Fantastic review! Auto gain in these pedals is actually 2 mic pre-amps each going into their own Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). One of these pres is high gain, the other is low gain. The DSP in the product selects between the two digital streams depending on which is optimal. The first product that I know of to first use this input scheme is a $9000 Neumann Digital microphone. It results in about 126dB input SNR.

I've used one for a couple of years now. You've got to be careful of those knobs twisting out of place - best to take a last look at them before starting a song. A VERY special little-known effect happens when you sing a HARMONY PART and have it harmonize to that part: it comes up with a really-sweet-but-odd harmony. I often use this feature when singing my harmony part in a duo with another person singing 'lead'.

At last, a nice sensible non hysterical review of a product, clearly & calmly explained, at a normal pace. I`ve had my eye on one of these for a while now, but I really needed to see a review like this one first, and now that I have, I`ll probably buy one now. Thanks Hew. 😎🎸

That sounds really good. I think I might get this pedal

I use a harmonizor with a keyboard and I used to have the same issue of it singing a major harmony when I was playing a minor chord. What I figured out was if I played less notes on the keyboard when I played a minor key, it would sing perfect minor harmony every time! (example) If I played a Dm - d, f, and a - with my right hand it would sing an f# harmony note trying to force the chord to D major. But if I only played d and f notes with my right hand, it would sing a perfect D minor harmony! 100% of the time! The same can be done on the guitar by muting notes. Takes a little practice, but it works!

If I want to record my voice with the Helicon, and instead to use a real instrument, I connect the previous tracks already recorded (for example, rhythm guitar,bass,drums ),can this pedal recognize the chords of the music previously recorded, and so I can record my voice with this harmonizer?

Thank you. I bet you are a real good performer. Good Luck from Yuma, Arizona.

Hey same! Small world.

Is it possible to use it for studio recording? Like so: I plug a pre recorded instrument instead of the guitar (so it can "read" the chords and create harmonies) and record vocal harmonies in my DAW?

Love your voice man.

I'm thinking of getting this for my pedal board and putting it before my volume pedal so I can play my electric to control the harmonies without the electric going through the system. My one question is how well do the harmonies work with a clean (No effects, pre amp, compressor etc) electric guitar signal?

Is this with autogain? Some of these vocal stompboxes has in early version no autogain. Does the Harmony Singer automatic vibrato? One time I made the mistake to feed the TC Helicon I had with a processed voice. Compression made crosstalk better audible and the TC tried to harmonize this. Low cut eliminated the fundamentals - the TC Helicon was sounding like the vocal harmony in Yamaha keyboards.

Nice review. Its a great pedal. Im hoping H.S 3 they make it where you can make all the changes with your feet. Instead of having to go to the ground to make a change. And like u said its easy to bump a knob and change the setting. Think it is about time for them to come out with the H.S. 3. Good vid.

Nice job. Thanks for doing this.

What a great review and video. I've watched a few vids on this pedal looking for specific info and finally, you knocked it out of the park. The eloquence of speech delivered with the British accent was spot on mate. (Haha) Last but not least, the song performances were quite good. If those are your tunes, I'm thoroughly impressed. Hell I'm impressed regardless. Later dude.

The mark one version does have an input control and that works well. I don't know why they deleted it. I have mine on a pedal board and the guitar input comes off a doubled reverb pedal output, the other socket hooked into the next guitar pedal. This means you can do anything on the guitar regarding tone and the HC still gets a clean input.

Awesome review! Thank you for that! I'm looking for a good Harmony Pedal...Have you used the TC Helicon Play Acoustic? Which one would you recommend?

Good songs, well done, mate!

It havent got doble voice?

It should actually be fairly easy to add a circuit to remove the guitar bleed since the guitar signal is fed into the pedal. You could just create a ‘noise print’ from that signal and remove it from the mix. Similar to the way noise canceling headphones work.

I like it in spite of the fact that I miss delay options and other effects like chorous or flanger✌🏼

Huw can you tell me if this pedal changes your giutar tone at all? I went away from using these type of vocal pedals because they thinned out my guitar tone way too much?

Great video ! I noticed how you adjust the knobs with your toe and wanted to say that there is a clip on device thats made ( and I'm sorry I dont remember the name of it or I'd put in a link ) that would make doing that a lot easier especially when on stage and having to do it on the fly especially having to sing AND play guitar , you wouldn't have to dedicate so mch of yor attention looking down while adjusting . Thank you again for creating such a great and informative video , I didnt know this existed and it came up as a suggestion , now I'm glad I clicked on this. Keep up the great work

Hi.. It works for human voice only with a harmony instrument connected? Thanks...

Great review thanks

Do you think I could use this pedal with backing tracks, to harmonize my violin? I don’t sing, but I am looking to harmonize the melody on my violin as I play over backing tracks.

I use mine to make my three piece band sound big. I am the only singer but with this I can have backup at the push of a button. Use mostly with 3rd above. I am on my second unit. Wore the switch out on my first one.

Great review! Thanks a lot.

Good review, your guitar sounds great too! Is it a Taylor? And what is pedal going to?

This guy has a nice voice, nice guitar too, mellow, and crisp. Well played.

if instead of the guitar, I put in any sound source that has a harmony, will the choruses of the pedal still recognize the right notes to play?

Tell me how can I register with him can I connect him to the computer? Thank’s

A really fantastic harmonizer. It would have been much more convenient if the instrument had 3 foot pedal controls.

So we need to connect Mike and guitar in the inputs right??

I have the TC Helicon singer 2 but I don't hear much if a pitch correction, or Harmony, working with whatever guitar chords I'm playing. I have it in the 2nd position of my pedal chain after the guitar tuner. Could this be affecting it's ability to process what key I'm in?

On the Voicetone H1, the harmony pedal from them that I've been using for several years, you have the option to set it to use a certain key, or your guitar through-put to determine keys. On this, it seems to be missing that option, so I'd assume they just made it where it is simply ALWAYS pulling the key from the chords played? That would only make sense...

Wait, so you can’t separate guitar/vocal volume. Like I couldn’t eq my vocals separately from my guitar via my soundboard ?

I've hooked this up exactly how he hooks it up and no matter how I try, the guitar volume is nearly nonexistent though the vocal is loud and clear, however, the unit harmonizes the guitar as well as the vocal which makes the guitar sound like a Leslie tone cabinet. Without the harmonizer, the box has nice reverb and tone, but, I've never been able to get the harmonizer to work correctly through my studio mixer. Anybody have an answer? I paid over 200 bucks for this box and it never came with any kind of manual.

Your guitar is picked up by the voice mic most likely. Don't use a condenser mic and avoid bleeding as much as you can.

I had two of these and in the middle of gigs after leaving the stage for a break when you come back after not singing the vocals stutter like crazy on both units it has to do with auto gain shutoff the only solution is to power off and back on. the original Harmony singer with the gain control knob on the side is a better unit and does not have this inherent issue i returned both new ones and bought a used 1st generation, difficult to deal with mid song at a packed club.

great, one question please anyone who knows.. i have the RC-30 looper, can i plug my mic on the TC and after that to my looper so they comunicate in order to use it on my pedalboard so i can record parts.? hope i make sense

Would this for a guitarist in a live band singing backing vox ? I'd have to be playing chords

How about if you are only using this for vocal harmony effects WITHOUT any instruments. Only with backing tracks. Would it still be useful? I'm debating between the duplicator or harmony singer. Im a vocalist and I don't play any instrument.

Can I use keyboard for control harmonize (I’m not play guitar)

is this for acoustic setup only? what if i plan for 1 man band with piano accompaniment? is it possible?

Where can you buy these at

Got mine today. Effective if you stick to regular majors and minors, but it gets confused by others. I set the harmony to slight raise (position 3), played a Dsus2, sang a D continuously, but rather than getting a Dsus2 harmony (E), it gives me a major (F#). That is VERY lame.

Não tem apresentação disso em português?..

The level should never be set to the right of 12 o'clock. Between 10 and 10 and a half tucks those harmonies under your voice and makes them sound less robotic.

Can this be use if I tune to 432Hz on my guitar?

You have that choice by the first knob: the dot is the melody which you sing and the lines above and below the dot dictate whether you want a 5th below and a third above or 3rd and 5th below etc etc. Each click gives you a different voicing. Depending on what chords you play on your guitar, it will give you major, minor, dim, or augmented.

I think it bases the harmonies on the chords which the guitar is playing. I'm guessing that without the guitar, it wouldn't know what key to harmonise in or whether to use a major or minor scale, so it couldn't really work. The same company produce a similar product called the Voicetone H1 Intelligent Harmony Pedal, where you have the option to manually select the key of your song so it can harmonise with you without needing a guitar input.
