[creativejams]

hey what that sounds amazing- what is the riff you are playing- can we have tab?

[1mom2james]

Hello, would it sound good without those equipments you plugged it in?

What kind of mixer do I need and also what's a good Amp?

Thank you so much.

[easymusiccenter]

@1mom2james I'm not sure by what you mean if it would sound as good...What kind of mixer do you need? What are you looking to do? What kind of amp? Do you mean a PA amp? What are you looking to do?

[mrslashjr666]

hey...does any one know if you can use a bass guitar with the digitech vocalist?......anyone got any videos of that???...anyone???..cheers...­.\m/

[deluxreverb]

Too much time plugging in. Dude needs to sing loud so we can hear good. Other then that good entertainment.

[jicksawkiller01]

I don't know if i really understood... so if I sing wrong it will sound right? :D

[FuelfortheFireMusic]

hey

with the vocalist 4 do you need to have a mixing desk or can u go straight into an amp

[bkpenta]

Can you plug in an effects pedal for effects like distortion etc or does that throw it off?

[easymusiccenter]

you would put effects AFTER the vocalist then into your amp:

guitar -> vocalist -> distortion/pedals/effects -> amp

[easymusiccenter]

Hey everyone,

The Vocalist 2 needs some sort of instrument plugged into it to determine what chord to play. It can't be a recording, usually because the drums or many instruments can throw off it's MusicIQ detection. The Vocalist 4 and newest VL3D allows you to set a key, but that setting doesn't change with the type of chords you play. Come in to our store to learn more and see all the models. Thanks!

Will this work without using a guitar? Will it work with only a vocalist singing into the unit?

[gentri80y]

I am not much in guitar. Is it also following music background (like karaoke music) chords? as replacement for guitar? I saw it has Line In so I think I can plug my player there.

[xpalacios]

Hey guys! i was wondering something.. is there a way to use the Vocalist without a guitar??.. Is it able to just modulate and create the harmonies without any instrument?

[Ayowta]

it needs something to recognize what keys your playing in and switching into during your song, the point of the machine is that the instrument does the work for you, without you having to create any presets and have a vast knowledge of theory

[TeleTubeee]

Great demo, Allen! Your personality come through loud and clear, too.

Good teacher. Thanks for the lesson.

Two questions: 1) I switch often between acoustic guitar and electric. How many guitar line ins?

2) I keep one of my guitars tuned down a half note. If I played a whole song in Eb but the guitar is in tune, no probs right?

Thank you.

[easymusiccenter]

Hey Jonathan... no it will not alter the sound of the guitar. Its simply a thru jack. The Vocalizer just uses the guitar signal to make the harmonies.

[jhuggins27]

is it possible to run my guitar through an x3 live guitar effects pedal then through the vocal processor, without losing quality on either

[easymusiccenter]

yes you always want to run your guitar through the digitech pedal FIRST... then from the "thru" cable coming out of your digitech you can run anything you like :) - Allen

[jhuggins27]

will that alter the guitar sound before it gets the the processor

thanks Jonathan

[toyotamancars]

will this work okay with a 12 string guitar?

[easymusiccenter]

Yes it sure will =)  -Allen

[sherwoodamp]

Please ,i wana buy this vocalist,but i am keybord player,does this thing can works without guitar?

[easymusiccenter]

Yes! It works with Keyboards as well. Look for Allen, (guy in the Demo) he can show you the hook up and has ran the unit through keyboards before.

[easymusiccenter]

Yes you can use guitar effects... simply connect the effects after the guitar thru. Aloha!

[LXSkins]

if you use the digitech vocalist does that mean you cant use a guitar effects pedal at the same time? can someone answere this!!

[KEROUPE]

What's the man doin' with the guitar, it's already tuned!

[easymusiccenter]

The guitar might have been already tuned, but it is crucial for the guitar to be tuned exactly to concert pitch 440.  The harmonies work of that... guitar slightly off = harmonies slightly off. Aloha!

[Rockeroviejo]

Great vid, and the DV live2, man, what a piece of tech!

[accordv6er]

whoa... that is SWEET

[cast390]

Nice vid but as with EVERY demo I see of this the vocals and HARMONIES are NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!!!

[easymusiccenter]

We've noticed that when too loud, they can sound 'fake.'

Perhaps for this demo though we should have turned them louder.

[JoeKillerMiller]

So uhhh

how do you use distortion?

[easymusiccenter]

In the video we plug a guitar into the Vocalist, then a cable out to the PA system. For distortion, just take the cable coming out of the Vocalist and plug it into your pedal, or amp or whatever you normally use. This is known as a "Thru" signal.

[JoeKillerMiller]

O ok

thanks Guys!

keep it up Allen!

[jpsguitarguy]

isn't allen and brian from first verse? love their music.

[easymusiccenter]

They sure are. Thanks!

[chewingum]

Ok. Thanks for the reply!

[chewingum]

Does it also work without a guitar plugged in?

[easymusiccenter]

the main feature of these new "vocalist" units is that it gets its harmony data from the guitar (or other instrument) that is plugged in to it. therefore, the vocalist 2 will not work unless there is an instrument plugged in to tell it what chord to harmonize with.

i believe on the vocalist 4, you can put it in "key mode" where it lets you select a key, and it will try to harmonize the notes in the major scale, but again, these units are meant to have an instrument plugged in.

[weedmanus]

Just got one...Super EASY to use!! Sounds good but really "country" sounding!! Good video demo Allen!!

[panuelo87]

good shit
