SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Wow! If you can sing (and play) in tune and you don't have awesome background singers, get this unit! Mortgage the cat, sell the dog, do whatever it takes. You've got to try this thing. I've only gone through about 1/30 of the presets and I can't believe how good it sounds. I'd try more but I'm having way too much fun with the ones I've tried so far. TC Helicon's algorithmeers are to be congratulated! Feature: It is something most have never tried. All the features seem new. More CC inputs would be nice since you can really make it sound human by modulating the volume of the harmonies, being able to hold a harmony note(s) while you sing another -- all with a tap of a footswitch or flick of a pedal, so more CC inputs would allow more control without using a separate MIDI footswitch controller. At first I thought a feedback destroyer would be useful too, but the compressor on this thing is so smart, I never get feedback with it. Plus a feedback destroyer works best right before a power amp, not at the preamp stage. Sometimes you do get odd beeps and pops. Sounds a bit like R2D2 but only when you're changing presets. Ease of Use: Fairly straighforward however look out for the separate CC channel!!! The CC channel is set separately from the basic MIDI channel so if you have another device on the VL-2's CC channel (without knowing it), you can reprogram the VL-2 in very strange ways. Once I figured that out (the manual is ambiguous re. the need for setting them separately), it works like a dream. Quality: This costs as much as my first used car. Its way better built too. Solid, good connectors, switches and an LCD screen thats easy to see. A little too easy to see sometimes since its glare can make it hard to read the labels on the knobs and buttons. Value: I gots tons of gear -- from Gibson guitars to Marshall amps, I've been fortunate to be able to aquire pretty much what I want and need for my studio and live gigs. The VL-2 has changed my sound more than anything I own. I've only had it for a week and already I can see us getting way better gigs. It can only get better with practice. You can be sure this kind of device will become as popular for singers as the PC has become for office work. Manufacturer Support: This is my 4th TC Electronics/Helicon product. I've had contact with the support team for two separate incidents. Both were handled promply and professionally. The Wow Factor: It make me all gooey inside when I hear myself doing "perfect" Heart harmonies or when I use the "Brick in the Wall" patch and do the Pink Floyd song. Is it cheating? I say no. Not when I'm competing with DJs for gigs! Overall: I'm sure I'll never willingly perform again without one or its decendents.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: This thing is a kick in the a**! It's costs more than the other harmony generators but is well worth it all the way. The sound quality is much more believable than the others(especially once you get past playing with all the presets and tweak in the perimeters to match what you're doing. I lead a Celtic rock/world beat group and while my bandmates will sing back up none of them can harmonize so this adds a lot to our sound. I run my guitars, banjos, and bouzouki in to the guitar input through a little mixer and it tracks then all without hesitation and the guitar effects are a nice cherry on top. The only issue I've had(and this falls under getting past playing with all the presets part I mentioned earlier) was calibrating the tuner to mine and the other bagpiper's bagpipes(they tune in a little archaically compared to instruments with more modern refinements) BUT...it was an easy task and I'm so glad they made that an option, now I can sing along with the pipes and we're all in tune with some nice rich harmonies. I have used it as a preamp for recording using the spdif in and out and it performed quite favorably there as well. although, its really star power is performing live. It's IMHO heads above the rest and well worth every penny. Feature: It has more presets than I will ever be able to utilize, but it's a lot of fun experimenting to see how many I can! The adaptability and ability to configure just about everything makes it very usable in all sorts of situations(even a band with dual bagpipes!) I wish I could retain the guitar effects when using the guitar through and giving the guitar its own channel in the mixer, and who knows maybe I can( I'm still learning. Ease of Use: Customizing settings is easy and well described in the manual and it gets easier after a couple rounds of twisting knobs. Turning the harmonies down in the mix just a little provides very realistic results and so far I've been able to please all the rather hesitant sound men by adjusting the output level to their liking( on the fly during sound checks). The only thing I'd change for ease of use would be to put a bit more room in between buttons, buts thats only because I have large feet and am klutzy...sometimes I have trouble not turning on the doubling when I just wand a harmony. Quality: It's stout and well made, I still baby it but I'm not at all worried about it falling apart or breaking it if I accidentally set on it while hopping around stage Value: It's expensive, no doubt, but I'm glad I went for it. It's loaded with features and functionality and worth every penny I paid. I don't think any of its peers could have been implemented in my band successfully...tuner calibration rules! Zzound's pay as you play made it doable and they were patient and understanding when I had trouble getting my payment to go through! Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to use their support yet, but if it's anywhere close to the quality of the pedal I'm not gonna have anything but good times The Wow Factor: I prefer the feminine form to electronics any day but its cool looking, has lots lights n stuff, fills out our vocal sound, makes me sound like I can really sing, and I like pushing buttons Overall: I don't expect to do much performing without it...if it ever breaks I will cry(sad I know) and start saving my pennies for another.

Sound: Ho-Lee-crrrrrrap. WOW.... once you start tweeking this.. its INSANE.... makes your voice sound MONSTER HUGE. Totally amazing. I had the Harmony M and G.... NO COMPARISON. Although the M and G are amazing as well..... voicelive 2 is way over the top. Feature: all you could ever ask for.... only one think left out. FEEDBACK DESTROYER.. other than that.. cant think of anything they left out. Ease of Use: once you know your way around its very straight forward. Bit of a curve. but nothing you can conquer in a couple of hours. Quality: very well built. Metal top and rubberized plastic sides. Its a very purdy box. Display window is generous. Value: I think its worth every penny.... 10 years ago this box would EASILY have cost at LEAST $5000 or more. Manufacturer Support: TC are usually fairly quick to return emails. Not always , but pretty good. The Wow Factor: its very sexy.... very useful.. will make you a better singer guaranteed.

Sound: The sound of this product is incredible. The harmonies are tight and right on. I'm a guitar player and the VL2 does exactly what I expected and more. There are some sounds that are better than others and probably some I will never use but with 200 presets it is going to be this way. I use the VL2 for Gospel music in church and it sounds great. I have not recorded with the VL2 so I don't know how it would sound in that type of situation. This is a great vocal tool and I would highly recommend it. Feature: The VL2 is the only product of this type that I own or have tried. So, as far as I'm concerned it has everything. The only thing I wish it had is a really detailed users manual or DVD. As it is, you are going to have to get on YouTube and look at the videos on this product. Ease of Use: The VL2 is easy to use and it is easy to edit and modify the presets and make your own. You can use this product right out of the box and find a preset that will more than likely meet your need. However, if you do a little tweaking you can achieve your own custom sound that you are looking for. Quality: The VL2 is very well made. It is very portable and the fit and finish are perfect. I could not find a single thing wrong with the unit I purchased. Value: The VL2 is definitely worth the price. Manufacturer Support: The only reason I gave this a 9 is because I have not had to use TC Helicon support. The Wow Factor: The VL2 has an attractive black finish. It is not a slick finish so I wouldn't worry about dropping it even though you don't want to do that. To me, a lot of thought and technology went into making this product and Overall: I expect this product to meet my needs for many years. The only way I will replace it is if TC Helicon comes out with an update on this product. If it was stolen or broken I would immediately buy another one. So far, there is nothing I dislike about the VL2.

Sound: This thing is awesome. I'm an amateur and just do this for fun in the basement but I have never sounded this good. Feature: More features than I've been able to figure out so far. The unit is solid, the only draw back is turn this thing on first or you get a loud crack in your PA system. I always turn this on first, and off last. Ease of Use: Very easy to use out of the box and there are tons of features that are pre-programmed. I knocked off two points because there are so many things this can do it can get confusing. The manual is pretty useless but there are several youtube videos that help explain how to do some things. I'd say "TC HELICON, more video tutorials please...." Quality: Excellent product, good layout. Value: Expensive, but worth it if you have the money to play with. If you perform at all, this is a must have device. The Wow Factor: if you're good it makes you better. That simple. Overall: If lost or stolen I would replace it. I expect to have it for quite a while.
