Bassists Who Sing, Check This Out

I think this is one of those effects units that the sound quality of the unit is largely related to how much it costs. Sure, the unit can create harmonies and is relatively inexpensive. That's a good thing. On the downside, trying to create or mimic great and natural harmonies in real time that occur between two or more good singers is going to be very difficult to do well. It's kinda like why there's a market for digital pianos. Nobody's yet come up with the "perfect" digital replication, and all the makers are still chasing that elusive sound, and have been claiming (for years) that they've achieved it with whatever new top-of-the-line keyboard they've come up with at that particular time. But still, it's good to try to make the "perfect" vocal unit or digital piano.
 
I got it from musician friend. I called to make sure they had it in stock.

Used it last night at rehearsal, mainly the double and triple effect. Worked well and really filled out the choruses.

I didn't buy it for the auto tune - I prefer that my pitch problems not be covered up. ;)

I won't be using that effect.
 
I think you'll dig it, if you use it to enhance, not to be the focal point.

You'll need to play with the parameters, especially the reverb that they have maxed out on every effect. When you lower that, they sound much better.

I also play harmonica and they have a harmonica effect which is just distortion and reverb/delay. I used to use another mic and run it through another effects pedal, now I can just use this and bring less things to my gigs.

I was goofing around with it last night and they have a robot effect, I told the drummer that every time I talk to the crowd I was going to use that. We were cracking up.
