Preamp / compressor suppressor feedback, pitch correction and noise gate all in a pedal format. She is also a direct box for guitar.
It is digital, an XLR mic input, instrument input jack, two XLR outputs, one for the microphone, the other for the instrument. There is also a USB connection for firmware update. It really is the preamp for a singer to be without démerder engineer. I put 10 because it has everything you need and nothing superfluous.

UTILIZATION

Operation is super simple. Before, I used a dbx 166a compressor, an anti larsen Roland the equalizer on my table and my preamp multi digitech vocal 300 effects. Needless to say it was bulky to transport and difficult to resolve for me who am not a sound engineer. I spent much time in books, forums and manuals, I tried various combinations, but I never reached a conclusive result.
Here in 5 minutes, I got a better result than anything I've experienced in 3 years.
Of course, purists will say you do not really control and that do not really know what you do, but the result is there.
Simple operation, I put 10!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is just fantastic. With the function Warmth is added roundness and warmth to his voice. You can activate a noise gate to avoid the chopper noise. The Feedback Detection is super efficient. It works much better than my old roland af70 which was dedicated to it yet. As a result, we have a equalizer. I do not know exactly how it works, there is only one knob and a program button. It is an equalizer that constantly adapts to your voice. The knob is used to give the general direction you want (more acute, more serious) and it is the processor that does everything. If you select the Fit, the equalizer adapts well depending on your distance from the microphone. It's really very effective and the sound is great.
Comes after the party compression / de-esser. Again a single knob and a button. Personally, I use the knob to 12. It's very effective, much easier to adjust my dbx and the sound is really pushed in front of the mix.
Last part of the pitch corrector. Use in moderation, otherwise, the effects are weird, but it works pretty good. It can help in some cases where you have to hold a note for a long time if we voice a little tired. It does not transform a bad singer good singer, but it can help.
I put 9, I would just like to have a little more control over eq.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days, but I was really amazed by the quality of the device. He replaced my compressor, my anti feedback. I plugged into my desk by putting all the knobs at 12 o'clock, I voice my n'utlise more than 300 effects. In fact, I sell my dbx and my anti feedback.

Maybe we can achieve a better result with a series of elements properly adjusted, but for those like me who have slaved because they do not fully mastered all the complicated stuff, it's the foot. In addition, live, hard to steer to the stage to turn a knob. There was just under the foot. It's really great.
I put 10!
