Will this harmonizer work with only a voice in the mic, or does it require a guitar or other input? Thanks, Dean

It will work with just a mic., but it sounds better with a guitar or other input.

It will work without a guitar, but not as well. It triggers off the guitar input to select the right harmonies based on the chord it hears. Without that input, you can select the key you are singing in, but when I tested it, the response did not seem accurate to me. It really is intended to be used with a guitar.

Yes, it will work with vocals alone. If not using a guitar you will have to manually set the key first. This is how I use it with karaoke, just set the key for the song and go.

You can manually select the Major Key with the left hand dial (or the Minor key, if you hold the foot-switch down). So, you don't need to use the guitar input, but you'll need to manually set the song key each song.

It will work based upon position of key knob. You can simply choose a key, or to be "realtime" controlled by guitar input, which is last position on key knob. .

It also can br switch he'd to the key that you are playing in.if you purchase 2 of you can get multiple harmonies

There is one input jack in front as seen in the picture. There's a pre amp out jack in back. You could use a microphone but can only input one device at a time. Not a great amp for vocals though it may do the trick for using a blues harp through the mic.

I use the VoiceTone with an acoustic run direct so the only sound going in the unit is from the guitar. I don't think you'll have feedback issues as much as your harmonies may be effected from other sounds from the stage entering the mics. Good hypercardioid mics may help with this however if you are the only sound source than it may not be an issue.

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

I'm not sure this is going to help you very much because I've only used the Vocalist 3 thru a PA in an acoustic setting. No problems of any kind when used this way and it sounds amazing!

As the other response mentions you need an audio interface that plugs into your computer (Most likely via USB or Firewire. I personally use an MBox Mini). AmpliTube 3 is just software, it takes the dry incoming guitar signal from your audio interface and applies their amp/stomp box/etc... modeling to it, making your guitar sound as if it's being played through that gear. So you must supply the interface + guitar + guitar cable in order to use this. I mainly use Amplitube3 as a plugin in side my DAW (Reaper) however it can run standalone and even has a 4 track recorder which is nice.

I guess you could mic up using the guitar jack input. You can vary the input level. Do you want to record with it? There aren't a lot of recording features with it but it's brilliant for learning songs, thanks to the slow down feature. I've used that a lot...

Yes. I use a Behringer condensor mic. It has a mic gain knob, ground lift button, & mic control (I think to blend with the instrument input). Has been used live as well as vocal tracking. It also adds compression to the vocals even when not switched to a hard correction setting.

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO. If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

Yes. Just Remember that the only input is the three-pronged microphone cable and not the single 1/4 inch guitar typw cable that some karaoke systems use. You might need an adapter.

It doesn't connect to a guitar.You can sing with it connected while playing a guitar.

I don't have this amp (yet) but I can tell you that you will need a microphone with a "low Z" or low-impedance cable. The mic input is three prong female so you will need a mic with a low impedance cable which will have a three prong male end to plug into the amp and a female end that connects to the mic. I recommend a Shure SM58 or SM57 for vocals. The instrument input is for a typical "guitar" cable with 1/4 inch male ends. Also, I don't think the 8" speaker in this amp is big enough for bar use unless it's a really small bar and even then the amp would have to be placed at ear level. This is the only amp I've ever seen that has inputs for both vocals and acoustic instrument (low and high impedance) so I'm buying it just for that feature. Just make sure that your acoustic instrument has an output for guitar cable or otherwise you will need 2 mics, one for vocals (SM58) and one for guitar (SM57). I hope that helps. Sam (DOG TOY)

It depends on what you are trying to do. Regardless of the physical connections, a guitar amp will not sound good as a vocal PA. Also, a microphone level signal is too low for a guitar amp. There is an exception for special harmonica mics which are designed for this purpose, but again, they are not vocal use.

The microphone will definitely work but I'm not sure the control button will control the effects of the Harmony Singer. I would go to the TC Helicon website and look for the answer there.

I have found it pretty much equals your voice and if your guitar is in sync ..you should really be pleased..keep in mind to use all the dials it has.... Enjoy,,,Steve

All the guitar effects work with my Takamini acoustic guitar. The "metal" and distortion don't do much for me, but the phlange and reverbs are nice. Make sure you use these effects with the correct setting for amps on the VoiceLive box. Choose "acoustic amp" and then go through your effects. each amp setting will create different sounds with each guitar effect.

it has a line level input and mic (xlr) input, so yes. I find it sounds better through a small mixer. This speaker tends to break up with a strong signal from a keyboard or guitar. I recommend buying a peavey powered speaker for a little more.
