I've been reading here lots of people like the Helicon G series.<br /> <br /> My friend is interested in a stupidly simple voice processor tap with foot to turn it on/off. I sent him links to the Helicon G-xt training videos on Youtube.<br /> <br /> His initial worries are you have to program it like <br /> Boss pedal boards while he wants something as simple as possible.<br /> <br /> For users of the Harmony G or G-XT is it plug and play or do you have to go deep to program to use it? |

I havea Digitech VL-2 and a TC H-1. They're both pretty simple to use, but I think the H-1 hasa slight edge over the Digi. Not quite plug and play, but not a very steep learning curve either. |

Thanks PTT. I will look up the H-1 as well and see what he thinks of that. |

I'm using a Helicon Harmony G presently and if I can reassure you, it's so easy to use... I'm kind of dumb with all those programmables machines, but the Harmony G is really a very easy one to use. You just choose whatever voices you want, plus or less reverb and you push the switch and here you go... And the result is unbelievable IMHO... Just remember it works with the guitar chords for the Key the harmonies will sing, so you have to play guitar quite precisely. |

My GXT is easy and very much worth it. |

Hmmm... this may be our answer.<br /> <br /> I'm in a country band that is somewhat vocally challenged. That is, our hamonies don't sound bad - the lead vocalist is very good, the other guitarist can hit all of the second harmonies, but it's the 3rd harmonies, which are up to me, that leave a bit to be desired... not due to pitch, but because I don't have a tenor voice and have to drop below the lead. Although the harmonies still sound good, they would sound even better with that upper part.<br /> <br /> I'm thinking that in this band, just using one of these gadgets to double my part an octave higher would make our harmonies sound extremely fat!<br /> <br /> In another band I work with, the other guitarist has a great baritone voice, and the drummer has the high tenor, so we're generally covered... until the drummer sings lead, then it's the same scenario. I could see where we could put a vocal processor to good use on occasion.<br /> <br /> I think I would treat one of these the same way I treat my Roland guitar synth - use is just enough to enhance the overall sound, without detracting from the unprocessed, live performance. |
