Note 10

SOUND QUALITY

compressor anti feedback shape, gate are effective even if I do not use these two.
I have not used the pitch.
Note 9.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the correct XT to boost my gypsy guitar with a condenser mic AT PRO70 so via the XLR microphone input XT.
I really had problems with feedback to amplify my gypsy guitar. this couple micro AT PRO70 + TC Helicon Correct XT is really very good. anti feedback really plays his role well and the compressor also. I do not use neither the shape nor the pitch or the gate.
on the other hand here is a little expensive setup but I can amplify very comfortably in a deluxe fender amp HR without feedback.
Note 10.

Compressor, de-esser, EQ, EQ.
Everything necessary for correct singing oneself, in the form of "pedal".

All digital, XLR and Jack, XLR output jack double.

USB connector for firmware updates.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, the name and function of the buttons is obvious.
Be careful to not want to push too hard the compressor, otherwise generate a feedback which will bypass the filter for this purpose.

SOUND QUALITY

Everything works great (it's still TC Helicon).
Sennheiser E835S my mates there regularly.

OVERALL OPINION

Used in small and repeated scenes, it will be tested in the machine local sound engineer on larger scenes to take it seriously when you tell him everything-to-go "all tape about noon, I'll handle the rest ... "

it's good to become master of his song ...

See data and instructions.

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple, not need the manual. No edition I think.

OVERALL OPINION

First a clarification: I do not rate it, because I know nothing about singing and indeed I can not compare. I just give a feeling on this machine I use.

Well there is first the context: I do not pretend to be a "singer", I'm a scraper. And sometimes that pushes the song to accompany the guitar (yes, I know, usually the reverse).

So next gear, it's a little song cut issue: a microphone, an HP-type amplified stage monitor and voila.
Though I set as I wanted, or it was too serious or too sharp, or left it in feedback, and in any case, the sound was not clear enough to pass over the instruments.

On the same configuration, with just the CoorectXT and more ... was light.

All knobs at noon and the automatic features on it. This now passes the voice, and even well. It's not too serious, it's not too steep, it slams into the HP. Youpeee.
This gear is terrible for what it does.

The correction pitch now: Ya a lot of people who do not need, and who will watch very high by the poor, who use dung. But then, in a group, are musicians who sometimes push the song or the hearts and who, like me, have neither the desire nor the time to invest in singing lessons. So yes, it does help and it does a good job and it's not too intrusive if one does not push the knob too high.

It's really a good tool. And who can forget once in place, it is left over. I like.

UTILIZATION

Configuration ultra minimalist and that's good

Manual very clear

Easy use

SOUND QUALITY

Efficient compressor
Auto EQ bluffing
Effective color correction but this is not why I bought it.

Used with an AKG D7 and a Shure SM58.

I love the sound quality of the compressor and EQ. I like the anti feedback (feedback)
I like the least esser which tends to eat my intonation strong.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good product become almost impossible to find in France, I did not lie two dozen stores before found. (Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse ... to finally buy the Place Pigalle in Paris).

I use it for one month in rehearsals and live. I have not had any problems for integration into the PA with sound engineer, he was amazed. I said "You put everything at noon with the comp to 15% and it has really made.

I have not had the opportunity to test many processor except a TC Helicon Voice "touch I do not know what" a real gas works and I see something wrong grind in front of my audience between songs ...

As I said earlier, I like the comp and EQ, and also the anti feedback.
that is my least favorite (I sing of metal and guttural screamé) is the fact that the strong esser eat my intonation. When you make guttural is not cool. The esser and the comp are on the same channel, so if we want good comp you are forced to type the esser ... A bit dumb but as a principle requires size pedal ...

It's still a very good material, a bit expensive. It is not the "Messiah" I expected but I think I was doing illusions before buying. Kind you plug and everyone turns around and say "Whoa! Your sound is wonderful." No no it better it's true but not wonderful.

With experience ... yes but certainly cheaper .. a quarter of potatoes for a pedal ... it's still a bit expensive for rendering.


Conclusion: Good but overpriced hardware.
