Tone correct pedal

Ive been practicing my vocals more and more to become more invovled with our band. I dont sound bad but I was thinking of getting a tone correct pedal to help me out until I become consistent in my singing. what is a good pedal and do they have some for multiple singers. i've read a lot of debate about using them but I want to provide the best show I can.
 
The TC Helicon is the one that I like the most,I tried the DigiTech Vocalist Live 3 and did not like it at all.Not sure if you know that they are only pitch correction not note correction,they work like a tuner and round you up or down to the nearest note so if you get off to much it will get ugly quickly.

I am happy with the TC unit it seems to do a good job and can be pretty transparent.
True...i understand that. And thats kind a of what I need right now. from your experience does it do it a job well or are there better ones for the job?

Well when us weekend warriors can reach your professional status then we can go without :rollno:
Actually I have heard that alot of professionals use them for live situations.Im sure that they are much more expensive though.
You know what I've found works well?

Practicing until you can find a note.

IMO, if you always use a crutch then you will never outgrow your need for it. I used to use "cheat sheets" on stage and would go into a near panic at the thought of working without them. Then I left them in my other case for a gig and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I haven't used them since.
 
I hear you and its funny what you don't even know that your capable until put in that situation but the nice thing about these is you can run one line corrected and one straight so you can set your monitor to non corrected.
I honestly forget that it is on most of the time or I will forget to turn it on but like I said it's not like these can correct by much of a margin its just seems to help out while you are venturing into using the mic that is in front of you.
