I just got my EH Voice box,
while its a groovy piece of kit there is one thing that makes no sense… the reverb for my own “live” voice is only “on” in the harmony mode.
didnt EH think this is a little jarring performance wise? it would be more natural toset up the ambient for both the settings with and without harmonys, its a shame as its the one thing that stops me lovin this pedal.
any pedal hacks out there who can find a way to get it so the byepassed vocal still goes through the reverb?

August 17, 2009 at 3:06 pm #100659phillwilsonMemberhi there,
thanks for your idea, i should have elaborated, that is kind of what i am having to do now and have every other setting set to off so i can use the presets button to stomp through them, but obviously this costs me half of the settings available.
i sing solo and play guitar (As i imaging a lot who use this pedal will, obviously manipulating the wet/dry mix during performance wouldnt work as i couldnt play at the same time)
shame but frustrating
I alos own the Harmony G , in this pedal the reverb is set globally which makes more sense as ambience for vocals would tend to be something you want to set and then use for the whole performance rather then have it just applied when there are harmonys
thanks anyway
August 17, 2009 at 3:09 pm #100660B.DawsParticipantYou have confused me yet again. Just set one of the ones you don’t use to be full dry signal with whatever reverb you like. You wouldn’t lose half, only one! There has to be one you don’t use! How do you get them to work? Other than the vocoder and unison the harmonies on mine flat out suck. I sing and play chords and nothing happens most of the time!

im one of those people who always wants to use stuff not ow its intended…think i have just been led into luxury by the TC harmony G,
if Im playing a song that has me on my own for the verses and harmony on the choruses…i dont at any point have a spare “empty” bar or time to punch through all the settings to go right round in a circle from my “reverb only” to my “harmony on” options…
im just really supprised EH didnt think of this, surely the solo singer on verses then harmony on choruses is like a complete standard…if you used this for a whole song all the way through with harmony on i think you would end up sounding a bit boring.
on the other hand the cut out from the harmonys and reverb so just plain dry is really noticable
i know i could add a reverd unit after but pedal space it at a premium.
shame this one little thing has stopped this been a 100% winner..all they had to do was leace the “dry revrerb” activa s an option even in bypass..how hard would that be !?!?
in relation to your question, i find that to hear a “50/50” mix of my voice and harmony I actually need to be at about 1 oclock on the mix dial so its leaning a bit towards the harmonies
also i find that you have to be “out and proud” about your vox..it you are self concious and feeding it a limp signal it goes all over but if i belt it out like i mean it, the tracking holds well…
if you think of trad guitar octavers this is exactly what they did…the initial signal would track fine, then as the note decayed they would begin to wobble.
also i am setting the voices with more reverb and lowering my own vocal as i find i sit better in the mix and it helps me auto tune to myself
good luck
