A Pedal Designed for the Singer-Guitarist: Vocal Harmony Made Easy
Harmony Singer 2 is aimed at those who have spent time working on their guitar sound... and who finally want to give their voice rack-quality processing, without menus or programming. The idea is simple: you play your chords, the pedal analyzes the accompaniment and generates coherent virtual backing vocals, while adding musical reverb and ready-to-use "studio" processing.
For Which Musicians and Contexts?
Ideal for solo, duo, and small ensembles, this vocal effects pedal suits both amateurs and pros who want immediate results. In pop, folk, country, rock, or variety music, it helps thicken a chorus, strengthen a backing vocal line, or secure a live performance. On stage, it integrates easily into a pedalboard; in the home studio, it provides a more controlled and clear voice without stacking plugins.
Key Features: Guitar-Guided Harmonies, Reverb, and Mic Control
The core of the pedal is harmony generation: one to two voices automatically lock onto chords received via the instrument input and output in parallel through the "thru" output, convenient for keeping your guitar chain intact. On the vocal side, the XLR mic input feeds the processing, while the mono XLR output sends a mix-ready signal. The Mic Control function also allows controlling certain actions directly from compatible microphones (Sennheiser e835 FX or TC-Helicon MP-75), very handy when singing with your hands busy.
Sound Character
The sound is designed for the stage: a cleaner lead vocal thanks to Adaptive Tone (less proximity effect, better dynamic control, better sibilance management), and harmonies with a natural character when the level is finely adjusted. The reverb, calibrated for vocals, adds spaciousness without masking articulation, helping to keep the voice intelligible in a busy mix.
