Best value: Correct
Multiple voice and guitar effects to explore. Complete product.

I was not able to edit them on PC, I work, I find it weird. on the other hand, they are easily savable, and we can import from the manufacturer site, depending known titles.
I takes only "good" for the moment in this category because I have not found how to edit effects on pc, if this is possible, then the rating will go up. But in this case, the interface is not clear ...

The pedal is strong, thick metal casing, this seems serious.

Digital Effects

For connectivity, see the pictures on the net.

UTILIZATION

Rather simple, but many preset, you have to spend time searching. For editing effects, it is simple. The manual is clear.

Everything is configurable, but in moderation: for reverb for example, has a whole series of different simulations, and for each rule on the level and decay. Enough general rule, but the specialist home studio and full effect could be frustrated.

Very simple loop.

Little additional info: USB connection allows you to record your favorite sounds out of VoiceLive software directly, without passing through a sound card. on the other hand, it is mono (injury). For the stereo, it will go through an interface.

SOUND QUALITY

For what I've tried for the moment, it is very nice, clean and very efficient. It finds herself with artificial sounds if you do not take care to go slowly, but it seems logical given the plethora of effects arranged.

The harmonies are effective and play their role, we want to put everywhere!

I use an electro-acoustic guitar, so I will not judge the effects for electric guitar. For guitar effects for me, I have not explored it enough to judge.

No breath, except that of my guitar, but there VoiceLive is nothing to do, there is a gate that gets the job done: a small click when the gate turns off when the guitar attack, to see the use if it is embarrassing.
The sound is very clean.

Compressor, de-esser, EQ, gate ... everything is present, nothing is configurable in detail. But it works well, there is a choice between several desired results. when it all off, the sound dry micro looks bleak, it quickly puts the machine at work, and forget.

On additional voice, VoiceLive Play GTX offers 2 voice over (the third and the fifth for example). BUT, you can put in longer doubling effect, which offers eg 2 vote in addition to the octave. It can therefore be left with 4 singers: this is cool!

Small addition: When used with headphones (this is less pronounced sound, and the sound is, the less it does), there is a small delay between what you sing and what you up to ears. So, it gives an impression of delay a little synthetic. In fact, it does it at the singer. Those who listen only hear amplified version, phew.

OVERALL OPINION

I just buying it, it's cool, and I could not compare it with other models. I am currently very satisfied, I will complete this test As my discoveries. No surprise this time.

I bought it for a complete system-level voice effects, and especially the harmonies.
I took second hand, almost new, for a very reasonable price. Now, even new, the price is quite reasonable in view of the available functions.

This is a great product to buy if you are looking for harmonies and you're not too rich guitar effect.
