TC-Helicon adds Delay, Distortion and Megaphones to VoiceTone Singles line of vocal stompbox effects

VoiceTone E1 and X1 deliver a pair of effects that add vocal ear-candy to any performance

(Victoria, Canada, April 6, 2011) TC-Helicon is continuing its commitment to singers, offering two new, creative and useful vocal effects stompboxes to the VoiceTone Singles line: VoiceTone E1 – Echo & Tap Delay and VoiceTone X1 – Megaphone & Distortion.

VoiceTone Singles are the ultimate combination of quality tone and simplicity. The two newest effects in the line inherit algorithms from the award-winning VoiceLive 2, so singers can pick and choose the exact effects they want without any sonic sacrifice.

Two new pedals in the VoiceTone Singles range:

E1: Echo & Tap Delay Available Summer 2011

X1: Megaphone & Distortion Available Summer 2011

VoiceTone E1 gives any vocalist simple access to delays and echos used in hit music production. Slapback, Echo, Tap Echo and FX styles can easily be selected and then tuned with the Feedback and Analog controls. Singers can tap song tempo and turn the effect on and off with the footswitch. Alternatively, on/off function can be operated with the Mic Control switch found on the optional MP-75 Modern Performance vocal microphone.

VoiceTone X1 borrows technology from TC-Helicon’s infamous Transducer block to emulate the sounds of telephones, distortions and amps to make vocals stand out in a mix. Each style can be tuned with dedicated Drive and Filter controls. It too can be controlled using the Mic Control feature of the MP-75 microphone.

VoiceTone Singles not only deliver the sound that vocalists dream of in a compact and easy to operate pedal, they also push the boundaries of innovation with the addition of Mic Control – TC-Helicon’s unique and innovative new technology that allows vocalists to switch the effects on and off from TC-Helicon’s brand new MP-75 Modern Performance vocal microphone.

Connect four…

Up to four VoiceTone Singles can be connected together with the Singles Connection Kit to form the ultimate vocal processing chain. The kit includes a 12V power supply, 3 x DC daisy-chaining connectors, and 3 x short XLR cables.
