Makos « Fun ... but disappointing »
Published on 03/27/12 at 12:45Small box-shaped solid pedal to 3 switches, clear large display, navigation buttons and knob selection.
Behind it is an auxiliary input, an XLR input, an input / output guitar, 2 L / R outputs XLR In a noon and a headphone output.
A knob on the side rather impractical to adjust the gain of the preamplifier
Manufacturing correct, all seems solid and well finished.
To learn everything he can do with this pedal, I invite you to visit the manufacturer's website.
UTILIZATION
Let's start with what annoys: The pre-amp and its setting. Zero. And that's a shame because it was first made Voicelive for "sung in" ... and to sing in it must connect a microphone. I tested four different. The only one who got away with the pre-amp is a capacitor (t-bone) and yet, when I say "released" I'm nice. The knob on the side is not practical at all and the race is very small gain of 95% on full blast and a few millimeters remaining ... not good at all on that side.
For the rest it is very well done, well thought out ergonomics. The menu navigation is intuitive, the display is clear. many options ... TC-Helicon's quality. All the know-how TC is in the machine (on guitar harmonies on Midi in, on auxillary input on integrated microphone background, nice reverbs, full of fun effects ... etc.)
Note that this only works VoiceLive Play plugged in, not on batteries.
SOUND QUALITY
Once you find the microphone who wants to work with this machine, the overall quality is good, the TC-Helicon. The guitar effects board without being transcendent are well made and can be considered not to move with his pedal effects 5kg (son and all
. Treatments on the voices come from the range VoiceLive and have proven, good here also. In order not to gun down the product, I note here the sound quality of treatments, not the preamp. I think overall reflect the whole.
OVERALL OPINION
Too bad ... damage they are misses on the pre-amp this VoiceLive. I am familiar with their products used intensely and VoiceWork VoiceLive 2. In fact this pedal is a sort of half VoiceLive 2. The number of dubbing / harmonies is 2 times lower. I think they have placed a single DSP. The VoiceLive 2 has cons, not perfect, a very good pre-amp AGC, nothing to do with this ersatz VoiceLive in this Play. As this machine is mainly done to receive the same voices that go into a microphone, it is simply barely passable and the worst part is that it takes all the good potential of the craft.
In short: tried, triturated for one month ... returned from the merchant. Not good.
If this kind of pedal "voice" tempts you, look in Cygnus VoiceLive 2 'or VoiceWork MIDI or if you need programming. Or wait to have the budget for the afore-mentioned products, there's no picture!
EDIT: For ceusses who would really buy this machine and have them set in a pre-amp, they can go through it and entered the VoiceLive Play with a setting for dynamic mic ... it can be a solution but ... if you must come with its pre-amp, that's not it!
