DigiTech Vocalist Live 3 Vocal Harmony Processor Pedal  

I've wondered about these proccessors for a while, just recently bought one. This thing is amazing. I will be using it alot in my shows. Vocals are not my fellow band members strong point. so this is the perfect cure for my need of backup vocals.. straight out of the box, i set this up with all settings to 50%, and then with some minor adjustments, Botta Bing, 1 or 2 professional backup singers...Buy one, you won't regret it. if your a guitarist-singer you need this....

Works fine

Worth every $$$

Love the control you have with it.

Much greater span of control vs the Vocalist 2. Includes being able to utilize the reverb and Chorus to the Guitar. Also able to combine the guitar mix and vocal into the Microphone output feed. This means you play and sing solo you do not necessarily need a separate mixing desk.

I have not owned it long enough to be able to rate this well - but everything worked out of the box.

As this unit does not need pre-programing of key's and harmonizes on the fly as you play, it is a very powerful tool, which makes it a great value.

I owned the Vocalist 2 and upgraded to the 3. Although this unit is not as simple to use as the V2, the added control parameters more than make up for it. Also you have 5 pre-programmable harmony patterns with A B setting and the choice of male/ female harmony voices (giving a total of 10 programs). However with all the parameter settings available, I would suggest you plan to put in quite a few hours of practice before playing.

I played a gig with it this week, and due to the flexibility I could dial in the sound better than the V2. The only concern I had was a tendency for the pedal to "lift" when you stomp on the A/B switch. Also do not expect the pitch correction to fix a missed note - it seems to only be able to fix a limited error.

Still working on that.

Seems to be hassle free so far.

Simple, easy to use right out of the box. Anyone looking to play out live by thereself with an acoustic guitar could use this little processor.

Okay.  This is the most interesting device I have ever purchased, and I have had the opportunity to put it through it's paces. And it is difficult to determine where to start, except to say, I wish I had purchased it sooner.  It would have cured a lot of embarrassing moments for me.  First off, you have to know, I cannot sing, to the point where I refuse to record myself singing.  I seem to be tone death only when I hear my own voice.  I cannot even tell what to do with my voice to bring it in tune.  And now I am not afraid to record myself.  Though do not expect miracles.  That is not what I am suggesting.  I can go from being a terrrible sucky singer to being somewhere between bad and okay.  I miss notes but here is the thing, I can tell that I am learning how to sing with this pedal.  I hate the sound of my voice, so I pull my voice out of the mix and use one of the harmony voices.  I noticed that when I do this, I can turn the pitch correction down which takes away a lot of the autotune sounding stuff.  Friends and family do not recognize it as my voice, but at the same time their comments to a recording were "That guy isn't bad.  He needs some work, but he isn't bad."  And listen - to me - that is a huge compliment.  Am I a lead singer now?  No way.  But I am feeling much more confident with the back-up vox I need to provide for my band.

But here is the other thing, my wife can sing, she is really good, but she lacks confidence.  I plugged her into the machine, and we did a cover of Someone Like You - and OMG - Amazing.  And for her, it was mostly the engineering functions.  Compression.  EQ.  Warmth.  These were the things I played with for her voice, and gave her just a hint - call it a "2" of Pitch Correction.  And she nailed Adele.  Her comment was that she would feel incredibly comfortable doing acoustic gigs with me, and this is a woman who has never had the confidence to get on stage.

Finally, the kids love it for the Autotune - yes, you can give yourself the T-Pain voice or the BEP effect.  Whatever it is called.  You can set it to give it a nice recreation for that.

So I found 3 situations where this was an awesome little device in owning just for a week.  It took a guy who cannot sing a lick and made him presentable and is helping him learn how to sing.  For someone who can, sing I would totally recommend it.  It gives a nice tone to the voice.  And yes, for the kids out there, you can dial in that autotune style that is popular, and go to town.  Definitely useful.

Hence it will take your vocals to the next level.  If you suck, you will only be bad to okay.  But if you are good it can take you to rock star.
