VoiceLive 3 Closer Look: Vocals

Tom Lang takes you through some of VoiceLive 3's vocal effects, including the new Harmony Modes, Mixed Mode and Vocoder/Synth, as well as some edit menus.

[@joshboydguitar]

Great video, informative and entertaining. What a fun job to demo this amazing pedal - love the robot samples! Cheers

[@abigailafay]

Hello Tom! Thank you for your great videos! :)

[@vytisknight]

Excellent video,well explained. Thank you

[@wooddog321]

So good. I have two VL3X's. Full time musician. The most comprehensive unit ever. Love it.

[@geeky585]

Another great video TC. Tom and Craig rock. BTW , lovin' my 3. So glad I upgraded from the 2.

[@ConnorArbiter]

This is looking better and better. I'm sold, vocally speaking. Awaiting the Guitar Closer Look for VL3, and hoping this will be as good of a live sound investment as I have been thinking so far!

you helped me out a whole lot. I've had my voicelive3 for over a year and haven't really used it

[@jafferysequeira]

[@egjanuary]

I have to get one of these. Great video. Now we just need a box that can translate my language to another language, and make it rhyme. Some holographic backup singers would be cool too.

[@tchelicon]

+egjanuary We're working on it! ;)

[@thewarhenk]

My saxes and flute are lovin' the VoiceLive Play. Well done!

[@tchelicon]

So glad to hear this Warren! keep on rocking and getting creative with it :)

[@MRicciardi]

I've just bought one. Great for live harmonies. Live performances have always been a drama when it comes to harmonies. Musicians come and go and along with them, backing vocals. I'm not the lead singer but now I can do all harmonies in any voicing I want just by singing lead along with the main singer (I don't send my lead vocal to PA). The result is absolutely fantastic. This is only possible due to the tremendous flexibility of Voice Live 3, including how you build harmonies up, the easy of storage and access and the various output choices.

[@robertlyle3806]

How do you not send your lead vocal to the PA? Thx.

[@MRicciardi]

@@robertlyle3806 I can’t remember the exact details as I haven’t used it in a while. But under each preset settings you have the option to adjust LEAD level. You can have it as low as zero.

[@jkinjazz]

Where did y buy it at buddy? Can u point at? Link? Site???

[@learnpianobyear]

@@jkinjazz hey Johnny. Sorry mate. It was over 6 years ago. Can’t remember. But I still use it and it’s great.

[@handgunner1911]

Í have no time to study my voice live 3. All í want is to transmit the harmonies í do on keyboard thru midi. Manual is not helpful Í would be glad for Any advice Alfonso

[@GuitarProfessor]

I have the Voice Live 2...not sure if I can justify an new one yet, but GREAT product!!

[@bikerbisht110]

Great demo Tom

[@Swayricochet]

thanks, fantastic

[@tchelicon]

Hi Baz, the manual is a bit out of date, since we changed the way the MIDI menu is shown so it's simpler now. Essentially, you've got an input and output section for MIDI. The CC channel and MIDI channel are one in the same. If you're receiving MIDI and see the light on the VL3 screen, you know the channel is correct. Then, you're down to the filters. If you have any filters set, you might be filtering the PC's or CC's. Keep in mind that the filter parameter shows you what you're filtering OUT not what you're letting in.

[@bazaxe]

TC-Helicon Hi again, I have the filters set to "None" in the MIDI menu. There are no filter setting in the Input or Output menus. I have Firmware Version 1.2.02 Build 187. This is so frustrating. It just don't work how it should do. I rely heavily on what the manual is telling me. Maybe my unit is not working properly or something else is amiss 8-( It is receiving the MIDI message but not changing anything. I have raised a ticket with support but until now received no reply. Could it be something specific to certain preset settings?

[@tchelicon]

Baz Axe Hi Baz, what specifically are you trying to control?

[@tchelicon]

TC-Helicon Just as an FYI, the manual mentions a CC channel, but that's been removed and changed to a separate incoming and outgoing MIDI channel. You can't run separate PC and CC channels.

[@bazaxe]

TC-Helicon I raised a ticket with James of Support and now I'm trying to use my Roland FC-300 to offload the guitar layer for control and use the two on-board expression pedals but it appears that I will only be able to do this via sysex which I'm looking into right now. Any advice is warmly welcome.

[@woabeatz9717]

TC-Helicon _hello,are you using compression while demonstrating? or is the mic direct to a mixer...

[@anthonydidamaso]

Hey guys I love your pedals the only question I have is: does the Voicelive 3 have Sidechain Reverb/Delay options? and pitch corrector by Key? thanks.

[@SonicVisualGR]

Hi, thank you for the video ! Is there any way to change the the effect chain ? Is there any way to put effects on parallel or serial mode ? Thank you.

[@padsujad]

Hello. Are the talkbox/vocoder effects comparable to the ones found on the "Talkbox Synth" and "VoiceTone Synth"? I really (really) like the sound of the Talkbox Synth. Also, can the VL3 do the equivalent of the Talkbox Synth's "Classic+" and "Modern+" settings by having the carrier signal and the vocoded robot voice play at the same time? If so, it is time for an upgrade.

[@QuasiSpace1]

Hi ! Looks awesome! But my guestion is, is there still latency between harmony or those synth effects if i a want to use them with beatbox purposes? : ) Thanks !!

[@cappycoup-officialartistch9390]

Hello, great video!! Just bought one yesterday. I’ve been looking for a TC Helicon MP-76 to buy but they are discontinued and I cannot find a used one anywhere. Do you have a source that could get me one? Thank you, Gregg

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

Iv never had any idea during the 90s that technology would bring such useful equipment for music making OMG

[@Itsmypureworld]

I’ve just bought one too. Question: How do you adjust the vocal EQ?

[@LindstrandMusic]

I bought this last week and I really love it. There are a couple of things I've been wondering about. I also have the Harmony Singer pedal and the tone button on that one is fantastic. Can I get a similar quick fix in the VoiceLive 3 or do I have to edit the EQ, compression, De-essing, manually? Also on that pedal, there's a feature, where your harmony button only lights up, when you have your foot on it. When you lift your foot, the effect. turns off. This is one I really miss. If that feature is possible on VL3, how do I acess it? Thanks in advance.

[@tchelicon]

Hi Philip, Tone in VL3 when set to "Adaptive" is the same algorithm as the one in Harmony Singer. You can tweak from there either with the amount controls or by changing various components to manual operation. Tone settings are in the Setup menu.

[@tchelicon]

Hi Sam, sorry I can't reply to your linked comment. You've probably got replies turned off. We feel that the biggest factor in "real" (beyond the ears of the beholder) is the level of the effect. We tend to push the levels in demos, since folks complain when they're hard to hear on KZbin etc. In practice, setting the levels more realistically can really help with the "natural" feel. Digitech makes different note output decisions than we do. I'd classify them as more dynamic, which can be read as "unpredictable" too. So, sometimes the DT unit will make a harmony we think is better than our choice, but then the next time it won't choose the same note, which can be frustrating. We go for a more set-in-stone output, so you can count on it, but if you don't like one of the notes it can be problematic. In VL3 you can create custom scales to get exactly the output you want. There's also a lot of depth to humanization and eq etc. to mess with as well.

[@MAX-tw3qz]

Very occasionally my unit is just dry vocal and I have to press around the place and dial away from the intended patch, only when I go back to it does it regain the said effect, any ideas ?

[@JosephineDeSmet]

are you guys gonna go over the new features of the voice live extreme like you did in these video's?

[@musicofsaintrose]

I have been saving up to get a Voice Live Touch 2 but now I see the VoiceLive 3.... is there a VoiceLive Touch 3 coming out? What should I get?

[@KRConnection]

WOW!!! Very cool ..Very interesting..

[@ericmurray5001]

Hi Tom. Please let me now how to run guitar effects at same time as vocal effects. Also how in the world do I get my wha pedal to activate through VL3. Thank you!

[@DaniilYoll]

Hey guys, how about voice compressor inside TC Helicon 3? i've bought it a few days ago, but didnt find it inside...

[@timdieu2377]

Has anyone got the V3 to harmonize minor chords with Midi input yet? I can get it to Harmonixe Major chords, but it falls over on minor.

[@ersteffe]

Cool! I got the Harmony-M. But I think I got to get one of these. And Tom Lang kind of looks like John Malkovich when in profile! ::)

[@OculusSF]

Sounds great, love the new features. Just curious, will there be a rack version, or will I have to settle for the now-limited features of the current Voicelive Rack?

[@tchelicon]

Hi Oculus, I'm not sure if we'll make a Rack version of VL3. It could be a neat idea for sure!

[@warren52nz]

Just received my VoiceLive 3 today from Amazon but sadly neither the Guitar/Headphone or USB cable were in the box. Hopefully they'll send them to me.

[@shawntim7]

How about the guitar effects demo? And pictures? Planning to have one soon if the gtr effects is nice also!

[@tchelicon]

Just put it out today: VoiceLive 3 - Closer Look - Guitar

[@mikeboof4188]

Deciding on this or the Touchlive 2 mostly for vocals - what do you think?

[@RatishSekhar]

So I've connected the device and facing challenge with separating vocal and Guitar tracks. For example, I want 229 AC Crunch for Guitar and 130 "Arena" for vocals. However once I select 229 and go on to select 130, its changing the guitar effects. Please advise.

[@ErrolGoveas]

Would the Voicelive 3 Extreme work for only vocalist singing with backing tracks and no Guitar or Keyboard connected to the processor? What i mean is that no guitar is connected just a vocal mic. will it still harmonize?

[@carlosvarela4741]

I’ve watched the demos for Vocals, Guitar. (But individually by using the selector looper) Q: it is possible to use the features voice and Guitar simultaneously? Carlos

[@tchelicon]

+Carlos VArela Guitar and Vocal effects are both stored within the presets, so you can have a vocal and guitar sound load at the same time.

[@TheMerlinshawk]

Hi Tom Alex from England again couple of questions when I add a backing track in vlx3 can I add effects to this, sing live and record this and then export the file as mp3 or wav, thank you love all the vids

[@AndreCarryon]

Yes u can pop in a USB stick, hold genre+setup for a couple seconds and it will start audio recording as I willing

[@AndreCarryon]

It will record on the stick, wav, 24bit, 48k. You can't change it. It's always wav file out in your USB stick

[@marcpuystiens1355]

can the machine also be triggered by keyboard chords insted of guitarchords? So can i connect my keyboard on it? Thnx grts frm Belgium

[@GJSolo]

Yes

[@davered]

I've Just got the VL3x, and i love the sound of that synth scale harmony (167) that Tom uses here, but i cant find it in the VL3x, nor can i figure out how to change the harmonies from human to synth. Any tips here guys? or a VL3x preset list?

[@tchelicon]

Dave Red Hi Dave, here's a link to the entire VL3 factory preset bank. You'll need to be on the most recent firmware for compatibility and use VoiceSupport to import them. Hopefully it's in there. If not, it may have been a one-of that Tom made for the video. dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40864719/VoiceLive%203%20Factory%20Presets%20Firmware%202.0.01.syx

[@ozskipper]

in this modern age, why cant i connect a usb cable between my vl3 and a smart phone/tablet and record live video and audio via the onboard camera.?

[@skyluna_music]

Great video, i saw a someone map the tap tempo for delay, on the "step" button... how can i do that? i have the voicelive 3 extreme

[@lakegirlroxy9852]

Do you set your guitar up first with the guitar button, and then switch to vocals and dial that in, and then what….how do you save both together? Thank you

[@Robynloveshred]

Excellent Video Tom, By the way do you know if you can use an audio Instrumental to track the pitch?

[@flyingsnowman6727]

where can I find the NP SYNTH2 and SYNTH SCALE HRM presets on the Extreme 3?

[@MrTomanderson76]

Will the VoiceLive 3 Vocals work well with finger-style guitar? I do lots of John Denver, Jim Croce etc.

[@tchelicon]

Finger style can be a bit tricker for us to get good chord information from, but in cases where you find it's not quite hitting the mark it's always possible to set key/scale manually within a preset. That will cover both cases.

[@Galush_Music]

How do the harmonies work without a guitar input? I’m a beatboxer/vocal looper and I wouldn’t have that guitar line to inform the harmonies.

[@mirandazohran]

Hey I have a question that i really am struggling with, is it possible on the VL3X to use more than one doubler on a given preset. I wanna remap Umod to a second doubler or second reverb with totally different settings in addition to ones already in the preset. Can i do it or do i have the limitation in DSP of only ONE doubler/delay/reverb/harmony effect per preset? Thanks :)

[@jasondonovan1408]

How do I turn off the guitar sound but keep it sensing chords? I want to use it with no guitar sounds from the guitar coming out. Right now I hear the guitar sound in addition to vocals from the main outputs.

[@pyannaguy4361]

Can you PLEASE tell me how I can use my Korg Kronos as my accompanying instrument and have the VL3X grab the KEY from my chords but NOT affect the sound of my keyboard? I think I see a great tutorial on this very issue, but it's in GERMAN!! HELP?

[@VancityDavis]

When doing the vocal to match the chords played...how is it hooked up in the back of the unit? Struggling to figure that out. Where are the cords going. Mic, guitar, in and out etc...thanks in advance.

[@rodneyharris4352]

I noticed when you did one of the vocal sounds (Lucy Skye) it says preset 51 and it says 1V Pedal & Fixed but that preset (#51) is actually called AC Two High? So where did you find or build this preset and how?

Hi! Love this, but I already have a dedicated guitar setup, does TC Helicon have another device with this same vocal features and without the guitar modeling? Thanks!

[@tchelicon]

Moisés Gómez No we don't offer an exact device with no guitar processing, but you can use VL3's IN/THRU to bypass all the guitar stuff. Run your guitar directly into the VL3's IN, then go from the THRU to your rig. It's just a buffered bypass to capture the chords and won't affect your tone, so you can just keep using your current rig. The only caveat is that you can't loop guitar sounds with that setup since all internal guitar processing is muted.

Nice, can I connect a guitar and a keyboard at the same time???

[@hassenielsen]

OK thanks for the answer

[@yannickwilde]

Hi there - just bought the VL3 extreme and really liking it. Would love to know if it's possible to create and save entirely new presets while not deleting/ loosing the existing factory presets? ie. can I alter an existing preset and save it somewhere new under a new name on the device?

[@tchelicon]

Sure can. When you modify an existing preset and want to save it as new, press the Store button once. You can then choose "Store To" and save it to a different location. It's there that you're able to choose a preset location that is currently unused. The way it works in box is that there is a factory bank that takes up the first couple hundred presets. Let's say it's 250 for the example. You'd "Store To" and choose preset 251. That will create a "new" preset at slot 251, just past the factory bank. You can also use "Store To" to overwrite any preset that already exists.

[@gazerking]

Hey TC Helicon, is the voice live 3 capable of doing all harmonies on a Harmony singer 2?? thanks

[@tchelicon]

Yes!

[@jamiemurphy5632]

can I plug a synthesizer into it

[@alexanderwong7073]

amazing . I am thinking of using it in live shows. Can these effects be played in a particular order and trigerred off by a footswitch or software like Qlab or a Nanopad?

[@tchelicon]

Alexander Wong All the effects can be controlled directly via the footswitches or by changing presets. There are MIDI CC's for on/off of each effect and if you're into the Sysex world, you can get access to pretty much any parameter in the box.

[@LFOVCF]

Salivating! Great demo! Rather oddly, the prices for this are all over the place, £350-589!

[@tchelicon]

+LFOVCF Yeah, that can definitely happen after a product has been available for a while. Purchase price doesn't affect warranty on a new unit, so go for the best price you can find from a dealer you trust.

[@EricInTampaAcoustic]

TC H, how would you generalize the overall product advantage over the VL2? I hear many people they are saying their VL2 would be nearly as capable with downloadable firmware? Is the expanded looper functionality a force multiplier? Could you do a video explaining how your other award-winning voice and guitar pedals are integrated into the VL3?

[@reesemartin8729]

TC-Helicon, are the harmony mixing vocal modes as featured here in the Voicelive 3 also available in the Voicelive Play? Thanks!

[@tchelicon]

Control of the individual voices isn't available in Play. You can choose combinations of the voices through the styles but not tweak them to the level of the VL3.

[@turkerotcu]

How about processing power on this new unit?Reason I'm asking is, this summer I used Voicelive Play GTX (white one) every night..First of all I noticed processing delay when I was using internal guitar processing (not going out thru) When it comes some acoustic soloing, you could literally feel that it wasn't coming out as you play, and it would threw me off on many occasions.. so I stopped using internal guitar processing and passing out from thru to my other processor.. I also noticed that when use "AutoTune Radio" when I move to next preset in the same song quickly, machine was not able to immediately quit the radio effect, sometimes looping was happening some weird stuff was happening. I was blaming on the not adequate processing power on the machine and maybe very heavy presets etc etc.. So I'm not sure if you acknowledge what I'm talking about and if you could put some input or comparison on the matter. We appreciate TC and great work being done. Thank you. Turk

[@thisisme4858]

Please help man. I just want some instructions of how to solder the barrel plug to the other one. I need to make this device portable. Iv purchased a new psu for the vl3 i just need some instructions on how you do it

[@tapmout1]

where or how do I get that fixed and pedal harmony that he is singing in playing in a rock and roll band at the same time. Just got the product yesterday. This thing is so cool. I would like to find a harmony for the songs of the Eagles and the Doobie brothers. Any suggestions and far as setting that up?

[@tchelicon]

I'd start with just setting up a couple of presets with different harmony voicings like "High", "Low", "High and Low" etc. and save them next to each other. Start experimenting with which voicings work best with the songs as-is and then start mucking about with adding a pedal voice etc. as you learn where the stock voices fit into things.

[@tupunakaiaruna2757]

hi there how to hook up the in and out to the keyboard if it's possible

[@sergiol.schettino1962]

Muy bueno Gracias !!!

[@danielvolgan]

hey guys, just got my VL3X, amazing product. I was so excited that by the time it got here I had read the whole manual and seen like 90% of the videos on youtube. Now I am exploring and I have a question. Is there a way to make the delay skip the first repetition or delay the start of the repetitions??? I'm working on the song psycho circus from kiss and there is the part where it repeats show, show, show, after the chorus (i would like to make a step with this), but it is not uniform. Maybe I'm just mistaken but how could I do that, if possible? Thanks.

[@tchelicon]

Heya Daniel, you're wanting it to repeat at full volume? If that's the case, set the delay feedback to 100% and the level to 0dB. Then, scroll further down the edit screen and turn trails OFF. That will kill the echos as soon as you turn off the switch. You'd turn on the delay when you sing "Show" and then it'll repeat "Show" at full volume (forever if you never turn off the effect). The "Trails" command is per-preset so you can make one preset or step that acts that way. Does that help?

[@danielvolgan]

Hey, thanks for the quick response. That's an interesting trick to know, but what I need is like I want 3 repetitions but the first it mute. I sing "show" and it repeats "pause", "show", "show". If it's not there, I leave it as a suggestion for a future update to add a time delay (or a mute time) before the repetitions start to kick in. Hope I was clearer in my question. And by the way, how to work with "portamento"? Which parameters affect it? Thanks again. Cheers.

[@tchelicon]

Ah yep I understand what you're saying. I don't think we have the ability to skip the first repeat. I've also asked for a way to have the delay taps only sent to harmony or other effects so you could do a call and answer type thing. All fun stuff to think about for future products. For portamento, I assume you're talking about in relation to harmony? If so, it's basically the amount of "slide" between the generated harmony notes. Adding varying amounts (but not very much) to each voice can give each harmony a bit more personality. Too much and they become drunk off their a$$ haha

[@danielvolgan]

Yes, you got it. But it's just software, I'm sure it could be implemented in VL3X in a future update. All cool ideas. Thanks for the explanation on portamento. Some adjustments are very subtle. I am trying to master most of them but it takes some time. Thanks again and keep up with the good work. Cheers.

How are you Expression pedal how should choose

[@claudeedgarruest6212]

I play a VL3 but i would love to have a few hints of what would make my talkbox work well...what can be the mistakes or the wrong settings preventing it to work properly

[@tchelicon]

Hey Claude! The TC Helicon forum has a few great discussion board discussing exactly this! So on our website under "community" you can search and find all related discussions! I thought this one might be helpful for you to get started with. Good luck! forum.musictribe.com/showthread.php?19837-Talkbox-Synth&highlight=talkbox

[@BenRanger]

Hi TC-Helicon. i have a voice live 3 pedal and the voice fx 150 but can not understand how to set them up properly to get a clear sound when using a guitar and mic. there are no videos to show how to set them up. can you make a video showing how to set them up to each other ? by the way great piece of gear

[@tchelicon]

+Ben Ranger The simplest connection to FX150 is to use the headphone output on VL3 to the Aux input on FX150. That leaves the other two channels free on the FX150 for other inputs, like another mic.

[@genevieveannsejera2856]

Which is better tc Helicon Acoustic play or this ?

[@andrelousada]

How does it compare to the Helicon 2?

[@cranstjs]

Hi B; You mention at minute 7:30 or so, where you can plug a synthesizer into the Aux jack. I was wondering if that is from the headphone jack output or from the actual main output of the synth? In other words, the manual shows plugging an MP3 player into the Aux jack. That is typically a headphone level signal. I have both available. Please advise. Thanks.

[@tchelicon]

Jeffrey Cranston The Aux in jack is set up to take devices like phones, HP outs and other line type level signals. That said, the mains from a keyboard work just fine. They tend to be closer to line level than mic.

[@cranstjs]

Thanks!

[@TristanHurd]

It would be awesome if the harmony scroll order would modulate around the circle of 5ths/4ths instead of chromatically so that you can move through keys in an order that would make musical sense (aka adding sharps or flats). This would be FAR a more useful tool for working musicians than the current system. Also the inclusion of more exotic scale options and church modes would be great. Props to TC for choosing harmonies of the non-diatonic pitches that work great in the harmonizer, btw!

[@AdamFBuchanan]

i just bought an extreme. i have a problem. or im confused. i do not have any dry output from xlr 'voice - L mono' output when 'mono output' mode in setup menu is selected. What I mean is NO sound/signal can be heard when no effect is on. And activating an effect e.g delay or reverb or (it would seem) doubling etc, results in hearing only those wet output signals. This also occurs if the output mode is set to ‘stereo’, in this instance both left and right voice outputs only output fx wet signal.

[@aslluck]

You can have dry outpun on ‘mono output’ R line. And dont forget to change R output from guitar to vocal. Hope it helps!

[@naimabdool2911]

Hello! Im looking at the harmonies being done at 4.00 and a bit after that .. can these be achieved with both the voice and harmony coming through without the guitar being heard or recorded? I may want to use this to record demos. Thanks for any info :)

[@tchelicon]

+naim abdool Yep, what you'd want to do is connect the guitar outputs separately. That removes guitar from the main outs so you isolate the vocals but still gives you a guitar output to hear as you play along.

[@AIDVisuals]

Hey folks, is it possible to just have 5 self made presets and quickly to go through them on the gig. That is what I need, not like 200 of them.. Is that possible ? Without too much interaction with a pedal ? :)

[@abstractg6394]

Please Please Please! Tell me a rack version is coming?

[@leolehepuu2313]

does this thingie have compressor included? allso i want to know about voicelive touch. i go live with fonograms.. does voicelive touch make me more into the song ? i mean decent echoes and compressing.

[@tchelicon]

+leo lehepuu Yep, both have compression as a part of the Tone function. VL3 offers you some further control of the compressor in a manual mode, Touch does not. Touch and VL3 both have a wide variety of echos available.

[@kmzproton]

Hi! Can the unit be used with a keyboard and guitar at the same time (keyboard for chord tracking and guitar for effects processing and amp simulation), while getting the lead note form a vocal mic? Or would it result in one cancelling the other?

[@tchelicon]

kmzproton If you have the guitar into the guitar input and the keys via the Aux (and or MIDI) you can swap instruments back and forth for NaturalPlay. Simultaneously playing keys/guitar through the guitar effects might sound cool, but the chord detection could get unpredictable.

[@dondro5749]

Tom, I have a VL3 which I haven't used on a gig yet and I've just bought a new Shure Beta 87A. I know I need to change the mic to condenser on the VL3 but do I also have to switch my mixer ( Mackie Profx12) to 48V? Sorry for the basic question but I bet you'd know.

[@tchelicon]

Heya Don, run the VL3 with "condenser" as the mic and turn phantom off on your mixer.

[@FuntasticK9Training]

Hi there, How would I connect my TC HELICON voicebox to my Bose compact L1 system?

[@tchelicon]

Lise Lo You can connect directly from the XLR outputs of the TC-H device to the Mic input on the L1. Make sure you flatten the EQ's on the L1 and watch out for correct gain staging between the devices. This video tells you all about gain etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6KTcoKqlst8oNU Even though it's "Mixer Setup" it's identical to how you'd approach the L1.

[@franktraynor]

Question: I need something like this for vocals, but don't need any of the guitar FX, what other product that you have is the right choice for that? (I do play guitar while I sing, but I control the effects for that from my pedal board)

[@tchelicon]

You can use the guitar in/thru on VL3 which will still capture guitar chords for key/scale detection but will mute all the internal guitar sounds. You'd go into the VL3, thru to your pedals and on to your amp.

[@franktraynor]

Thanks!! Love your pedals!!
