TC Helicon HARMONY SINGER Vocal Effects Stompbox with Guitar-Controlled Harmony, Reverb and Tone

The reviews were right. The "Tone" button alone (+ the mic gain) is worth the price. I don't think I can - or want to - sing without the extra boost anymore. If you don't go overboard with the harmony levels (I never go beyond 2 or 3), they sound quite natural. It will create harmonies even without the guitar plugged in, but of course, they sound way better while following the instrument signal. I ran it through both an acoustic amp and Alto speakers with the same, great results. The harmonies are not perfect but as a vocal enhancer, this little pedal is amazing. The reverb function - specially on "Room" setting- is also really nice. I got this as a cheaper alternative to Electro Harmonix's Voice Box (who needs the Vocoder or the 'whistle mode' anyway?) and I am more than pleased. It's a great, enjoyable toy that makes singing a breeze and/or a great tool for live performance.

LATEST UPDATE: 6-25-21. It's been working great again for about a year. Not sure what caused the problems earlier, but it could have been something I did. Just not sure. But, loving it again now ;) UPDATE: After using this successfully for a few months, I can no longer use it. The Harmonies are all over the place and it sounds really bad now. I stopped using it and started looking into what the issue is. Evidently, it is a common one. They even suggest a "Firmware Update" to try and resolve it. Haven't done it yet, but when I get some time I will attempt it. I've heard that it helps and then hear it doesn't help. So we'll see. I liked it when it worked. But, if it stops working, what's the point? It's now useless. I'll try and remember to update this when/if I update the firmware....which I gotta figure out how to do. ORIGINAL POST: I play in a duo, but we're not the best on harmonies. Decided to try this out and it seems to work pretty well. I'll attach a very short clip. I fingerpick this song, but notice before I click the Harmony Singer, I strum a full chord. It seems to follow chords better than fingerpicking. I've also got the settings turned up a little more than usual, so you can really hear the Harmony Singer. It can be a lot more subtle. On this one I have 2 harmonies instead of one. I think a 3rd and 5th above what I'm singing. Hope this helps. - SF

I am an acoustic guitar player in my 60's. After jamming with a friend who is a real pro performer, last year, I decided (after he stuck a mic in my face) to buy a microphone and give singing a try, after a lifetime of telling myself that it wouldn't be possible. I bought a Boss VE-2 vocal pedal. I achieved enough progress that family and friends thought that I was on to something, and should keep going. The pedal was fine. Lots of features. Maybe too adjustable. But the only pedal I knew. I recently bought the Harmony Singer 2 just to try. I received it yesterday. I played around with it for a couple of hours. It is by far the better choice for me. More straight forward. The harmonies sound more natural. The vocals in general have a little more power and are much clearer than the Boss pedal. Less feedback issues. This is a great value. Takes less space on my pedalboard. Buy it! I now believe that any musician should at least give singing a real shot. Go onto your favorite guitar chord web site. Transpose the song closer to your vocal key. Don't be afraid to use a capo when needed. Give yourself at least several months to see if there is a spark there. This pedal with a quality XLR mic and an acoustic guitar might take you farther than you imagined. It's not auto tune. This is really fun and I'm excited to play more now, than ever. Singing has made me a better player. IMO a vocal pedal is a must to get you started.

Plug and play. Perfect for a guy who’s never tried this type of technology and wants an easy solution to thicken up the sound and learn how to use harmonizers better..

Works great! Easy to set up!

Mine came but did not work. I am sending it back. Also they don’t include the 9v adapter which I think is just a cheap cheesy move. It doesn’t work with the batteries or an adapter. If I could give this a minus 10 I would.

I haven't used it much but it is fun to play with and adds something when I entertain without another vocal with me.

I tried the digitech and Boss harmonizers, and the TC Helicon sounded better to my ears. I've been playing for over 50 years and this is the smoothest, cleanest harmony machine I have found so far. There are other units that sound better, have more features etc, HOWEVER, for the $209 I paid, this one does the job for me. I always get compliments on the harmonies it generates.

Fantastisk produkt

Currently this is the CHEAPEST and the BEST vocal harmonizer on the entire world. Get it while you still can.

Annoying humming sound, pitch issues, volume cutting out and flimsy knobs. Tried upgrading firmware as suggested. Software does not work. Scoured the internet and all I could find was complaints of a lack of solution or reliable support for the product. Clearly something has gone wrong with this company. Never buying this brand again.

Deu defeito no botão principal no segundo uso, e a luta pela garantia esta sendo terrível, não recomendo, caro e descartável.

Jetzt kann ich tatsächlich 3stimmig singen. Klappt gut, wenn man in der Band mal mehr Stimmen und mehr Volumen beim Gesang braucht. Man muss die Gitarre davor anschließen, sonst weiß das Teil nicht in welcher Harmonie es sich bewegen soll. Aber mit der Klampfe zusammen klappt das sowohl bei Blues als auch bei Folk-Muskik hervorragend.
