    one thing I have noticed is you have to sing on tune, and cannot float from one harmony to the other or it won’t track that well. You have to sing your part right, and do it immediately. It’s not a perfect unit so it takes some discipline to get it to sound right. The better and more precise you play/sing, the better it will sound. It’s not a forgiving unit but it’s still not something I want to take off my board either.

    I have mine plugged directly into my Voodoo PP2+ power supply with a barrel connector. Seems to work just fine. So I’ve had this for almost a year and am happy with it, still works, nothing quirky going on. I have found myself only using the hi harmony mode with harmony on the highest setting. We have 3 singers in the band (and I’m not the lead) and the high harmony seems to be the one mostly lacking, so this helps out. I keep gender and blend 50-50, with just a touch of reverb. I guess I’m not a very exciting user, but it does what I need it to do. And I’m not a great singer either (a reasonably good one), but a few weeks ago at a gig someone told a friend of mine that “every time that guitar player sang the band sounded incredible because he had such a unique voice” – swore I should sing more. I wonder if he heard the Voicebox and was thinking I’m something I’m not. Who cares as long as it sounds good.

    I think what it has done is make me a more precise singer. If you’re on your note, it follows pretty well. If you’re off a tad, so is the Voicebox and things can sound pretty unpleasant. And either it follows the guitar chords extremely well, or it just adds harmonies well. I swear I can miss a chord completely and it still creates the harmony I’m looking for. It is still a little “robotic” sounding though, don’t expect it to sound like another genetically perfect human being, but when behind that regular human voice the “roboticness” is not very discernable during a song. Just talking though, you can pick up on the “roboticness” but that’s not something you’d ever do anyway. Not a box to have on all of the time, but nice for a number of songs in a set.
