Open Box DigiTech Vocalist Live 3 Vocal Harmony Processor Pedal Level 1

First, if you cant sing, this will not fix your voice. It is not just plug and play, you will need to tweek it and adjust to it. I use mine for vocal arrangements on my the songs I write mostly. I love it and really like the tone it gives my Gibson. Nice to be able to have one line out to my GenzBenz Compac300. I really havent found anything about this unit I dont like. I understand it is a processor, but it is good at getting harmonies that are very usable.

I owned this unit for 5 months and handled it gently. Then it just stopped outputting. Digitech is slow to send parts to my local repair shop, so I've been without it over a month. If you buy this unit, go ahead and spend the extra money for an easy exchange warranty program. Good luck!

Love this pedal!!! I love to sing harmony, but this pedal can reach high harmonies that have to be heard to be believed. The only complaint I have is that the harmony pedal doesn't lock down sometimes and I have to hold it down.

I'm still on the front-end of the learning curve, but already pleasantly surprised that I can play crunchy electric guitar through the device without distorting my vocals (at least any worse than normal). It could be more intuitive; selecting harmony variations is still a trial and error exercise, but I'm catching on and having fun in the process. The manufacturer should consider replacing the manual with a video. Perhaps there is a YouTube demo up on the web. The product works as promised.

I bought the Vocalist Live 3 recently after having my Vocalist Live 2 stolen along with my cargo van and half of my musical equiptment. The Live 2 had plastic pedals, one of which was broken but still functioned enough to use. The Live 3 has metal switches which I beleive is a definate upgrade. I perform mainly as a single and was using it with one extra part, the third. I've recently started using it for three parts and it sounds great. People comment on how good the harmonies are. I'm finding myself working up more vocal group numbers now. If you have a band and can't get good harmonies out of the other people in the group, this thing does the job. I would much rather use this than have somebody who may be a good musician but cannot sing...messing up the overall sound just (trying) to sing parts. Also two good vocalists can sound even better with one doing all the backup parts. I haven't used all of the functions like pitch correction, etc. Now that I have had a vocal group by myself...I would not want to go back to just doing boring one part vocals. I also like that it's live...and not pre-recorded stuff. I play guitar, harmonica, bass pedals and sing. The Vocalist Live 3 adds yet another dimension to my "live" one man group.

Before I bought this two weeks ago, I tried it out at a friend's home. I play rhythm guitar and sing lead vocal, accompanied by a lead guitarist, at assisted living facilities, so I am not a professional musician. I had some initial difficulty hooking things up because the manual's diagram got me confused, but my friend helped me hook it up. I have had lots of fun playing songs with my newly found backup vocalists. For whatever reason, Beatles tunes seem to work very well. I still need time to get used to all of the settings. Initially, I had trouble hearing the vocals over my heavy strumming, but a little adjustment to the settings fixed that. Now, my biggest problem is that my tiny basement room has wires all over the floor because it doesn't pay to keep taking down and setting up the mic, amp and harmonizer. I havent tried this in a live setting yet and I believe that it will take some getting used to before I try it out on an audience. This is the first experience I have had with a foot pedal, but after about 15 minutes, I found myself getting into a rhythm and developing better timing, knowing when to step on the button in order to engage the backup vocals at the right moment in the song that I was playing. Remember to wear footwear when you use this unit..Im used to playing in my socks at home and the button would sometimes go between my toes! (Told you that I'm not a pro!) The harmonizer seems to work really well and you can set male and/or female backing vocals. You can also set the range of the backup vocals..ie higher, lower or double your vocal. There are also other effects for your guitar that I have yet to discover, but look forward to trying out. Overall, I am very satisfied with this unit so far. The big question will be whether I get enough confidence to use it in front of an audience or whether it stays a novelty item to be used when I jam in my basement. I think that I will eventually become good enough to use it in front of an audience and I think it will make a big difference. At the same time, if you arent a singer, I dont know that this will suddenly turn you into one. However, at the same time, if you can at least carry a tune like I can, it may give you more confidence to sing and it will definitely add to your performance. While the unit isn't exactly cheap, I believe that it is worth it if you are a solo vocalist/performer who performs in smaller settings. I am unsure how it would work in a band setting with multiple instruments.
