Digitech Vocalist Performer
Vocal Harmony Processor with reverb and optional 3-way FS-300 foot pedal and owners manual
Vocalist Performer
You were born to play music, to sing, to express your creative soul. Great harmony compliments your voice and makes your vocal unique. You've heard about harmony processors but there's a catch....You don't want to be bogged down with MIDI and complicated electronic devices that seem too expensive, seem to waste time and detract from your creativity.
Enter DigiTech Performer, the MIDI-free harmony processor with Reverb. It's simple, It's affordable, it's for you! Designed for acoustic and electric guitarists, piano players, and solo singers, Performer is "hands free" and does not need to be controlled by MIDI. No editing little screens and spending hours learning a user interface. Spend your time on music, not music technology.
Imagine instant harmony at your finger tips! Create hundreds of harmony styles from 50 different factory presets, each with 6 variations. Simply select the key of the song from the front panel keyboard and key of the song and sing! Choose harmonies above or below your lead vocal. There's an excellent reverb included with switchable room types. Just plug your microphone directly into Performer, run the output to an amp and go for it!
The optional DigiTech FS300 footswitch lets you bypass harmony, switch from the A&B sections, lets you turn the reverb on and off, and mutes individual voices as you play or sing.
For you home studio enthusiasts, Performer also has a line input so you can create perfect natural sounding harmonies for your demos. Create harmony "live" in real time or use Performer to add up to two more vocals to a previously recorded track using the line input. No more 4 track quality loss that comes from bouncing down the music to one track in order to free up fresh tracks for vocals. It's like adding 2 more tracks to your deck!
Both performing and amateur musicians will appreciate the high-quality sound, affordable price, and the ease of use of the new DigiTech Vocalist Performer.

"Great Addition for Folk/Celtic Music"
This unit has added a whole new dimension to my live Gigs. When playing any type of folk or Celtic music it is great to have those harmonies for the Chorus parts.
I highly recommend this unit for the Soloist or even if your a lead singer in a duo or trio. It just enhances the whole sound (and it doesn't sound electronic.) I use it in both Live settings and recording.
FYI: make sure you get the footswitch to be able to control it while performing live.

Style of Music: Folk, Celtic / Irish
Sound:
I've been in bands for 40 years and this is the best priced and best little unit I know that will enhance any individual or group's sound. The first time we used it,everyone just started looking around and grinned. We hit vocal notes that were there but we could never reach. Now...this is our band secret. I say buy it. NO way to go wrong!
Ease of Use:
NO problem making changes.
