“You may not have to rely on the ‘pitch-challenged’ bassist and drummer ever again…”.

The latest addition to the Digitech Vocalist Live range of harmonisers is reviewed in the new issue of Guitarist magazine.  The Vocalist Live 3 Desktop receives a 4.5 out 5 Guitarist rating and is awarded the magazine's ‘Choice’ award for highly recommended buys.

The VL3D offers 3-part harmonies using DigiTech’s exclusive MusIQ™ Technology, which analyses the singer’s voice and adds the most musically correct harmonies while offering real-time pitch correction and gender control. Featuring single-level programmability and five user defined voicing patches; the VL3D can be programmed on the fly without missing a note.  The VL3D can also be used with keyboards as well as guitars.

“Plug a mic into the back for singing, plug in your guitar and connect a lead from the guitar thru socket to your amp, tune the guitar using the onboard tuner then choose the vocal sound and harmony voices that you want – setting up is that simple.  All that’s left to do is sing while playing rhythm guitar into the VL3D and you’ll find yourself musically valid harmonies that sympathetically follow the song’s structure for an instantly bigger sound”.

“Soundwise, all of the effects that can be applied to the main vocal work well – the compressor in particular giving it real presence to cut through the a mix…the effect can be quite stunning”. 

“If you’re a musician who sings and plays guitar and you want to bolster your sound with some extra voices, the VL3D will do the job nicely”.
