"An interesting pedal but difficult to use in a live setting."

If there was an equivalent product I would be tempted to replace this one.
Sound
The various models are interesting, but the effect takes a noticable delay to come on, often clipping the entire first word of a phrase. Feedback is a real issue on same of the effects.
Features
No instruction manual was included. This would have been quite helpful.
Ease of Use
Very difficult to adjust properly so that normal vocals are the same level as the effected ones. Very prone to feedback on some of the effects.
Quality
Seems like a solid pedal.
Value
Relatively expensive for a tool with its shortcomings.

i'm not crazily exited about it... but i gotta play with it a few more days to figure out what sound i like, how to blend it with the band without my vocals not disappearing, how to avoid crazy feedback, and learn my setting for different kinds of stages and venues...
Sound
you can get great sounds with it, as long as you know what you're doing it... im still learning it...
Ease of Use
not so much... you gotta nail the settings between the mic input the effect volume and the feedback of the effect so when it's off people will hear you and when it's on you don't blow them away with your loudness... still learning it tho...
Quality
it looks bullet proof... sturdy, the bottom has this anti slide plastic... so you don't need to Velcro it to your pedal board...
Value
not that cheap tho... 130 bucks i paid...
The Wow Factor
as i am not the mains singer... but the bass player... i guess i could have waited on it

Way to hard to control the feedback, when setting it up live! Most sound guys don't have the time or patients to help u dial it in! It's definitely not a plug and play pedal! I would just avoid this pedal! It's more trouble than it's worth!
Sound
The major issue is the effects having a slight delay to it! U will literally lose the first word u sing! Sound wise it's good, if u can get it from feeding back! But good luck with that!!
Features
Been fiddling with it for a week now! The pedal just isn't easy enough to use
Ease of Use
Not easy at al to use! There should be a volume control on it! Aside from the pre mic volume control!
Quality
It's made really well, built like a tank
Value
Not at all worth the price, and not worth your time
Manufacturer Support
Still haven't heard back from them
The Wow Factor
I wanted it! Because tc products are always made really well, but this one just doesn't work well
