TC Helicon Harmony Singer 2 - An Honest Review

[@bbak22]

I like the TC Helicon too.

I got one and out of the box there is a humm or a static noise, depending on if I push the ground button on the side. I'm so not impressed with this unusable pedal. Back to the store with you. Can't hear the harmony over the hum or static noise. DO NOT BUY BEFORE YOU TRY.

You probs just got a lemon. You can clearly hear in my video that mine didn’t have any hum and the harmonies were audible. Good luck!

I have a problem. You have two outputs (one for the microphone, and one for the guitar), so two amplifiers (or only one but with two channels), with the TC-Helicon Gx-t (which works identically) I have the sound of my guitar in one amp and the sound of my voice in another. The Gx-t is an imposing pedal format, I bought a smaller MOOER Harmonier (same principle too), but my voice and my guitar are mixed on the two amps (not great because I want to be able to add distortion sometimes), does the Harmony Singer 2 also have this problem? Thanks 🙂

[@vaiisking]

Yes. In this example, I had both the vocal and guitar outputs going into a AltoTS212 and just adjusted the inputs for each channel (2 of em on the alto) Ideally, you’d have a small mixer.

Three piece band are you sure? Get the other two guys to sing harmony? I’ll get two people that can.

[@vaiisking]

We do have all 3 doing harmonies, but sometimes the drummer has a mental block where singing at the same time as drumming causes timing issues and/or him to go flat in the vocals. I am trying to alleviate some of those 'rough spots' Additionally, I like doing solo acoustic gigs from time to time so I consider the pedal justified.

I found it eats batteries. The one spot 9v power supply kit runs this pedal brilliantly. You get the power adapter and a daisy chain you also get a 9v battery adapter I use it for a boss fs6. I run this pedal a beat buddy a Boss GT1 and a midi maestro and a TC polytune 3 all from this power supply in the UK it’s £39 not sure Stateside but it’s outstanding and so is the harmony singer 2.

[@vaiisking]

Thanks for the advice, I haven't decided if I am going to add it to a pedalboard or just 1 off it and thus not sure how to power it (besides my batteries) just yet.

Who uses batteries? Get a power pack.

You must not have anything to do LOL

[@tonyhodder7954]

I had a bit of static which went by pressing the ground button. Problem solved. I suggest you might need to use a different cable somewhere.

Maybe check your 9V adaptor. If it is center negative. If your adaptor is center positive that will be the outcome it will have statics or humm.
