I dont mean to be a total ass but the fact that you constantly plug and unplug your equipment with teh channel live has me feeling quite sorry for your equipment as that is bad for it...

Dude...you are either old, or you are listening to someone who is old! Yes, in the sixties you had to be careful plugging and unplugging live equipment. Now fast forward 50 years to 2008... there is so much protection built into our modern gear, I couldn't hurt it if I did that 500 times every day for a year! But thanks for trying to help... and you are NOT a total ass.

The same problem I had with TC Voice Live Touch. Terrible noise with no input. I set AUX level to -20dB and everything worked fine then.

This digitech Vocal 300 seems to have a truck full of useless sounds and loads of extraneous noise and the Helicon products are far more focused and quite clearly of a superior build quality. I am getting the Voicetone Create XT for Xmas and I am glad I didn't go for the Digitech!!!

Hi I bought the digitech here in Italy and playing with my band I had a lot of problems. I sold it and now I will buy a TC

Thank you jswest for you effort in demonstrating the difference between these two machine. I was debating between these two Models before I made up my mind as to which one is more EFFICIENT than the other. You have helped me with my evaluation. Great guy. Thanks.

and by the way thanks for making the film/demo - ive being going crazy trying getting the noice away - frustrating

[Inatfromdenmark]

I bought the Digitech because of the pedal (love the fact that you can sign the reverb to it and take it on/of in levels) - does any body know of a voice box that can do the same (with out the noice and hess) or is it easy to /sound good to use the button on TC to take effect on of even if it was in a sentence/middle of a line/singing - hope to hear from any body

If you use a direct box, you eliminate some of the noise
