DigiTech Vocalist Live 2 Vocal Harmony Processor

Vocalist Live uses breakthrough musIQ technology to directly analyze the output of any electric or pre-amplified acoustic guitar (no special MIDI guitars or hex-outputs needed). Then it generates the correct vocal harmony. For example, if you're singing an A over the chords that are generally found in the key of G, Vocalist will harmonize with a C. But, if you then play an A major, Vocalist will shift to the C#...because like any good harmony singer, it listens to the guitar! Learn More...

Feature:
The unit came with a power supply.

Quality:
It is physically well constructed. However, I had to return the first unit I got at my own expense because there was a 1-2 seconds delay when singing through it. This issue only was discovered when I left it on for 2-3 hours.

Value:
I still keep the replacement unit because it is still a very easy to use and not too expensive.

Desirability:
I still keep it.

Sound:
The harmonies are pretty good. However, no other reviewers mention about the white noise! To tone down the white noise I have to have the Reverb on all the time. Also, be sure to turn all the volume down before connecting it to the mixer board. It has a tendency to make a really bad feed back!@!

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use! But can take longer to set up the unit. Make sure you have enough time to test it throughly before your performance with the band.

Support:
Tech support was good to point out that the 1-2 seconds delay is a known problem. I recommend to buy it where you can have free shipping back or a local store to easily exchange the unit.

Overall:
I'll use it until Digitech comes out with a new quieter product generation.

Quality:
So far, item is very well made.

Value:
It's a little pricey but worth the mon$y.

Sound:
This unit is SUPER. It's very easy to use and user friendly. Great item to put some harmony into your band. Thinking about using this unit when I do my recording within the next few months. Lie they say, "Try it, you'll like it."

Ease of Use:
It's so easy that a kid could get great sounds from it.

Support:
Never dealt with this company before, but I possibly will in the future.

This is the greatest invention since pockets on shirts.The sound is terrific right out of the box. Simple to use which is great for us non-technical people.I can find nothing negative about this product except I wish it had been around years ago. Would have made my professional playing days a lot easier and more enjoyable.

Feature:
I bought this unit to use for vocal harmonies in my recording studio because I can never find enough good male or female singers to record back up vocals. This thing works! I did some back up vocals on a heavey metal rock tune using it for recording, and I had Def Lepard/Van Halen back up vocals in the proper harmonies, major or minor, no problem! Whoe! I was impressed. Then I tried some Queen vocals, guess what, worked very cool! I played sand some Crosby Stills Nash & Young through this harmonizer, and I could not believe I sounded like them! Wow. I tried Amy, by Pure Prarie League, the Eagles, etc, and this harmonizer does the job, Rock or Country, whatever you play, changes vocal harminy chording with your guitar. It keep you in pitch too, based on A 440 and IQ harmonic tracking. It also saved me recording tracks as well, as I did two separate harmony tracks, used only two tracks, and this would have taken 8 tracks using real singers on their own tracks, not to mention saving set up time, mike cable speghetti mess, headphone cable mess and isolation problems for groups of back up singers in small studios. I highly recommend this harmonizer for live stage and in personal recording studios. ...It's also a lot cheaper than all the extra mikes, cables, and headphones, and more reliable than all the back up singers you were going to hire. I give this a 9 because you can always pay $5000.00 for better and more features.

Quality:
Seems to be built solidly, but you might want to duct tape the power cord to keep persons from disconnecting the power supply wall wart.

Value:
Very good investment for stage and home recording studios.

Desirability:
I want the bigger Digitec Guitar Live Harmonizer 4 now. :)

Sound:
I give this Digitec Vocal Harmonizer 2, a ten (10)Plus, considering it costs $349.00 and not $5,000, and it really works. It is easy to use even without my eye glasses on, just grab a knob or push a button and dial up the harmony reverb, and vocal compression you want. Great onstage,easy to adjust on the spot. "On the fly' adjustments of reverb compression mix, harmonies is nice.Just turn the knobs. No programming.

Ease of Use:
I'm going to get an extra one, the Digitec Vocal Harmonizer 4 for guitar which has more features and stereo XLR outs for my recording mixer. This is a very good investment for your live sound and project studio and very easy to use. Kenny

Support:
Never dealt with them for support.

Overall:
This gave a big bang for the buck. I won't need another or better unit till I get %5000.00.

Feature:
The only accessory is the power cord. The box is light and strong. A singer will enjoy the Vocalist 2 a guitarist/singer will like the Vocalist 4.

Quality:
Sounds perfect out of the box. Should last years if you don't damage it.

Value:
The price of perfection is $300. Thanks Digitech.

Desirability:
The plug and play feature is the selling point.

Sound:
Sounds very good. Turn off the preamp and sing then turn on the pre amp and sing, there will be a major improvement to your voice. your sound will be many times better. I use the reverb in the Vocalist 2 and the reverb in the mixer which blends into full, clear, vocals.

Ease of Use:
Just plug in the cords turn on the power turn up the volume set the knobs to about 11 O-clock and you will be cruising.

Support:
Digitech is a good company.

Overall:
If I were playing music for a living I would have a couple more. If it get stolen I will buy another one.

Feature:
You have the option of up two harmonies at a time: high, higher, low, lower, unison 1, or unison 2. I wish you could change the harmonies with your feet, but the pedals only turn the harmonies on and off. It does have reverb, compression, and a type of eq, but the quality of the effects isn't that great. This unit really shines as a harmonizer, not a vocal preamp.

Quality:
It feels likes it's well built, but I haven't had it long enough to tell yet.

Value:
The TC Helicon is confusing to use and 800 dollars. This one is only 350 dollars and a steal at that price.

Desirability:
Ummm... It looks good, but very generic and not that flashy. Which is good for me, crazy colors and designs just look cheap. The best products have a very elegant and simple look to them. This one is no different.

Sound:
It doesn't have the sound of the TC Helicon, but the harmonies still sound very nice. I personally think that one harmony sound much better than two. When you use more than one harmony you begin to sound like a bad eagles cover band, but it does work well when you sing a hymn. The vocal effects leave much to be desired, but you can get by with them in a small setting. I use a tube preamp for my mic and the preamp on the digitech just can't make it sound as sweet.

Ease of Use:
It is the only plug and play harmonizer I have ever used, and it is dead simple to operate. It is not completely idiot proof, but close.

Support:
Never dealt with the company, but harman international makes some amazing products. I doubt I would run into a problem

Overall:
Overall the product is great. There are things I would like to see changed, but none the less its great.
