Smarter than your average harmony pedal.

The DigiTech Vocalist Live 2 Harmony Processor uses breakthrough musIQ technology to directly analyze the output of any electric or pre-amplified acoustic guitar (no special MIDI guitars or hex-outputs needed). Then it generates the correct vocal harmony. For example, if you're singing an A over the chords that are generally found in the key of G, Vocalist will harmonize with a C. But, if you then play an A major, the Digitech Vocalist will shift to the C#...because like any good harmony singer, it listens to the guitar!

A surprising number of songs "fool" other harmony pedals because these songs just don't work with a single key/scale setting. In fact, any song that has the same note sung over two different chords (for example, a C sung in the melody over a C maj / F maj chord sequence) is going to confound conventional harmony pedals.

With musIQ, forget about the technology just sing and play! Skip complicated programming and having to analyze each song chord-by-chord; just 1. Plug in your microphone and guitar; 2. Pick a 3rd or 5th-above or below harmony preset; 3. Sing and play — when you want harmony, just step on the footswitch!

Patent-pending musIQ technology combines new Note Detection algorithms with state-of-the-art Harmony Generation. The Note Detection section analyzes complex guitar waveforms and determines which notes in each chord are critical to accurate harmony. This information is then fed to an advanced harmony engine that creates harmonies consistent with both the singer's melody and the underlying guitar accompaniment.

This totally new, musically-intelligent effects processor hybrid of traditional chordal and scalic harmony modes means that Vocalist Live musIQ harmonies stay true to not only the overall key and song scale, but also localized variations due to chords that aren't part of the global key. You've never heard anything like it!

Best Musical Investment I have made in 10 years

I recently purchased the Digitech Harmony Live 2 vocal processor. I was totally blown away by the sound and performance,5 minutes from the box to playing a song and when the harmony kicked in I just sat there going WOW this is unbelievable. I play with just me and a guitar and this unit is perfect for my setup. The vocal effects are excellent and the harmonies are so nice its scary. I recommend this product to anyone who wants studio quality vocals on stage and top of the line harmonies without the hassle of dealing with extra people.

I am a long time Digitech Vocalist user and have been using a rack mount midi triggered version since the late 90's. This Vocalist trigger by my guitar is much easier to use and sounds great. I don't recommend it for recording but for those live vocals while playing it is excellent. I actually have two of them. I work a partner who is a drummer/singer while I play guitar and we work with midi background tracks. We both have a vocalist. I take the output of the first Vocalist and run it to a second Vocalist. My mic is in one unit my partners is in another and it works fine. If you do two just don't get crazy and try both at the same time. One thing to remember is that you inversions on the guitar play a big role in telling the Vocalist what octave to put the harmony in. These things are awesome and work right out of the box.

very good product

I just used this at band practice. I secretly used it while singing backup vocals. It really fills the sound without being obvious. And then, had a little fun with it doing harmony vocals inappropriately, (hope I spelled that right) It works very good and there's no programming. Very easy to use. Priced good. Works good. I'll try some recording with it SOON.

I really don't have much to say other than it is a soloists dream come true. And your background singers don't complain or show up to the gig intoxicated. And best of all you never have to pay them. YEAH! The late Dan Fogelberg who was famous for his own background vocals would of loved one of these. R.I.P. Dan. I rest my case.

I'm a solo acoustic performer. I'm always looking for something to fill up my sound a bit. This unit does the job. You unpack it, hook it all up and you're making harmonies with this baby. Easy as pie to operate. You can't go wrong with this unit.
