collapse expand iconDescription

The TC Helicon VoiceTone Single X1 vocal effect pedal brings modern flair to your vocals with megaphone and distortion effects. Designed for singers and spoken word artists, the compact VoiceTone X1 provides down and dirty sound in a stompbox you can use on stage or in the studio. With the VoiceTone X1, you can easily add tinny megaphone and sharp distortion effects to customize your vocal tone.

Modern Megaphone and Distortion Effects

The VoiceTone Single X1 intensifies your sound with its wide range of filtered and distorted presets. Load up the megaphone or telephone effects to punctuate words and phrases with vintage tone. The distortion effects bring grit and edge to your voice for songs that need a rougher sound. The Drive and Filter controls let you fine-tune the amount of distortion and EQ for the right tone. Bring new life to your vocals by kicking the effect on and off with the footswitch.

Portable Vocal Effects

With the VoiceTone Single X1, getting studio-quality vocal effects is as simple as plugging in your microphone. The compact die-cast metal chassis packs professional sound processing into a durable pedalboard-ready stompbox. The clean mic preamp rivals high-end mixers for pristine tone. Just plug in your mic, dial in your sound and control the effect with your foot—no manual required.

Integrates Seamlessly With Other Pedals

The VoiceTone Single X1 shares processing power with TC Helicon's other VoiceTone pedals. Chain multiple VoiceTone singles together to build a customized vocal effects rig. The revolutionary Mic Control feature lets you turn the X1's effect on and off remotely using the MP-75 microphone. You can control each pedal independently for more freedom on stage. The balanced XLR input and roadworthy design ensures the X1 sounds great whether performing live or tracking in the studio.

  • This Pedal is Unusable

    This pedal is garbage. The pedal only emits an insane amount of feedback no matter how it is adjusted, or what mic you use or the mix. I have used countless pedals for guitar and vocals and this one should have never been produced. Even if you get 2 seconds to say a few words in the mic before it starts shattering glass and your face, it has a terrible delay and you have to scream into the mic to get it to even translate. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR EARDRUMS...

    I use this box for live performances and the quality is great, the only draw back is the sound man has to lower the overall volume or it feeds back. Not sure how to fix this.

    I'm a lead singer and was looking into adding some depth to our live performances. I thought this would be great - just to turn it on when needed and turn it off when I don't. I should have read more of the reviews before purchasing because it is FEEDBACK galore. I was so excited to finally use it live and the engineer said to turn it to 0 and then when we test it, just keep turning it until it gives feedback. Well, I turned I BARELY turned it and it started going crazy. This product is unusable. If I can give it a 0, I would because you simply can't use it. I ended up returning it and putting the money down for a BOSS VE-20. More effects than I would be looking forward but it's AMAZING!

  • Ok for Recording, Unusable for Live Performance

    I use a lot of raw and distorted vocals in my studio recordings. I bought this pedal with the intention of bringing those same qualities to a live performance. The pedal itself makes the effects perfectly. No problems there. If you are using this pedal strictly for recording purposes, it is definitely a fine product. But, if you have any intention of using it live, it is a feedback machine. This pedal is incapable of producing sound without creating an insane amount of feedback. The only way to eliminate the feedback is with an extremely low volume setting, in which case, the pedal becomes pretty obsolete in live scenarios, especially with anything beyond an acoustic guitar in the mix. I use all of TC Helicon pedals for live performances, and they're great. This is the only one I've had an issue with, and the issue is something that cannot be remedied. This pedal can only be used for recording purposes, in which case, you are better off with a clean signal straight from the mic and adding effects in post for highest quality, and because of this I have had difficulty finding use for this pedal at all. That is why it has received 1 star. I am still waiting for someone to create this effect so it can be used live and at high volumes. A real megaphone to mic scenario is the best solution I've found yet.
