Features and functionality

    Source
  • The need for additional I/O and advanced features depends heavily on individual performance requirements, such as combining vocals and guitar effects.

    Source
  • The VoiceLive 3 lacks keyboard tones, meaning users must rely on external sources for sound inputs from instruments like guitars and keyboards.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Gain staging on the VoiceLive 3 Extreme needs careful adjustment, as improper setup can introduce noise and affect performance quality.

    Source
  • Using an expression pedal to swell in harmonies provides a more natural sound compared to abrupt button activation, enhancing live performance dynamics.

    Source

Great product, but almost too much of a good thing...

This pedal is awesome. The amount of options and the granularity of the tweaking is mind-boggling. But that is also it's biggest drawback. If you don't have the time or energy to put into this, you will be wasting most of the potential. It is also super huge, and the use-model pretty much assumes that it is the centerpiece of your equipment, rather than something designed to integrate with the rest of your setup.

WHOA

I need to RTFM, this thing is a beast, vocal FX, guitar FX and a looper all in one tidy package. This thing comes with so many presets and downloadables too but the power is when you hook up to the PC and use the non-official https://www.voiceliveeditor.com/ software to create your own custom patches.

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?
