TC-Helicon Singles VoiceTone T1 Vocal Effects Processor

I highly recommend this tone pedal for vocal clarity and balance. This pedal allows the vocalist to control the compression and EQ of their own personal vocal performance when a sound-man is not present or available. It puts the vocalist in control of the mix. Great product and very useful.

近年の声のエフェクト技術の進歩は目覚ましいですが、ともすれば、飛び道具的・オモチャ的なものに注目が集まりがちかもしれません。本製品はその系統とは別な脈絡にある特にダイナミックマイクを使う時に起こりがちな次の３つの課題、 １、「音量の不要な変化」を抑える(かなりLimitter的なCompressor) ２、「こもりがち・ギラつき過ぎな音質」に対して倍音感を強調・あるいは抑制(Adaptive Shape) ３、「飛び出しがちな子音」を抑える(De-esser) を解決できる地味ながら優れた製品です。レコーディング用には山程のVocalエフェクト機材がありますが、マイクに直繋ぎできるものはほぼ存在せず、Vocalistはライヴ時、長らく自分で音質調整する事ができていませんでした。これらの意味で非常に画期的な製品だと言えます。また、これらの機能から結果的に信号のレベルを上げる事ができるため、出力先のヘッドアンプ等に対してもより強いサウンドを立ち上げることができます。 ☆４つにしたのは、ファンタム電源駆動でダイナミック／コンデンサーの両方を使える＆別電源不要にもできたんじゃないか？という気がしたからですが、現状は十分に素晴らしいものだと思います。

Had one of these 5yrs ago and worked fine when I didn’t know how to sing. Once you learn to sing and use eq all these vocal processors get in the way. Turn the reverb down below 1/4 too. Same with acoustic guitar processors. Eq and reverb is all one needs. Used small Yamaha mixer and an old Qsc k12 is the best rig on the planet. Not going into why here. Best acoustic guitar eq is baggs para di. Learn gain stage. Learn to use a mixer correctly. When live mix with gain not faders. Set all faders at noon. Pad the hot stuff down and mix with gain. Vocal gain should be between 2 and 3 o’clock. Highs up lows down. Leave mids alone. Final volume levels should be done on the powered speaker. Mixer master volume at noon to or 1.

This pedal has been a game-changer for me. With the handful of different configurations of audio interfaces, mics and pre-amps that I've used in the past, a persistent challenge was being able to dial in a consistently good incoming vocal signal. The result of that was doing tons and tons of takes, not necessarily because the performance wasn't solid, but because my equipment wasn't always capturing takes well. Getting my current vocal mic (an M-Audio Sputnik) made significant headway, and this pedal is what finally changed that all for the better. With minimal trial and error with the pedal's settings and gain-staging on my audio interface (a Steinberg UR-44), I was able to find a sweet spot where the audio being captured is consistently fuller and more even, allowing me to focus much more on vocal performance rather than wondering if a sub-par setup will cause an otherwise good take to go to waste. If you're a singer, or if you record other singers, I can't recommend this enough. You won't find a better tool for the price.
