damn, I did again!" Besides the obvious female gitters, fun loving peeps, though!

[@denmut]

She is really cute. Sorry I had to do it :D

[@officialWWM]

Deniz M she looks like she's starving to death!

[@toneranger]

I have one, it's great but does not have a thru output for the guitar so it means you have to use it for your guitar sound, so if you switch between electric and acoustic or want more control it's a pain. Used subtlety it's great but all demos including this mix the harmony way too high. Craig is great

[@nonitogeli2470]

The demo part is not clear for a beginners like me I won’t be able to see it is on the floor too dart

[@SMAP757]

Wassup with the habitual knee slaps? Lol

[@guitargeek1984]

Nina Hartley ?

[@Samos12]

Only good one was the first [more natural] one! I use mine on more natural settings, and that feels less artificial...

[@micktmusic]

I’ve just bought one 2nd hand. I’m getting into it. I like some of the presets as favourite but like you say, I’m already hunting for a more natural sound. Care to share the setting you use please ?

[@VajrahahaShunyata]

Just don't over use the harmonies. Lower the levels and they sound more natural. Keep the auto tune really low as well👍

[@LFOVCF]

She does smell great though!

[@michaelbennett8981]

It's like a match made in heaven. When Harry met Sally

[@FinnBjerke]

A choir of robots on steroids? Live you need an engineer Robot too.

[@martinafranko42]

Die Alte sieht aus wie von MR. Bean Freundin LOL

[@LFOVCF]

Either that mic sucks or the gain needs turning up, because unless she's almost swallowing it, the vocal drops away, and so does the harmony. The problem with that, is the popping of plosive sounds ("b p" etc) sounds amateurish.

[@paullock5294]

To much Talking not enough demonstration of the description of the feature,

[@sabinoranieri6570]

scusatemi se spigate in ligua italiano forse si capirebbe meglio grazie

[@MJpodolig]

the looper of this play acoustic sucks!

[@johndoe5743]

Sounds artificial.. I don't like it

[@jonlarkster]

AGAIN , nobody dares to give with any of these " vocal " boxes the ultimate test - of how accurately the harmony really sounds - by eliminating instruments and boosting the harmony above the natural voice . since i already have processors , reverbs , etc. i find this demo totally useless.

[@maurosaverio]

Great little toy and that’s what it is…a toy. Sadly another move away from human element performance to faking everything.
