TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT Vocal/Guitar Processor

TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT Pedal: Perfect harmonies for your guitar and voice.

When you're in the studio or in practice you know you have a killer vocal sound that sounds that way because of its harmonies. Like a pedal version of CSNY the TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT lets you take doubled or overdub harmonies from your album on-stage. Rather than just blindly follow your voice the Harmony-G XT follows your guitar sound.

Play a chord in C and the VoiceTone will double or harmonize your voice in that chord. The Harmony-G XT uses advanced technology only found in the TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 to accurately determine the pitch and generate a harmony with no latency at all. This is important to get the natural feel of a harmony the more latency you have the more un-natural it sounds.

Harmony-G XT Better than Before

The VoiceTone Harmony-G XT has improved its guitar-following algorithm to track every note seamlessly. The built-in reverb has gotten more intensive and natural sounding. Now you get four overdub-style doubling effects which provide you the option to take your harmonies a 5th, or a 4th above your pitch or to follow the bass note for example. The TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT provides two more doubling voices as well and the ability to create your own presets on the fly.

Seamless Harmony Generation

Nothing would stink more than having all this great harmonizing technology and have to use proprietary guitar pickups or special microphones to complete your setup. TC-Helicon has created technology which is instantly accessible to anyone with access to a regular guitar or microphone cable. The Harmony-G XT evens lets you stay up to date with any cool new improvements that TC-Helicon makes by providing a USB connection to update its firmware and backup and restore of your presets.

Easy Harmony Generation
Harmony-G XT has a good ear for music. It listens to your performance and decides what harmony notes would sound best with your song. Connect your guitar and a mic, choose one of the presets, play guitar and sing. No special guitar pickups, pre-programming, or extensive musical knowledge are required in order to use Harmony-G XT.

Choose Your Sound
You're in control of a wide range of useful, exciting sounds. From a standing position you can switch through the five factory presets, each with a unique setting of effects, harmony and doubling and then choose the A or B effect within each preset. If you only need three presets or you want up to ten, this is configurable in Harmony-G XT.

You can edit the presets easily and store them as your personal combination. For example, the harmony voice interval range offers you an combination of two of the following including two of the same for added thickness:

- Higher and Low which center around a 5th above or 4th below
- High and Lower which center around a 3rd above or 6th below
- Bass, which sings the root of your guitar chord even if you're singing other notes
- Octave up and down

The "FX" for each preset can be selected as well. Each of the categories of Hall, Room, Echo, Slap, Combi and SFX has three alternates. These are more than just add-on effects! These are the real deal from VoiceLive 2 including combinations of reverb, delay and umod (micromod) that will put you and your harmony voices in a professional sounding, immersive space.

Overdub Live
In a recording you can layer your lead melody to create extra thickness. Live, it's not so easy. The Double button on Harmony-G XT activates a realistic, overdub style doubling effect on your voice that you can use alone or in tandem with the harmony voices. You have four options for doubling you can choose from:

- The default: 1 voice with tightest humanization
- 1 voice with looser, more natural humanization
- 2 tight voices
- 2 natural voices

Better Overall Tone
Don't let that simple-looking Tone button fool you. Beneath is a professional signal chain including:

- Adaptive Shape - a unique boom reduction and brightness enhancer
- Compression - smoothing peaks and gently raising low level detail
- De-ess - reduces harsh consonant sounds
- Adaptive gate - which can help reduce feedback while reducing harmonized chattering of instruments when you're not singing.

Once Tone is activated, it remains in effect when harmonies are on and off and even in Bypass so you can chat with your audience using the same great tone as when you sing.

Connect To Your Computer
Harmony-G XT has a USB connection and a free, included web applet called VoiceSupport which allows easy backup and restore of your presets to a computer, fast product registration and up-to-date news on software updates, tips and tricks and demo videos.
