Designed specifically for solo and duo performers, the Perform-VG's powerful vocal effects engine captures chordal information from your guitar to transform your voice into realistic vocal harmonies. Add depth to your sound with reverb, echo, and other effects. Maintain perfect intonation with auto-chromatic pitch correction. And employ adaptive EQ, compression, gating, and de-essing to put the final shine on your voice.
is it possible/safe to plug a yamaha C4 stage piano (L/mono) into this as well as an acoustic guitar? I play both, but don't want to buy both the VK and the VG, let alone switch between the two during a gig. Also, is there pitch correction on this one like the VK? Thanks
Harmonizer sounds nice at any price point. I'd like to see it harmonize over slightly more complex chords. The rest of the features are also great and should be given how long manufacturers have been making them.
Can't wait to buy it
Wish a person could get one !
Compared to other brands tc helicon delivers better harmony and has good harmony tracking. Like from major to minor, Sus to maj, it also depends which chord position youre using so to get the right harmony voice to float out. Ive tried and owned a single blue harmony singer and now use tc helicon gxt the harmony tone voice are a bit different. try test before buying. they have a lot for you to choose that will suit your taste. Example of good harmony tracking using the proper chord position - "sound of silence song" very close harmony to point. If the harmony is out you might not be using the right chord position. (1st/2nd/3rd/ openchords/slash chords.)
I sure hope this works on banjo...also, the overlap or lack thereof in these products is frustrating. I popped on this, over the VE because it has some things that should help get my live banjo sound to where I want it. Enough cheaper too. If the VE had some of the things this had it may have drawn me up. And also, if this had some of the cool features of the VE I would be more confident in my purchase. I also play bass so I’m concerned I won’t have the right amount of badassery to warrant bringing the extra kit into the band. Fingers crossed, it looks like a great and useful unit. If only it had everything! Such is life
I always have Tc Helicon staff in my gear. Thank you, guys. I have a request for the next firmware update. Using 3/6 switch (personally I have 6) I'd like to map more than one function: e.g., MIX button boost the guitar (already exist) plus engage ECHO (my request). Totally cool. I don't need ECHO when I'm stumming. I need it when I play solo. Please DO IT
Once a 1/4 inch is plugged into the thru jack, does it automatically bypass? Or does it recognize an acoustic signal and still send output through the mic out? Am curious of being able to run both acoustic and electric signal through this puppy. Not at the same time, just during a show, it would be great to switch between acoustic and electric between songs and have everything consistent.
Craig?? is that a song or....? I'd really like to hear the rest of it.
Im still using my H1 for now, I love it.
Yeah it's a song called "The Fading" that was on an album I did way back in 1998 haha. Maybe I'll bug the video guy to get a performance of it captured.
Hi, What is the difference between TC-Helicon Perform-VG and TC-Helicon Perform-V? I´m asking about the vocal part, not the guitar part.Can you beam with the TC-Helicon Perform-V?
No you can not beam anything with the Perform v App To the VG....i own both. V and VG...To me VG sounds better (i use VG with electric guitar) the Vocal section ist more tweakable than Perform V.
So no harmonies unless your playing a guitar?
can you tell me the differences with TC Helicon Harmony Singer Guitar-Controlled Harmony Reverb & Tone Effects Pedal
This unit offers some guitar effects for acoustic guitar (Harmony Singer is just a passthrough) and the ability to assign harmonies to various external switches as we show around the 4:30'ish mark.
Quick question...i just purchased this box but the power adapter that came with it is i believe a chinese adapter which will not work....can you tell me what adapter i need for this?...Is it a standard 9 volt ?
Hey britishinvader, thanks for the question. The Perform VG requires a 12 volt supply. We sell the recommended supply on our site here:

Give me a shout if you have any more questions!

Hi , Would you recommend this also for a frontman of a pop/rock cover band?
Why is my TC helicon mic so much lower in volume/power than my acoustic guitar?
gerry
I wanted to ask if the bass guitar can be used with this device
How do I switch and change the volume of my vocals and then my guitar???
You should have 4 hands to use this gear and sing. Without switch 3 or 6 this gear is not practical. I think voicelive 3 is a better option.
Can I use the PERFORM-VG along with my current guitar pedals (Keeley Compressor Plus, Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master V3 and my Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo Reverb V3)???.... I know that the PERFORM-VG also allows to bring effects to the guitar, but I don't what to replace my current pedal effects.... so this is possible? Can the PERFORM-VG still understand my guitar after passing through my pedals and then use this as the "reference level" to adjust my voice and the guitar sound?
I am curious. Can I run my electric guitar tuner input into this, but make it so I only hear my voice in this devices output??
Hi does the vl3 have an automatic anti-feedback or there is a menu where we can activate it or disable it?
Thx
meeeeeeen you guys take the perform V on steroids
I love that I can assign different settings to the Switch 6 and use multiple different types of harmonies in the same song. Can I do the same by hooking up the switch 6 to the Acoustic Play? I need to have separate outputs for guitar and vocal so the VG is no good for me.
Hi, Marieke. Great question! The Voice Live Play Acoustic manual only mentions the Switch 3 and not the 6, however according to some reviews on our product page, the Switch 6 seems to work as expected when used with the Voice Live Play Acoustic. So, I can promise you the Switch 3 would work, and the Switch 6 probably will! Luckily we have stellar customer service, so if you run into any issues, we will take care of you! Call me if you have further questions.

Is this only made for plug-in acoustic guitar or can you Mic the guitar if it's the guitar you were using is not a plug-in guitar and still use the product. Basically what I'm asking is can you use this product if you have to mic an acoustic guitar
Hey Andy. There's no second mic input for the acoustic, so it's definitely designed with a pre-amped guitar in mind. That said, there's a small "RoomSense" mic on the front of the unit that can capture your chords from a nearby acoustic, so you can get key/scale for Harmony without plugging the guitar in. That doesn't solve an amplification problem, but you could separately mic the guitar to a mixer while still getting the harmony component.
So basically to turn on or off the harmonies or any other effect for that matter,you would need to purchase the footswitch ,example you want to bring in the harmonies just for the chorus of the song ,how would you go about switching to harmonies when the unit is mounted on the microphone stand,unless you do it by hand and get out off beat from playing your guitar,or again a foot switch is required (mandatory) or this unit is absolutely useless without the foot switch,unless I'm missing something, want to purchase, please clarify.
Hi, Tony. Yes, if you want to be able to turn the harmonies and effects on and off on the fly while playing, you'll want the optional footswitch.
Thanks for your interest!

@@sweetwater thanks mate ,with the additional cost of the foot switch ,might as well pick up the TC Helicon Acoustic Play instead ,for about $120 extra but tons of more features except delay on guitar effects ,that's the only downside ,happy Holliday to you all 👊😎👍
@@tonymediati8274 how would you use the TCH acoustic play in areal gig situation? There’s no thru on the back of unit? The sound guy needs two signals correct? One for house pa and one for your monitor? Cheers
Can you confirm for me, does the TC Helicon Perform VG have a Double - Doubling voice effect?
(The Perform V have it as a button, and the Perform VK can Import the Doubling effect as a Preset with the app through the Beam- Beamable, but for the Perform VG I can't find the answer on the internet
Hi Milos, this is a good question! Unfortunately, the Perform VG will not be able to do doubling for you. The Harmony effect does not have any unison modes, only intervals above and below, and the unit itself does not have any presets or the ability to beam presets into it. The only options to get doubling with that unit would be to have another unit in line like their Duplicator pedal.
If you have further questions, just give me a ring!

@@sweetwater Thank you for your response 🙏 I'm feeling a bit unsure about how to utilize the Duplicator pedal and the Perform VG simultaneously with only one microphone. 🤔 Would it be necessary to have two separate microphones on stage, with one connected to the VG and the other to the Duplicator? 🎤🎤 Or is there an alternative method for connecting both units to a single microphone? 🤔
@@milosdziknic5300 Only need the one mic! Just take the XLR out of the Duplicator into the XLR in of the Perform VG. Their automatic gain control should take care of you, but the Perform VG does have a manual gain override if you need to turn it down to not distort.

If I were to plug a piano keyboard into the guitar input, will the harmonies work?
Hello, Shawn! The harmonies will indeed still work if you plug a keyboard in instead of a guitar. The effects on board (outside the vocal effects) are more intended for guitar, but they will still work all the same.
Thanks for the interest!

My Perform VG's guitar effects aren't working. Can this be sent in for repair ? I don't have an acoustic with a pickup, but I do have a Strat, and when I play through it, I get no effects, even though they are on. I do get the vocal effects. Am I doing something wrong, or is it broken? Bueller ? Bueller ?
Our team would be glad to look into this for you! When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 222-4700 or email us at sales@sweetwater.com. You may also visit www.sweetwater.com/about/contact
Thanks for the message!
Can you use it with a wireless microphone?
Hello, babydollrock! Yes you definitely can! Your receiver would need to be wired to the Perform, but as long as you’re good with that it’s totally possible.
Give us a shout and we can discuss in more depth! Thanks for the interest!

hi , Am Chris I bought Tc Helicon VK but am a bit disappointed the the tone is not giving me the kind of hardtune i was expecting from the unit. Although i like the quality of the voice but I bought it expecting to have similar hardtune like on the Pa4x and on the Voicelive touch 2. Could you suggest to Tc Helicon to give us an update that allows us to tune in the level of Hard tune the customers want instead of that minimal fixed to it produces? Thanks
Huh???????
Touch 2 has a dedicated "HardTune" block, but VG doesn't have that effect at all. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding of the capabilities of VG?
interesting... but: I, for example, have 125 songs in my portfolio - almost all with different harmonies settings...I can only remember them (I can't!) if I look at a sheet with a designated preset.....w/o clickable presets I'd be lost - I would say this piece is not very live performance user friendly...IMHO
Can this be used for vocals only?
Hello, britishinvader! Correct, this is intended for vocals but really you could run anything you want through it. There are no rules 😃
Give us a shout and we can discuss in more depth!
Thanks for the interest!

Can you double and reverb at the same time? Can you mix it up?
Hi, Nicky. You can use the doubling and reverb simultaneously on that pedal, correct. You can also control the mix levels.
If you have any other questions let us know. Thanks!

Will this work with an electric guitar?
Hi, yeswolf1. It could potentially work with an electric guitar but many of the effects are voiced specifically for acoustic. If you’re playing electric, it would probably be better to use some dedicated guitar effects pedals.
Thanks for your interest!

The one I have has a bad "hum" in it ... The hum goes away IF I touch one end or the other end of the patch cable ... completely goes away ... but ... once I let go ... the hum is BACK... I've tried different patch cables ... doesn't matter .... I don't get the hum if I plug my guitar into my guitar amp OR even if I use a VOX Amp Plug.... Strange ... any suggestions?
Sometimes you can get a ground loop if your PA/Mixer/Amp are plugged into a different outlet than the VG. Putting everything onto the same circuit can help. Also, there's a tiny "GND" switch on the back of the product that lifts the ground. That can help too. Give it a try :)
I am very confused about all the similar TC-helicon products. Which are the ones that do harmonies?
There's a ton of TCH products that do harmony, since it's kind of our coolest trick ;) I think the best way to figure out what you need is to narrow down to things like "Do you want a guitar or MIDI input?" "Do you want looping, or guitar effects?". The sales engineers at Sweetwater are great at helping figure that kind of thing out with you and directing you to the best solution for your budget.
@@tchelicon Ca I use harmony without plug in to a guitar?
@@ayamjago449 Yes you can! the Perform VG has a built-in room mic that will pick up on what you are playing right in front of it and generate harmonies based on that!
TC HELICON where is the built in room mic exactly? Do I have to activate it?
@@ayamjago449 You don't have to activate the room mic actually! The tiny hole between the "mix" and "echo" buttons is the mic - it automatically engages if there isn't a guitar in detected through a TRS Cable to the VG. If there is a guitar plugged in, the room mic disengages and instead the VG relies on the information being transmitted through the TRS cable. Thanks for singing with us!
but does it work when playing minor chords and minor harmonies?
Kihei Seto it picks harmony based on the chord you play in real time. So if your playing a minor chord, the harmony will be minor to match.
Does it store last settings used?
Thanks!
Hi, Roland! Thanks so much for reaching out. Yes, this will store the last settings used.

Does it have an output to a daw???
Hey, Kenneth! Thanks for your interest. This does not have a direct DAW output, you would need to send one of the analog outputs to an interface to record.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1793, connor_smith@sweetwater.com
Hi, can this be plug in to a Fender Champion 40 amp?
Sure can. I'd suggest going into Perform-VG and then use the THRU to go out to your amp/pedals. This mutes the guitar in the main output of the VG and only uses the guitar signal for chord detection for harmony.
When will you start shipping ?
Ordered mine on Thursday and got it today!
hi, can we use any VST tones in this machine?
Hey, Jomon! Josh here at Sweetwater… Thanks for the inquiry! Great question. This guy has the vocal and guitar sounds built in. This doesn't function like a standalone sampler that can take VST's. Give me a shout, though, so I know we're on the same page!
Josh Kattner, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, 800-222-4700 ext. 1689, Josh_Kattner@Sweetwater.com
can I Use the Unit with electric guitar too?
You could, but I'd use the IN/THRU to go out to your amp and/or pedals. The processing inside the unit is meant more specifically for acoustic.
johnny knoxville, is it you?
I am his doppleganger!
.....does he sing like a Christian music 'star' too?
Is it possible to mute guitar in mix?
turn the volume knob down on your guitar?
Use a cable plugged into the thru on the back of P-vg
He likes to say "product", doesn't he

Pro tip: leave out the guitar and just do the voice. Bad advertising that your guitar buries your vocal
