Critic Reviews

DigiTech Vocalist Live 3 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The DigiTech Vocalist Live 3 offers excellent sound and is easy to use, making it a great addition for musicians who sing and play. Its musIQ technology allows for impressive three-part harmony vocals, though it's not without flaws. While the unit is reasonably priced and includes useful features like a compressor and EQ, it lacks a headphone output and can produce digital artifacts and phasing issues with dual harmonies. The absence of separate outputs for harmony vocals also limits mixing options. Overall, it's a solid tool for live performances but requires careful use to avoid unwanted effects.

Nächster Punkt: Meine Bodentreter – Armee.

Mein Koffer für Gitarren- und Gesangseffekte sowie zugehörige Kabel und Netzteile wog 2014 knapp unter 20 Kilo. Nicht sehr kompakt, möchte ich sagen – mittlerweile habe ich durch eine Investition von 800 Euro folgende Geräte ersetzen können:

Digitech Vocalist Live 3 (Gesangseffekte) Line6 M9 Stompbox (Gitarreneffekte) Digitech Jamman Delay (Looper & Delays) Mischpult Kleiner Amp als Monitor auf der Bühne sämtliche zugehörigen Netzkabel und Verbindungskabel Ersetzt wurde das alles durch ein Stück Technik des Herstellers TC Helicon, das VoiceLive 3:

Die Tatsache, dass dieses Gerät so viele Funktionen in sich vereint, spart natürlich auch eine Menge Zeit beim Aufbau. Nur ein Gerät muss verkabelt werden – wenn man das überhaupt so nennen kann. Integriert sind neben einem digitalen Mischpult und In-Ear – Monitoring alle Gesangs- und Gitarreneffekte, die man sich wünschen kann. Und ein Multitrack – Looper obendrauf! Das ganze wiegt 2,5 Kilo inkl. externem Fußschalter. Not bad, eh? In English: Next: My pedal army.

My case for guitars and singing effects as well as related cables and power supplies weighed under 20 kilos in 2014. Not very compact, I would like to say - meanwhile I have replaced by an investment of 800 euros the following devices:

Digitech Vocalist Live 3 (Vocal Effects) Line6 M9 Stompbox (guitar effects) Digitech Jamman Delay (Looper & Delays) mixer Small amp as monitor on the stage All associated power cables and connecting cables It was replaced by a piece of technology from the manufacturer TC Helicon, the VoiceLive 3:

The fact that this unit combines so many functions in itself also saves a lot of time in the setup. Only one device has to be wired - if one can call that at all. In addition to a digital mixing console and in-ear monitoring, all the singing and guitar effects you can wish for are integrated. And a multitrack - looper top! The whole weighs 2.5 kilos including external foot switch. Not bad, eh?
