• Almost perfect

  
  As reviewed by Rick on 8/21/2011

  The H1 sounds great and I am glad I purchased it. A few tweeks and it would be perfect. If it had a footswitch you could push and play a note to set the key a bass could set the key without turning a knob everytime. The footswitch should be normally off and add the harmony only when pushed then off when you take your foot off. The angle of the footswitch allows your foot to turn the knobs when you activate the switch (which you have to do once for on and then again for off). Good solid unit but you have to keep an eye on it!

• Harmony/A - Engineering/C+

  
  As reviewed by Marz on 8/15/2011

  Easy to use, quality sounds and the unit looks like it can take a beating. I would have preferred that the red "on" light be positioned above the dials. This pedal is used differently than a normal guitar pedal. During a song you might be switching from single voice to harmony many times just during a chorus. Where the red light is positioned, your foot ends up covering the light, and you don't know if the harmony is engaged or not. Also, would have preferred to have a more comfortable angle of the on/off button. Clumsy when used often. But...I think it's worth the purchase.

• Good Things in Small Packages

  
  As reviewed by David Canady on 8/9/2011

  Being a solo acoustic guitar act, I?ve always thrown a little delay and reverb on my vocals. I?ve looked at harmonizers and even tried a few of the inexpensive ones. I concluded that you need to spend $400+ to get a gig quality product?..Wrong! The H1 produces quality harmonies at a very good price. What they did to keep the price down was to limit the options to 2 voices and only 3rds and 5ths. This limitation also is one of its? strong points. The H1 is simple to use right out of the box. Do you want harmonies above, below, or both? Turn the center dial and play. How much of the harmony do you want to show through? Turn the right knob and play. If you are a guitar player, that?s all the setup you?ll ever need. For you vocal only people, you will need to tell it what key you?re in by setting the left knob. What kind of harmonies? country, 50?s, darker alternative rock, church, folk. The 7th is not available so you won?t get a perfect tone for songs like Johnny B Goode or Your Momma Don?t Dance. However, if you like the warm harmonies of the Eagles, Beatles, or Everly Brothers this is for you. It?s housed in a sturdy metal box. One minor issue is it only runs on 12 volts from a wall wart. Many pedal boards are set up for common 9 volts Another issue will be harmony selection changes between songs. If it?s being used as a pedal, the change knobs are also sitting on the ground. If you set it up so it can be reached between songs, you can?t use your foot to turn it on and off. I may need to order my gig song selections to limit the number of changes. Value 5 Stars, Quality 5 Stars, Features 4 Stars?? I showed mine to friend. He now has one.
