  1. Hello… so I’m having a minor problems with the Pedal… I Like to activate the harmonies with a 3rd above,,,, when i do this I can Hear a Low Octave Voice.. together with the 3rd above my Main Vocal..So I end up hearing 3 voices ..I did a Factory reset..nothing same problem… I spit the guitar signal and NOT Using the Thru Output and Nada ..Help
    Thnks Great Pedal… I recently Up-graded to the G-XT from a Harmony G.
    thnks for yr Help. “)

  2. I have used the GX-T for several live gigs and love it! I have a question now that you can help me with. I am using it in my song writing process, and was curious if I could plug it in directly to my studio monitors, which are powered, using the two separate cables to plug directly into the monitors… stereo setup. ?? Thanks!

    • Hi Cole,

      Yep you could do that. One caution I’d give is to make sure you don’t use your Input knob on the GX-T for volume. Set it (and forget it as Ronco would say) optimally according to your manual and then use the volume control on the speakers.

  3. I purchased your harmony Gtx model and recently spent some good money to have the anthem sl/ l.r. Baggs pic-up installed…the guitar sounds great….this is my delimma, when running my guitar and my vocal mic to the gtx.amd out to my mixer i’m getting Squabble…..what can i do to alleviate this problem?? i hope to hear from you,
    thank you frederic pulley

    • Hi frederic,

      I’m guessing “squabble” means harmony warble when you don’t want it.

      There are several tricks to reduce unwanted triggering of harmonies:
      1. Get a mic with as tight a polar pattern as possible
      2. Position monitors so that they don’t shoot sound right at the mic
      3. Turn down the FOH PA if it’s very loud
      4. Ensure that you have enough level going into the G-XT and sing as “on top” of the mic as you can.

  4. hello chris here with a question . i just purchased the Harmony GXT and was wondering how and where in the signal chain i should place it when using my Boss RC-50 looper . i think this can be done just don’t quite know how to set it up . i want to loop guitar tracks and then have the harmony Gxt track the looped guitar so i can make harmony loops on the fly for my one man show.

  5. Please, send me information about output helicon harmony g-xt. The effects are present only in the mono output, correct or maybe a defect? Thank’s for all.

  6. Is there a comparison somewhere between the VoiceTone Harmony G-XT and the just released VoiceLive Play GTX? I’m a guitar player and a mediocre singer (a little “pitchy”), if that helps.

  7. I can’t seem to get phantom power using my shure beta-87. It’s does’nt seem to register when I turn up the input knob (no green or orange light) but it works with a non condenser mic. Can you please help me out “THANKS” FRUSTERATED

    • Hi Larry,

      Have you done the press/hold of Manual/Double to enable Phantom power? You should see the small 48V LED lit.

  8. I have just got the harmony gxt to use for my solo ukulele gigs. It is amazing but I would like to know what are the different tone presets?

  9. Hi, Joey!

    Good support and comments, thanks. Question: Does a written list/chart exist for the scales the unit generates when a given input note is sung (or played, I’m a horn player also) i.e. “In Manual Mode, key of C, C input produces a hi G, hi E, lo E, lo G, lo C (depending which led is lit, of course) C# input produces . .blah blah. It would be useful to have this to understand what modes and scales emerge. It may be, for example, you can get the desired harmonies for a song in key of G by setting the unit to key of C. A chart would show this clearly. I could write it myself in a day or so, but has somebody else done the work? Thanks! Dave Keeney

  10. can i disable the guitar effects? i want to use the unit to mix my guitar and vocals, but i have a processor that i will be using that has reverb built in and i dont want to use the internal reverb to effect the guitar. plus i really would like sometimes to have more reverb on the guitar than on the vocals and this seems also imposible. its just a simple question. is there a way to turn off the reverb on the guitar?

    • Use Thru out for the guitar for unprocessed guitar output.

  11. Hi Maurin,

    According to the advertising, the Harmony-G XT is designed to be used with or without an instrument. I do karaoke and would love to be able to use this processor for this purpose, i.e. not run the karaoke machine through the G-XT, just the singer’s voice. The doubling effect, harmony and other processes would be killer.

    Usually the song key is stated on every karaoke CDG and I see that the key can be set manually into the G-XT, so that’s not a problem. However, many songs change keys in the middle of the song at least one time. Will the G-XT follow?

    Unfortunately, all of the reviews and videos show the G-XT being used only in conjunction with a guitar.

    So, my question is – can the Harmony G-XT be successfully used for karaoke? Will it be effective without using an instrument?

    Thanks for your consideration.

    Frank

    • Hiya Frank,

      Yes, as you’ve mentioned – a key and scale can be set on the Harmony-G XT as opposed to it being used with a guitar.

      The issue is that when your song changes it’s original key the Harmony-G XT will not change from it’s setting unless you program a preset for the key change. If the key change is diatonic (with in the same notes of the original scale) it should work fine, however this isn’t the case with many popular tunes.

      Both the VoiceLive Touch and VoiceLive 2 have an auxillary input which makes it possible to feed an external audio source into the unit for the purpose of generating harmonies. I would suggest that doing it this way would be a lot more efficient and flexible in the long run with what you’re suggesting.

      Best wishes,

      Joey

    • It will work perfectly if the song stays at the tone given. If not, guess what :)

  12. my G xt voice support does not detect the gxt? tried it on several computers… also the harmony control knob does not lower or raise the harmonies at all… the FX volume control is also doing the same thing

    what can i do to get the gxt to connect to voice support

    thanks

  13. I just wanted to share what I was able to create with the help of the awesome TC Helicon Harmony G-XT.

    I was looking for a nice little vocal processor to add to my growing little ‘mini studio’ set-up. Being more of a hobbyist than anything else, I did not need an expensive high-end unit. I looked at the different vocal effect processors in my price range: (Digitech Vocalist live, Boss VE-20, etc. ), read the reviews and bought the Boss VE-20 . I ended up returning it, being not too impressed by it’s harmony sounds and ‘so-so’ effects.

    Enter the TC Helicon Harmony G-XT.

    From the moment I heard those first ‘harmonies’ being generated, I was hooked ! It just sounded so pleasing to my ears. I’m not a great vocalist by any means, but this little stomp-box made me sound halfway decent. The other effects such as echo, doubling, slight auto-tune was the icing on the cake.

    Build is very sturdy, heavy-duty. The only minor gripe I have with this unit is the lack of a ON/OFF button, but it’s small inconvenience compared to the great sounds you can get.

    Here’s a sample of a recording I laid down using an MP 3 Karaoke track and a Tascam DP-008 multi-track , ALL the vocals were of me (settings: verses=echo, chorus=harmony high + low.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9c1xH2z7iM

    In conclusion, I would highly recommend this vocal processor.

    • Hiya Rider,

      Aren’t you lovely to have taken the time to share this wonderful recording, feedback (and suggestion!). i thoroughly enjoyed laying my ears on it and feel priveledged to have had the chance to hear what you’re doing with your Harmony-G XT musically. It’s messages like this that makes going that extra mile worth it.

      Thanks for sharing your experience and journey here with us – I look forward to hearing what your musical future holds with your TC-Helicon… Do come back and say hello again won’t you!

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  14. I really love and enjoy using my harmony G-XT with an acoustic 12 string guitar which I have had for a year now.. many options to choose. I have the G-XT box running through to a TC Helicon VSM-300XT which is Voicesolo XT personal monitor that is hooked onto the same stand as my microphone. Using the input / output box that comes with the monitor…you can easily run out an XLR cord into your mixer and of course through your speakers.
    This way I can keep tabs on the sound quality feedback and make the adjustments as appropriate during my gigs. I highly recommend a monitor so you can begin to appreciate the crisp harmony sounds that can be clearly heard. Generally, I use the guitar to play rock or rock & roll music…. but I also love to play Hawaiian / Island tunes which I can switch and play my Kala Ukulele through the Harmony G-XT. That alone is a
    great option!

    • Hiya Luman,

      Thanks so much for sharing. Really great to hear that you’re enjoying your Harmony-G XT :) .

  15. Hi,

    I’m looking to buy the Harmony G XT. It’s an awesome product!!!

    I play a lot in church and worship situations where I need to pause and talk or talk while plucking the guitar. I’m wondering how effective is the by-pass so that it nullifies all the effects when I talk? I’ve checked the review videos online and seem a bit concerned about it.

    I also use a acoustic guitar pedal Zoom G2.1u. In the flow which comes first, the guitar pedal then GXT or GXT then guitar pedal?

    Thanks for taking your time out!

    Regards,
    Sandeep

    • Hiya Sandeep,

      You can either bypass just the doubling and harmony effects on the voice or all effects (including reverb etc). In either case, the bypass is completely effective.

      Tapping the on/off footswitch engages or disengages the doubling and harmony effects in the current preset. The reverb and delay FX will remain active on your voice even with the harmonies muted. Holding this footswitch enters Tuner/Bypass mode for silent guitar tuning and bypassing of all processing except for Tone.

      I would suggest running the guitar into the Harmony-G XT first and then out of the “Thru” to your effects unit.

      Hope this helps!

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  16. Hello Joey…
    I did not understand one thing, which I think, it would be one of the main questions…
    We have an input for the mic. , an input for the acoustic guitar…but just 1 out put for both signals…so how can we tune our mic. and guitar on the mixer seperately??? Please help. ))

    • Hiya Bora,

      Here are a couple of options that could help…

      Firstly, you can simply adjust the volume of the guitar using the dedicated guitar volume knob on the unit. Alternatively, you can use the guitar thru on the Harmony-G XT. This will send the dry unaffected signal to a separate channel on your mixer (or guitar amp / effects unit) so you can mix it separately.

      Hope this helps!

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  17. hello there can you please tell me the difference between the harmony g vocal and the gxt is the harmony g the older version, if so is there any difference in quality sounding wise, plus what other options does it have please advise thanks plus where is the pedal made,and please confirm i do not need any other midi equipment to use with just the unit by itself thankyou kevin blackmore

    • Hiya Kevin,

      I’ve listed the new features off the product page for you below:

      New Features:

      A wealth of new features makes Harmony-G XT a better-sounding and easier-to-use vocal effect footpedal.

      Improved NaturalPlay guitar-controlled harmony algorithm
      Front-of-house quality reverb algorithm and selection of styles from VoiceLive 2
      Selection of four overdub-style doubling effects with two more doubling voices available
      Reworked FX presets offer even more utility across music styles
      USB connection for easy software updates, tips, and preset backup using the included VoiceSupport applet
      Adaptive harmony gate added to Tone for a cleaner mix
      Easy manual selection of Scale & Key for singers without an instrument or horn players

  18. Hi,

    Does the VoiceTone Harmony-G XT work as a guitar preamp/DI box as well? The specs say it is a mic preamp but don’t mention anything about it being a DI box or preamp for the guitar that plugs into it. Is it that as well? Is this the same thing as a mic preamp? I’m still learning the terminology.

    Thanks, Jonathan

    • Hiya Jonathan,

      Indeed, the Harmony-G XT does serve as a high quality preamp for guitar. It doesn’t however serve as a DI box.

      A DI box allows plugging an instrument into it and then having 2 outputs- one to a PA and another to a separate instrument amplifier. The Harmony G-XT does not have this dual output function. The guitar is output on either the “Inst. Thru” or mixed with the vocals on the XLR outputs. Plugging a cable into the thru jack automatically mutes the guitar from the XLR outputs.

      Yes, the Harmony-G XT does contain a vocal preamp – high quality again :) .

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  19. Hi, great product! I am using the tc helicon gxt going directly into my powered speakers.. I use an acoustic guitar and My friend wants to play a show with me.. can i use my mixer with the powered speakers so my friend can plug into my soundcraft mixer along with me and the gxt??

    • Hiya Nick,

      Yes, you can definitely use your Harmony-G XT through a mixer into your powered speakers. Simply connect your Harmony-G XT to a stereo channel on your mixer and then to your speakers from the main outputs. Your Friend can then connect to a seperate channel.

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  20. Question is…when playing in a LOUD live situation, and manually setting the scale, (strumming initial chord once, then selecting one of the 3 modes), will the g-xt become confused when mike “hears” what is coming out of the PA system?

    • Hiya Dave,

      As with any vocal harmony/effects unit it’s important to make sure your voice is the most dominant signal going through your microphone as that’s the signal it’s going to be affecting. Therefore, if you are performing at super loud volumes with guitar amps, foldback wedges, bass amps etc directly facing your mic… you’re possibly going to run into trouble. It is advisable to choose a mic with good rejection qualities for these scenarios… A cardioid or hypercardioid pick-up pattern is best. It might be worth considering TC-Helicon’s new MP-70 or MP-75 modern vocal performing microphones as these were designed to work best with our products and are excellent in this regard. And, think about your stage set-up in relation to what outside sound sources might cause significant spill. Also, singing into your mic with your lips touching is a good way to ensure your voice is the most prominent signal being fed into your microphone.

      It’s worth mentioning that we have many users and artists who are successfully using their TC-Helicon product in situations such as the one you mention (check out some of our artist stories like “Cynic” for example).

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  22. hi joey, as a singer, i’d like a simple “plug in the mike and sing” voice doubling pedal at a budget price. any ideas. thank you so much. jim

  23. Hello Joey,

    Will the Harmony G XT work correctly with a Bass Guitar, and if so are there any special considerations I need to take into account?

    Thank You in advance
    Bill

    • Hiya Bill,

      I have indeed heard from a few users who have had success using their bass guitar to trigger harmonies with the Harmony-G XT. I would suggest that you make sure you give the most important notes of the chords though (root, 3rd, 7th) and perhaps think about voicing quite openly (10th instead of 3rd etc).

      You also have the option of setting a key or scale which works brilliantly.

      I would advise you to try this out on a unit at a shop near you before purchasing to make sure you’re happy with the outcome.

      Hope that helps!

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  24. Hi Joey:

    I want to add a harmonizer to my arsenal. My keyboardist uses a Harmony G with wonderful results. However the signal to noise ratio is very low. Is this because he’s using a keyboard or is this typical? Is the S/N ratio on the G-XT any better?

    Thanks,
    Joey B.

    • Hiya Joey (great name by the way!),

      I’d say the issue your keyboardist is having is due to the fact that he is running from the output of his keyboard to the guitar input on the Harmony-G. I’m glad this working for you, however, the input on the VoiceTone Harmony-G is intended to work in conjunction with and has been specifically optimised for guitar.

      For use with a keyboard/MIDI, you really want to be using one of the following products which have MIDI specific options for creating harmony:-

      VoiceTone Harmony M, VoiceLive 2, VoiceLive Touch.

      Best wishes,

      Joey

  25. I am wondering is it possible to connect earphones in one of XLR out”s (for ear control)?

    • Hiya Brandza,

      Like most products of this type, the XLR outputs are at line level. Therefore they wouldn’t deliver enough power to drive a pair of headphones comfortably – a workaround could be a simple headphone amplifier or a wireless in ear system that would work correctly with your unit.

      Hope that helps! For further advice please don’t hesitate to contact TC-Helicon’s support team via:-

    Help!! I really need good hard tune, yet love the harmony gxt features. Is my best option to purchase both the C1 and the harmony GXT? Would greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks!

    • Hiya Jon,

      Yes, the C1 and the VoiceTone Harmony-G XT would make a great pair for what you’ve described you’re needing. You’d put the C1 first in the chain. The VoiceTone Harmony-G XT works in conjunction with a guitar.

      Here are some of TC-Helicon’s other products that also contain the hard-tune effect:-

      - VoiceTone Synth… This is the only TC-Helicon product which actually contains a vocoder and has great hard-tune features.

      - VoiceTone Create XT… Has one type of hard-tune and a whole host of great effects to polish off and add to your sound.

      - VoiceLive 2… Can control harmony via guitar/MIDI/any audio sound source (backing mp3 etc) and contains the hard-tune effect. The VoiceLive 2 remains the most editable of all of our products – so if you are the kind of vocalist that likes things “just right” for your specific voice, this is a no brainer.

      - VoiceLive Touch… Can control harmony via guitar/MIDI/any audio sound source and also has the hard-tune effect with great looping features to boot! This also contains lots of vocal effects like doubling, lush reverbs, special effects etc. The VoiceLive Touch is touch screen operated (mic stand mountable) as opposed to foot controlled & floor based.

      Hope that helps you out with knowing some of the options that are available to you!

    Can the G-XT be used for recording??? My concern would be the sound quality of the harmony parts.

    • Hiya Bob,

      The algorithms used to generate the harmonies in the VoiceTone Harmony-G XT are the same as the one’s used in the VoiceLive 2, so yes… you absolutely can.

  28. Hi Joey, again with another question. I want to know if the Harmony G XT, I can sing in Spanish and record other instruments. Thanks for answering my first question. Greetings and congratulations for your videos. (recently purchased the Harmony g xt)

    • Hiya manolo,

      Absolutely, you can sing in any language through your Harmony-G XT. You can certainly use your Harmony-G XT in the studio with your daw to record vocals, can you be more specific about what you are looking to do with regards to other instruments?

      Best wishes,

      Joey

      • So if I sing in Japanese, will the words match the movement of my lips?

      • Hiya,

        It doesn’t matter what words or language you sing, the Harmony-G XT (and any other TC-Helicon product that produces harmony) will make the same sounds you make the whole time :) .

        Best wishes,

        Joey

  29. hello Joey. I want to know if the harmony g xt only for a single tone, or I can play in any key. thanks for your reply

    • Hiya Manolo,

      Yes, you can play in any key – either by setting the key / scale manually or by using your guitar to generate information for the harmonies.

      Best wishes,

    Joey: I’m very interested in the Harmony G-XT, but I already have the Voicetone Correct Pedal. Do I need the Correct pedal at all with the XT? I love the Correct’s adaptive tone control, but I rarely touch the defaults — so the one-button tone of the XT will probably do just fine. Any other reason to keep the Correct in the loop? For that matter, should I keep the Correct and get an pre-XT Harmony G on closeout for $199? Thanks for any advice …

    • Hiya Ralphie,

      I would say that having the flexibility available in the Correct is very worthwhile. You can always turn the “Tone” control off on the Harmony-G XT and use the Correct pedal with the settings that suit you the best. If you feel you won’t touch it and will just use the defaults, then, I guess it makes sense to just have the Harmony-G XT on its own. It really comes down to personal choice!

      Hope that helps a little,

    I’m looking at purchasing vocal pedals, i want to be able to have reverb, harmonies and also add from time to time effects (such as megaphone etc)

    I was thinking of the HARMONY G XT for the harmonies and reverb, and the SYNTH for the megaphone / radio effects.

    could we also use the SYNTH and HARMONY in series for the vocalist, and also run the guitar in series through both pedals? what order should we use them in?

    • Hiya Alex, Yup, they can be used in series. Using Synth and GXT, I’d recommend mic>Synth>GXT with the guitar going through the same route.

    If a Keyboard player wanted to use the Harmony GXT, is that possible to allow the keyboard to dictate the harmonies through the Guitar IN and OUT. I know that the Manual mode would not work the same way as in the Harmony M, but other than that, is the MIDI connection that much better than sending a analog signal to the GXT for harmonies? …or are you planning on replicating the GXT features for a MXT?

    • Hiya John,

      Unfortunately I wouldn’t reccommended this as I couldn’t gaurantee the results (It may not work at all). The Harmony-G XT was designed to work with guitar. The best units to go for to work in conjuction with your keyboard/midi would be the Harmony-M or VoiceLive 2.

    Hi Guys!
    I got my Harmony-G XT a few days ago in Montreal (Quebec) at Steve’s Music store. It sounds just incredible, voices are great.

    Suggestion: ON & OFF control instead of unplugging the device. External battery pack to make the G-XT portable.

    Thanks to TC Helicon, job well done and Happy Holidays to everyone!

    Hey Joey. Could you give a general description of the 3 preset SFX? I have read the physical descriptions… but just curious, what do each “sound like”. Bit of a wierd question I know…. but if it’s at all possible to actually verbalize what they sound like that would be totally helpful. Thanks!!

    • Hiya Brian,

      You’re right, verbalising this is somewhat of a tricky task…..What I can say is the St’Josephs church is basically a Cathedral style huge reverb. The Delay is quite an intense multitap stereo image (I guess you have seen the spec) and the flanger with feedback is a little more way out there than a normal flanger. I reckon the best thing to do is get down to your local dealer when they have some in stock and have a play with one. I’ll pass on to the product guys that we should get a video done showing all these as soon as possible :) .

    Been checking! On the were to buy, for countries it is blank. Now they are taking some orders in Europe, but so far none in the united states. I have checked with your dealers ie… Musicians friend, Guitar center..etc…. but so far nothing.

    I’m sure that you are right, that they will be shipping soon. Just nobody seems to know when. All that I can get is “sometime in early Dec”

    • Hiya Thunder,

      Just to clarify, Harmony-G XT will be in the hands of users before Christmas in limited quantities. You should see it active on dealer sites really soon and you should be able to pick it up in store for around $249 US.

      Best Wishes,

    I am interested in the Harmony G-XT however where can you obtain one, and for how much?

    • Hiya Thunder,

      I believe they are shipping now, so they’re due to hit stores anytime now. You can link to the “where to buy” from the front page of the TC Helicon website. As for how much, you’ll need to check this with your local dealer.

      Best wishes,

    I and a friend purchased yesterday the “not-XT” version ,did’nt even know exist a new one and online was 40€ difference.I love it but eating nails seeing the new one..
    3 questions:
    1)Chassis looks the same ,
    But maybe distance between the inserts “out ” and “thru” is bigger in the new?
    We found annoying ,and the only serious issue ,that
    “in”-”thru” are too close and dont allow to plug-in the best jack-cables we have (and find in stores).You have to use a cheaper thinner one at least to fit 2 of them.
    For people spending good moneys on cables and so on ,that’s a litlle the flaw (not unreplaceable with a research but definetely not compatible with many “higher-end” jacks ) .

    2) Usb apart ,we would like to read about and listen to the differences between the XT and “old one”,for the engine part ather than the efx (like tracking or sound of the additional voices).

    3)Having already the Harmony -g ,i was intersted in the Voice live (first version) as i found a guy selling an Hamony control where we could plug guitar and using “correction and create” for homerecording :
    …!!Has “Voice- live 1″ the same Engine / Software generation ( Harmonies ,efx) of the pedals you still sell ?(not xt off course)!

    ——–
    ***
    Suggestion:

    for the XT IMO ,it would a lot useful to have the choice of an additional “hold chord/harmony ” function .
    Maybe ,rather than activating the guitar bypass ,
    pressing and holding the right switch (even if it would switch on the tuner ) could do that ,would be nice instead of the Guitar Bypass .

    We found that stopping playing and ending a song or whatever ,Pedal “G” (not XT) can get confused and destroys the execution right there on a live,during record instead you can simply lower the volume so the pedal dont get confused.

    Or under the form of an additional function which would keep both options :for example switchable-on when one keeps pressing “voice2 ” (at the place of the useless demo),
    which would change the “behavior” of the right switch When is pressed and in “Hold”.

    It would be the final touch to the Jewel.
    Perhaps it would be possible through a USb update? (assuming its like “freezing a midi message” or simply the pedal not “reading ” anymore guitar as far as the footswitch is pressed ).**
    ______-________

    Crtitics (hope constructive) apart ,
    i’m stunned.
    it’s a magic ,your company is simply the best for that ,i have not the smallest doubt about it.Many friends of mine are taking a pedal after listening to mine.

    Forgive if i took something wrong about the pedal details.
    Regards
    Alex

    • Hiya alex,

      Thanks for getting in touch! The chassis are definitely the same in both units. For your reference I have placed a list below of the differences between Harmony-G and the new XT version. Hope this helps:-

      New Features in VoiceTone Harmony-G XT
      A wealth of new features make Harmony-G XT a better-sounding and easier-to-use vocal effect foot-pedal:
      • Improved NaturalPlay guitar-controlled harmony algorithm
      • Front-of-house quality reverb algorithm and selection of styles from VoiceLive 2
      • Selection of four overdub-style doubling effects with two more doubling voices available
      • Reworked FX presets offer even more utility across music styles
      • USB connection for easy software updates, tips, and preset backup using the included VoiceSupport applet
      • Adaptive harmony gate added to Tone for a cleaner mix
      • Easy manual selection of Scale & Key for singers without an instrument or horn players

      Standard Features
      Some of the features that made the original Harmony-G such a success
      • Listens to guitar and voice to create correct harmony parts automatically
      • Tone switch smoothes vocals with adaptive Live Engineer Effects
      • 18 combinations of reverb, delay and µmod shared by vocal and guitar input
      • 10 presets available, each with A/B options
      • Harmony interval selection includes 3rds and 5ths above and below, octave up and down, and the unique Bass interval
      • Stereo or mono configurable output
      • Clean, studio-quality mic preamp with phantom power and XLR input
      • Guitar signal can be mixed in and share reverb or passed through to separate amplifier
      • Fast, accurate guitar tuner

      There’s also a video I found today where someone goes through some of the differences between the Harmony-G and the Harmony-G XT:-

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zkyvpzaOnI

      The VoiceLive 1 does have the same technology inside it as the other pedals we make with the exception of the Harmony-G XT, VoiceLive 2 and also the VoiceTone Synth.

      Thanks for the wonderfully detailed feedback and ideas, we’re always working on ways to better our products and your thoughts are very valuable to us! However, the best place to post suggestions/ideas so that the right people see them is at our website:-

    Hi,

    I really liked the Hall reverb Laura is showing off. I wonder if I can get the same results with my Voice Live 2, cause I haven’t been able to reproduce a reverb like that.

    Thanks.

    • Hiya Cris,

      The Hall reverbs in the Harmony-G XT are the same as the following from VL2:

      1 = Broadway Hall
      2 = Smooth Plate
      3 = Hockey Arena

      I’m pretty sure Hall 1 is used in Laura’s “Pray” song in the video. The FX knob sounds like it was turned up pretty high to get the reverb density.

      Give this a try and let me know how you get on. Give me a shout again if you need more help :) .

      Best wishes,

      Joey

    None of the retailers have the Harmony-G XT yet. When will it be available for purchase?

    • Hiya Jeff,

      The first units will be shipping from TC-Helicon warehouses to dealers at the end of November. At this stage we expect to see them in stores and online in the first couple of weeks of December.

      Best wishes,

      Joey
