Vocal Harmony & Effects for Guitarists

Harmony-G XT; now with Pitch Correction

Auto chromatic pitch correction gently shifts your voice closer on pitch, making you sound better. It's called Auto Chromatic because you don't have to set anything other than turn it on. It's like singing with a person who sings perfectly on pitch. The subtle pitch adjustments improve your sound but they also serve as a guide that helps you sing better too.

Easy Harmony Generation

Harmony-G XT has a good ear for music. It listens to your performance and decides what harmony notes would sound best with your song. Connect your guitar and a mic, choose one of the presets, play guitar and sing. No special guitar pickups, pre-programming, or extensive musical knowledge are required in order to use Harmony-G XT.

Choose Your Sound

You're in control of a wide range of useful, exciting sounds. From a standing position you can switch through the five factory presets, each with a unique setting of effects, harmony and doubling and then choose the A or B effect within each preset. If you only need three presets or you want up to ten, this is configurable in Harmony-G XT.

You can edit the presets easily and store them as your personal combination. For example, the harmony voice interval range offers you an combination of two of the following including two of the same for added thickness:
 

• Higher and Low which center around a 5th above or 4th below
• High and Lower which center around a 3rd above or 6th below
• Bass, which sings the root of your guitar chord even if you're singing other notes
• Octave up and down

The "FX" for each preset can be selected as well. Each of the categories of Hall, Room, Echo, Slap, Combi and SFX has three alternates. These are more than just add-on effects! These are the real deal from VoiceLive 2 including combinations of reverb, delay and µmod (micromod) that will put you and your harmony voices in a professional sounding, immersive space.
 

Overdub Live

In a recording you can layer your lead melody to create extra thickness. Live, it's not so easy. The Double button on Harmony-G XT activates a realistic, overdub style doubling effect on your voice that you can use alone or in tandem with the harmony voices. You have four options for doubling you can choose from:
 

• The default: 1 voice with tightest humanization
• 1 voice with looser, more natural humanization
• 2 tight voices
• 2 natural voices

Better Overall Tone

Don't let that simple-looking Tone button fool you. Beneath is a professional signal chain including:

• Adaptive Shape - a unique boom reduction and brightness enhancer
• Compression - smoothing peaks and gently raising low level detail
• De-ess - reduces harsh consonant sounds
• Adaptive gate - which can help reduce feedback while reducing harmonized chattering of instruments when you're not singing.

Once Tone is activated, it remains in effect when harmonies are on and off and even in Bypass so you can chat with your audience using the same great tone as when you sing.

FAQ

What is VoiceTone Harmony-G XT?
VoiceTone Harmony-G XTis a vocal harmony & effects pedal for singing guitarists that analyzes the voice and guitar input to produce musically correct, tight harmonies as well as intelligently mixing effects, EQ, dynamics and levels.

Who is VoiceTone Harmony-G XT for?
Harmony-G XT is for the guitar player who sings. It can also be used by singers that do not play guitar and horn players. Solo acoustic guitar performers will especially appreciate the ability to create an automated mix of guitar, harmonies, and effects at the stereo output. Electric guitar players will appreciate having the guitar pass-thru to their amplifiers.

What are the main features?
- Intelligent arrangement of 2-harmony voices based on guitar and voice input
- Complete vocal processing path including harmony, reverb/delayµmod, Adaptive EQ/Dynamics/Gate, and Doubling
- Professional build and sound quality with a no-worry user interface

What will VoiceTone Harmony-G XTdo for me?
When a singing guitarist adds Harmony-G XT to their performance, they will be able to showcase a fully-produced vocal sound. They can get this without having to worry about programming or mixing. However, they do get real-time access to presets and customizable A and B settings to build creative changes into their songs.

How is Harmony-G XT different from the competition?
Harmony-G XT is different from the competition in three areas:
- Value: you get better and more features for less money
- Natural sound: TC-Helicon has a respected history of producing smooth and natural harmony parts and vocal effects
- Quality: the construction quality and fastidious audio design delivers better performance in all aspects of a gigging musician’s life.

Can I use my condenser microphone?
Yes, all VoiceTone pedals can add +48V phantom power to your microphone input to power your condenser microphone.

What audio quality can I expect from VoiceTone products?
You can expect the best audio quality of any floor effects device for any instrument you’ve ever used. In fact, you can expect the same or better audio quality from VoiceTone pedals as you’d expect from high-end recording equipment. Check out the technical specs for more information.

Will I get more feedback with VoiceTone?
Audio feedback is caused by a combination of level, direction, and distance of the microphone to a speaker. The chance of feedback will be similar for you with VoiceTone as it was before. A benefit for anyone who has been plagued by feedback problems is you now control your level, EQ and gating.

Can VoiceTone pedals use batteries?
No, and you’ll appreciate why: guitar pedals often use standard 9V batteries, but to get high-end microphone preamp quality, non-standard and expensive rechargeable batteries would need to be used. This would significantly affect VoiceTone’s price, which we believe most singers wouldn’t appreciate.
