This does allow pitch correction, if you double tap the tone button it will start flashing intermittently which indicates that pitch correction is enabled. Also, the 5 banks are expandable to 10. This is a great pedal and I have had mine for over 10 years now.
I have 3 of them. 2 are the Harmony G and the 3rd is the G-XT. Played a thousand gigs with them. Bulletproof case too. They have paid for themselves many many times over...
I picked a used one last year and it has really filled out my solo performances. I like running the dry and harmony vocals out separately to have a little bit more control over the mix, but having all of the available tools and a guitar tuner in a fairly small package is a great deal.
Man I just was looking for the voicecorrect XT reviews but they are all 12 years old. Thank you for this!! The harmony is the closest thing to the correct xt
Great singing. I imagine if you can barely hear the harmonies in your room then it’s probably set the best for a live venue. To much harmony makes it sound cheesy as how it came through the video, but for showing what it can do that’s a must. Great job! I own this too and starting to get back to using it some.
I have this unit. Works well in a lot of ways Can't really use it with a condenser and an acoustic guitar because the acoustic is picked up too much by the mic.
Sounds pretty good Matt. I have the TCH Harmony Singer, & that does some GREAT vocal harmonies constructed from the chords you play! I haven't used it much atm but it sounds really natural!
Pourriez vous expliquer en détail la touche Tone en expliquant les différents programmes a l, intérieur de la touche Tone, et faire de même avec la touche Double. Merci, bonjour de France.
It's my understanding that this pedal does have pitch correction based off of the guitar. I believe you hold the. Button down next to the microphone level.
always in these demos goes perfect. The huge problem with this pedal, i am using it for years, that in a live situation it takes the rest of the band, (even with in-ears) and then the harmonies start to sound real strange and even stuttering. I make recordings of our band and can here per channel what is recorded, always in a louder song the harmonies start to be so unclear that i stopped using it.
@@thepedalpicassos oh thanks so much, after your post did some research and that mic akg seams to have less background noise. I will order one and try out for sure. AKG we have for drums as well and like it. Please find some video;s with live sound on or channel: www.youtube.com/@steviedesire/videos
@@jamesdeininger3759 me too i thought, untill i listened back track by track and the vocals of myself with the pedal can give quite bizar sounds in multivoice. Did you record in a live band and listen back like i did?
Well done on the vid. If i dont plug my guitar though this will the harmony be all wonky? I just have a nice setup includong Di already for my acoustic.
It won’t work properly without the guitar signal, the good news is… is that it has an analog dry through and will not affect your tone at all! It really needs to go first in the chain so it gets good clean guitar signal! I hope that helps!
You can also use it without a guitar by setting the preset to MANUAL. In this case you have to enter the root note of the scale and choose a scale (you can choose between three different major and three different minor scales). When on MANUAL mode, it won't work as expected on songs with more complexes harmonies.
Hi, I read on a site that there were 100 presets (on the instructions there would only be 10x2 and that's probably fairer) with megaphone and saturation effects. These last two effects particularly interest me, do you have them? Thank you very much 🙂
1. The Harmony-G XT has 10x2 programmable presets. No megaphone effect. 2. TC-Helicon Create has 99 fixed presets and 5x2 programmable presets. There is also a megaphone effect. 3. TC-Helicon Create XT has 100 fixed presets and 10x2 programmable presets. It also has a megaphone effect.
if you would have to choose between the g-xt or mi mechanic 2 which would you go with? mainly looking to have a pedal recognize my guitar and aid with hitting each note/pitch. Thanks
Man! I’m not 100% sure??? I know it’s probably a stupid answer to your question, but I would normally buy both! And then just sell the one that didn’t work out for me
Greetings from Texas! Any recommendations for a VFX pedal with the best acoustic processor? I currently run my acoustic through a series of pedals before it reaches my mixer and I’m just trying to streamline my pedal board. I appreciate your tutorials and thank you for sharing. TIA 👍🏼
Hi mate! There is a big huge TC helicon vocal effects unit that does absolutely everything! I haven’t had a play around with it, but I’ve heard it’s very very good! On my live rig. I use the boss VE - 500 and then I’ll run all my guitar effects through a line 6 HX stomp! Hope that helps!!
@@thepedalpicassosAlso using the VE-500 live. But this pedal seems great for quick&dirty busking. I wonder: Have you ever compared it with the Boss VE-2?
Does anybody know if this pedal can be used with a lead singer who's not playing guitar for harmony and effects etc. Or does the pedal need to hear the guitar to know how to do the harmonies?
@@thepedalpicassos I have a battery-powered setup so that I can play anywhere without mains power so the current draw is important for me. But even when using mains power the current draw is still essential information for matching effects to the 9 volt power supply boxes on pedalboards. Cheers, mate.
Im a bass player in a rock band and looking for something to help beef up my backing vocals. With this unit, does it have to have the feed from the guitar, or bass? Or can it be used just to get a third above or doubling? Thanks
Same. I use it in my band and run my bass through it - it still senses the key but it doesn’t really like it if you do heavy drop B or Drop C. It works great with guitar on that pedalboard (I have 2 Harmony gx-t’s- one for each board). It will work with bass but it doesn’t really like it. I use the doubler and slight harmony cause my singing can sound like ass some times and this is best box I’ve found. Been using this unit for a few years now.
The Harmony-G XT works without an instrument, but then you have to set all presets to Manual and set a key in each preset and switch presets during the song. This is pretty useless. For use without an instrument, I would recommend a TC-Helicon model with a Step function, such as VoiceLive 2, VoiceLive 2 Extreme, VoiceLive 3, VoiceLive 3 Extreme.
Hi! If you change the chord GM for Gm can it harmonize and change according automatly to the quality of the chord? Even other, M7 or +5 or 9, etc... thanks!
Hello. Great demo. One question: Can you plug your guitar only in the "in" jack of the unit?. I mean not use the "out" jack, because I plan to plug my guitar in the Voicetone from the second out of the tuner. Can I do this? The unit will "hear" the guitar the same? I assume that the guitar control won't operate, 'cause it is an "level out" control, isn't that right? Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
Yes, it works, but you have to make sure that the guitar signal does not appear on the XLR outputs of the Harmony-G XT. To do this, you either have to turn down the Harmony-G XT's "Guitar" pot (immediately above the Auto position is an “off band” where the guitar is muted), or plug a "blind" 1/4" jack plug into the Harmony-G XT's "THRU" jack socket.
I keep wanting to get a unit for some basic voice effects for my death metal stuff. i may not use the harmonization portion of this, but the doubler the tone button and the slap delay could be really useful... may have to keep an eye out id REALLY like one of the voicelive 3 units but i am too broke for that XD
There is some smaller TC electronics units that have special effects on them for people that sing metal or want different sorts of crazy effects on the vocals! I think One might be called The Voice mechanic? I have to google it and have a look.
@@thepedalpicassos yeah the TC helicon mic mechanic! it also has the tone function, some delay/reverb and pitch correction (i think). If i were to get 1 pedal itd probably be that one
@@mfkrwill : the Harmony-G XT has the advantage of being programmable. The Mic Mechanic is not programmable, so if you put it on the floor and want to change its setting, you have to bend down.
Will this work without plugging in a guitar? I'm a drummer doing backing vocals " oohs & arrs" and would like to add harmony to this. But I will only have the mic plugged in?
"Using Manual mode does this. It could be that you aren’t playing your guitar in a particular song, that you’re not playing a guitar at all, or that you’ve used fixed-key harmony in other TC-Helicon products and found it works better and sounds unique in certain songs. If you’re not sure what the key of your song is, it’s often the same as the first or last chord of the song. (...) To set key in Manual Mode without a guitar: 1. Press both footswitches simultaneously to temporarily enter key setting mode. If no footswitch input is received after a few seconds, the mode will exit. 2. Tap the left footswitch to cycle through the key options and the right footswitch to cycle through the 6 available scales. After a moment, the mode will automatically exit. Understanding the Manual key display: The key in Harmony-G XT is shown in 3 sequential flashes. For example, an E might flash, then a dash “-”, and then a number 3 indicating E minor 3. The number corresponds to one of three major and three minor modified scales. Choosing an alternate scale may help you find a fixed-key harmony that works best for your song. Once your key is set and you’re happy with it, it can be stored with the current preset by holding the Preset button." (TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT Product Manual, page 20-21)
The manual light is off because I’m using the guitar chords to set the key… you use the manual button if you want to set a specific key for your harmonies… and make the unit ignore the guitar… I hope that helps!!
Yes, Pitch Correction is possible after a certain firmware version (the firmware can be updated with VoiceSupport 2), but the amount of Pitch Correction cannot be changed (only on/off is possible): "Auto-Chromatic Pitch Correction which gently corrects your pitch without the need to set key and scale. Double clicking the Tone button activates or de-activates Pitch Correction independently of the Live Engineer Effects." (TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT Product Manual, page 12)
I'm using this with a dynacord mixer. When I plug my acoustic guitar into the pedal and then the pedal into the desk, the mic and guitar are running through the one channel. How can I have My guitar in a separate channel
Try the TC Acoustic Play, 2 xlr outs can.be run in mono, 1 for voice, one for guitar, or stereo (mixed) it's big though and best used with an additional 3 or 6 pedal footswitch for more control
If you plug something into the Harmony-G XT's THRU jack, the guitar signal will only appear there (without the Harmony-G XT's effects), so it won't be heard on the Harmony-G XT's XLR outputs.
Anyone ever have an issue with the device activating on it's own and causing a micky mouse voice effect? The only way to stop it is to unplug it to restart .....I can't get any help from the TC HElicon My Tribe website
Tip 1: update the firmware with VoiceSupport 2, then recalibrate the potmeters. Tip 2: if the Harmony-G XT activates by itself, it could be because the Mic Control function is switched on. The Mic Control function can be turned off by the following methods: Method 1: turn off "48V". Method 2: if the "48V" should be on, then power on the pedal while holding the "Double" and "FX" buttons.
Is this what you mean? "Auto-Chromatic Pitch Correction which gently corrects your pitch without the need to set key and scale. Double clicking the Tone button activates or de-activates Pitch Correction independently of the Live Engineer Effects." (TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT Product Manual,page 12)
I can only think of one solution: use the INST THRU connector. In this case, the guitar sound will not appear on the XLR outputs, only on the INST THRU output (without reverb).

Yep! Needs a guitar as a reference to generate the harmony! You can set it to be a specific key… but it doesn’t work that well… using a guitar or keyboard or backing track works better!

Hi mate! Sorry I I haven’t come across this issue!!
Tip 1: update the firmware with VoiceSupport 2, then recalibrate the potmeters.
Tip 2: if the Harmony-G XT activates by itself, it could be because the Mic Control function is switched on. The Mic Control function can be turned off by the following methods:
Method 1: turn off "48V".
Method 2: if the "48V" should be on, then power on the pedal while holding the "Double" and "FX" buttons.
Can this run on a battery for busking?
No… no battery option…. That would be awesome though!!
The TC Helicon Harmony Singer 2 can. It’s the smaller, single sized pedal in blue
Can this do the micro pitch thing like on the eventide

"Auto-Chromatic Pitch Correction which gently corrects your pitch without the need to set key and scale. Double clicking the Tone button activates or de-activates Pitch Correction independently of the Live Engineer Effects." (TC-Helicon VoiceTone Harmony-G XT Product Manual,page 12)
how do you reset this unit?
You want to do a factory reset??
To reset the Harmony-G XT, insert the power connector while holding down ONLY the "Manual" and "Voice 2" buttons.
Can you bypass the guitar getting the reverb !?
I can only think of one solution: use the INST THRU connector. In this case, the guitar sound will not appear on the XLR outputs, only on the INST THRU output (without reverb).

1. Press both footswitches simultaneously to temporarily enter key setting mode. If no footswitch input is received after a few seconds, the mode will exit.
2. Tap the left footswitch to cycle through the key options and the right footswitch to cycle through the 6 available scales. After a moment, the mode will automatically exit.
Understanding the Manual key display:
The key in Harmony-G XT is shown in 3 sequential flashes. For example, an E might flash, then a dash “-”, and then a number 3 indicating E minor 3.The number corresponds to one of three major and three minor modified scales. Choosing an alternate scale may help you find a fixed-key harmony that works best for your song.
Once your key is set and you’re happy with it, it can be stored with the current preset by holding the Preset button."

@@kiskadar69 Thank You!
Anyone here got error #8? How to fix this please
The number 8 indicates a power supply failure. Try another power supply (12VDC, center negative, minimum 300mA).
Geez, way overblown on the reverb. It seems this box does not feature momentary switch for harmonies, which is a dealbreaker for me.
Do Breathe, Pink Floyd.
No way! Ha ha ha. Pink Floyd are serial video blockers and copyright strikers!
OK, didn't know@@thepedalpicassos
TC HELICON HARMONY G-XT, ¿sabes por que no suenan las voces y si la guitarra?".
Saya tidak percaya ia boleh menjadi sebaik ini
You better believe it! It’s amazing!
Sounds like this needs to be coupled with a guitar. Not good for a just a vocalist.
Yep! Needs a guitar as a reference to generate the harmony! You can set it to be a specific key… but it doesn’t work that well… using a guitar or keyboard or backing track works better!
@@thepedalpicassos would work with backing tracks too? Have you tried? Please, let me know❤
It can actually be used for voice alone.. which is why it is highly sought after. It's not instrument dependant
Nice toy but it Doesn't sound realistic
Why the stupid jungle music in the background
Sounds like garbage.The harmonies sound faje as hell
