Best With electric Guitar: Tchelicon Vocal Effects Processor

Buy on Amazon

Best part: tchelicon vocal effects processor costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. Using it in live worship services during this pandemic (no choir) is a game-changer. The Perform-VK requires all 5 pins to be connected. The pitch button provides a helping hand by pushing you to the nearest half-note with subtle pitch-correction. If you like to get more complex vocal output, midi note driven harmony is also available with direct control of up to 8 simultaneous harmony voices. The pitch correction is well-mannered and not glitchy.

The VK will (primarily) "listen" to midi events from your keyboard and intuitively generate believable real-time harmonies, adding them to your live vocal performance. There is a way of muting the 1/8” TRS input (say you have a click track or backing track from the PA sent to your 1/8 jack) so you would just get the vocals from the 1/4” output to your PA.

Why We Like This:

Effects and harmonies are great on this
Pretty easy to understand and works well live or in studio
Simple to use and great sound
One daw mode where you can manipulate each harmony individually

Best For autotune: Tchelicon ultimate Vocal Processor

Buy on Amazon

Best part: tchelicon ultimate vocal processor costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. A completely new reverb algorithm envelops your voice in dense ambiences from teeny live rooms to concert halls and bright plate simulations. It starts with a guitar, midi keyboard or aux-input controlled vocal harmony algorithm with four intervals, each of which can be unison-doubled or 8 discrete voices controlled by your midi keyboard playing. The tuner for the guitar automatically bypasses the effects to give you a dry sound when you speak and it silences the guitar while you tune.

The harmonies sound great, and very realistic. The harmonies are great and have some programming to allow it to automatically tune your choir, or if you know what key your in and what scale your following, you can set it prior which is super helpful to live set ups. It is perfect for a solo guitar/singer playing small to medium sized venues.

Why We Like This:

Built well, sounds great, you will love the pitch correction
Very sturdily built and intuitive to use
Clear and large dials and easy to use
Tone tailors adaptive eq, compression and de-ess to your voice
