(EN) Introduction VoiceTone C1 offers correction, HardTune and Gender effects in an easy-to-use footpedal. This product is ideal for singers who seek ultimate pitch accuracy in live performance and recording. It also produces the infamous “Cher” effect where pitch correction is used as a robot-type effect. A Gender control adds to the mayhem to make your voice deeper (male) or thinner (female>alien).

PA Connecting MIC jack - Connect your mic here using a balanced XLR cable. Phantom power is always on. OUT jack - Connect to your PA mixer, another VoiceTone pedal or powered speaker. Power in - Connect the supplied 12VDC power supply. PA Optional: USB - Connect to a computer running the TC-Helicon VoiceSupport application for registration, latest version and tips. INST IN - Chords played on this instrument will be recognized when the Key selector is set to Chromatic.
First Setup and Use 1. Turn down your PA’s master volume. 2. Connect your mic and PA as shown in the diagram first, then plug in the AC adaptor. For live performance, a USB connection to a computer is not required. 3. Set the key to C, Attack control to Hard and the Gender control to the center notch. Optional - Connect an instrument as shown to guide correction and override the Key selector. 4. Sing into your mic while adjusting the MIC GAIN control so that the input level LED flashes green.
Effect Descriptions Key control - Setting this control to your song’s accompaniment key is essential for HardTune and pitch correction to be musically useful.
Using Multiple VoiceTone Single Pedals It is possible (even encouraged!) to use more than one VoiceTone pedal at a time. You will only need to adjust the MIC GAIN control of the first pedal in the chain. On the rest, MIC GAIN should be set to the minimum (fully left) position. The order of the pedals is important. See the following table showing 2, 3 and 4 pedal combinations.
FAQ Why am I hearing distortion? Likely the MIC GAIN knob is set too high. Ensure that the Input LED is green most of the time with only brief and rare peaks of red. Can I use the product on an auxiliary send/return? Yes. You will need balanced XLR to TRS cables to do so. Ensure that the MIC GAIN knob is set to minimum to accept the line level signal from your mixer. Will I need a DI box to connect to a mixer? No.
