What are the effects or types of effects available?

I will not enumerate the features, it's best to be informed on the manufacturer's website TC-HELICON where many video demos are available.

Are they editable? Via an editor Mac / PC?

Yes, via VoiceSupport software for Mac and PC (downloadable from the manufacturer's website) and can update, edit and upload new presets.

What is the connection? XLR outputs, instrument input, AUX input, MIDI (Thru), headphone jack and of course pedal input XLR MIC.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple? Editing sounds and effects is it easy?

Yes, single arch!


The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

No, it's a little foutage of mouth. In the box there is only a quick start guide. The first few minutes, you feel a bit lost but once you read the manual (downloadable), everything seems much simpler. Getting started is quick and hassle free.

SOUND QUALITY

I first connected my XLR to studio monitors M-AUDIO BX8a: PERFECT!! The big slap!

Then I tried to connect to the line input of my POD Studio UX2, and there is the same as slap. The sound quality is at the appointment. I honestly did not expect this. No hum, no noise, it is nickel. The quality of the pre-amp is excellent (thank you Helicon!)
I use it with a microphone SHURE SM58 is great. The harmonies are beautiful and quite realistic. The effects are really stunning. For cons, I find that the gain knob located on the side very practical. But hey, it does a good job and it helps manage the feedback (almost nonexistent).

I would add that in conncetée usb on a PC or a Mac, this pedal acts as a recording interface.

Whether it's an electro acoustic or electric is perfect. Everything is configurable. The guitar effects are not transcendent but honestly, it does.

I just need a sound processor to equip my home studio, when suddenly I saw the price difference between the play and the play version of GTX I did not hesitate. 100 euros more, it can take it anywhere, repeats or knocking beef unencumbered supplémentaire.Ok a pedal, the amp simulations are not great in comparison with my guitar rig or pod Pro but frankly it does.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 days. I had the opportunity to test the VoiceWorks addition, it is much better but too complex to set up.

What I like the most: manufacturing quality and robustness, simplicity to use and edit the various functions, but also the sound quality!!

What I like least? Nothing, except the gain dial and the fact that there was no switch but only a power supply.

Maybe a little too early to tell, but I'm really happy with my choice and I do not regret it. This pedal is really an ally of the singer and guitarist
