TC-Helicon VoiceTone C1

Best autotuner

This is hands down the best autotuner.

Unsatisfied and disappointed

Noisy and bad customer service to be returned. I’m not allowed to place the return

Just awesome value

Does what you would expect. Really easy to use and not audible delay in the signal path. Just awesome and easy to use.

And don't be fooled: the scales-knob seems to only offer major keys and chromatic key. But you can look up the relative scales and set the relevant major key to match your minor key.

perfect

Doing what is is suppoed to do.

Worth it.

Nice product. Easy to use with excellent sound.

Nice little vocal enhancer

does it's job very well and have no complaints about the sound quality and audio features.

Where I DO have a complaint is in the Power section;

1/ It runs from 12VDC so you cant link it to your normal Stomp box supply - you need to use the supplied PSU - just extra stuff on your pedalboard.

2/ It wont run from Phantom PSU - considering this is probably gonna be used in a live environment and connected to a Mixing desk this is an oversight. (Maybe it draws too much power for phantom operation)

However, - its now mounted permanently into my pedal board and does it's job well. (Just check you have the selector switches in the right place cos if you inadvertently change them - you can get some strange sounds :-) )

Quite good but not perfect

The C1 VoiceTone should be called as a HumanVoiceTone as it works quite well with vocals but unfortunately it fails with any (monophonic) instrument with rich harmonic partials / overtones. I could heard noise like boiling eggs with the highest notes of an alto sax, in the altissimo range the pith correction sounded even worse. With a tenor sax it was a bit better.

I tested the C1 in the lab with pure sine wave and discovered that the pitch correction becomes unstable and noisy with frequencies above 1000Hz and above 2700Hz there is no correction at all.

Very few singers can reach such high notes but as I aimed to use the C1 for saxophone demos it seems that I may have to get more expensive device.

However there is nothing to complain about the overall (dry) sound and the preamp has a lot of gain with low noise.

Great Pedal

Great Pedal but it feels a bit cheap

Voice tone?

Not sure this does anything much at all for my voice, just makes it sound harder so I re'set the eq to make up. I also do harmonica, seems to mess this pedal up a bit, the slightly ben't notes as this tries to straighten them, will try a second mic.

I did the instruction book and all that seems to work, but as for correcting any slight tone variations that my voice seems to have when I'm really tired "sometimes", I cannot tell much or any difference, if I stand on the pedal, or not (voice tone on or off).

I will keep using it for now, but my view (correct or not), if you know how to use your EQ, there is no need for this voice tone pedal.

Great vocal processor

A great little vocal pedal, I use this as part of a theatre rig where some performers need a little help with their vocals. The pedal can be used to help the best singers and the worse singers and can be used very subtly to enhance a performers voice and can be used a little less subtly to correct a bad singer. It it a great tool to have in the weaponry and I would argue that for the price it is the best value money and the product is a great tool.
