Do you have to have a guitar into it or can you get the harmony just with the mic in and outs

[@batmany2k]

I have had that for 2 Years now it just kicks ass never play with out it

[@bandadvicetv]

Let me know if you do and how it works out for you

I bought this about a week ago and at the first attempt I setup to my both Lava me 4 and Yamaha silent Guitar with proper connection it works up to a less than one minute and it stops working by turning the green LED light to red freeze...!!!! I also disconnected all the cables and the Guitar from the pedal and I turned the pedal ON without any connection and same thing happens top right LED goes from green to red and freezes..!! This was out of the box brand new..!! Someone Please help ... ( batteries installed)

Nice informative video of the pedal. unless I missed something, it would be extremely helpful to demonstrate one take without the effects for comparison.

[@bandadvicetv]

Thanks for the feedback. I will definately keep that in mind with future videos. I appreciate it.

[@konjunto2477]

Hi so how do you connect this to an electric guitar/amp that only has one channel. Right now i have it connected to my Fishman Loudbox Artist that has two channel/ Thank you.

[@bandadvicetv]

The pedal has an instrument thru, so I would go from the guitar, to the harmony singer, then out the inst thru to your effects/amp/di. Since it uses what your are playing on the guitar to identify the key, it can work on the clean tone directly from your guitar.

Question : when i don't need the " choir" , and i'm singing as soloist, does the reverb works anyway or does it work ONLY if i'm using the harmonies? Thank you so much. Patrick from Italy 👋

[@jacocrause]

Yes. The footswitch toggles between harmony+reverb+tone, reverb+tone, and tone only

[@patrickbuzzo1970]

@@jacocrause Jaco, thanx again, you are a kind person ! All my best to you. Patrick

[@bandadvicetv]

Thanks Jaco for answering Patrick’s question. My apologies for not responding quicker.

Great Video. With these TC pedals, do you know if can you control the effect when monitoring? As in, can you separate the mix for floor monitors, and front of house?

[@bandadvicetv]

Thanks. The guitar in/out is not part of the mix in the vocal in/out. So if your board allows it, you can control the monitor mix between the guitar and vocals, but the mix between lead and harmony vocals is solely mixed on the pedal.

[@deepzepp4176]

@@bandadvicetv Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. Reason I asked was I am looking at getting the TC VoiceTone E1 Delay pedal for vocals. Do you know if the delay mix can be separated for the monitors, without affecting the front of house delay mix? Because I don't think TC pedals can run through an Aux on a board. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again.

[@bandadvicetv]

Sorry, I havent looked into the VoiceTone, if you decide to get it, I’d love know what you think of it. Thanks

[@deepzepp4176]

BandAdviceTV No problem. Thanks for your help. Yes, I’ll let you know.

[@andrewroach9341]

Is this setup without a guitar amp?

[@bandadvicetv]

Yes, in this case the guitar is going in to the pedal solely for the purpose of identifying the key, but i’m micing it instead of going out of the guitar passthrough to an amp or board. If you normally plug your guitar into an amp or di, then you’d come out of the harmony singer into those.

[@jadestewart3519]

So what if you playing rock guitar and using backing tracks so what is only works with a clean sound

[@bandadvicetv]

I haven’t tried that yet, I will soon and get back with you.

[@RooneyGMS]

nifty stuff! thanks for sharing!

[@bandadvicetv]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelogden5093]

Sounds processed. Sort'a like a chorus pedal that isn't working right.

[@bandadvicetv]

Yeah, just like with autotune or pitchshifters, theres that sweet spot where it really adds to it, but go beyond it, it starts to sound fake. Thanks for tuning in

[@saintsfc101]

Mmmm. I think it sounds great, just that some settings aren't as effective as others. Like most pedals, I expect you find one or two settings you like, and don't go near 95% of them because they sound weird. The one or two that do work are what matter. In fact, in an ideal world you just pick one set of settings that improve your performance, work with your voice and don't sound processed (like the first couple in this video) then simply click the pedal on and off. Happy days.

[@bandadvicetv]

Exactly. You’re not going to get The Eagles harmonies out of it, but using it subtly, it can add some body and fullness to your vocals

[@jonschwindt3064]

Too much talk

Skip the first 5 mins of this blabbermouth

I agree, longwinded. Lol
