Page 7: Phantom Power
Phantom Power There is no switch to enable phantom power on the VoiceTone singles. Phantom power is available when the product is powered up. Microphones that don’t require phantom power will operate properly. First Setup and Use 1. Turn down your PA’s master volume. 2. Connect and power up unit. You can cycle the footswitch to light the LED and confirm unit is powered. 3. Connect your mic and PA as shown in the diagram. For live performance, a USB connection to a computer is not required. 4. Sing into your mic while adjusting the MIC GAIN control so that the input level LED flashes green to orange. Brief flashes of red on the LED on your loudest singing are ok. 5. Set the Dry/Wet knob to the center notch. - Page 8 Echo: The timing of these 3 styles is independent of the Tap delay time. They are intended to offer gen- eralized non-tempo-matched echo sounds. Tap: These 6 styles can be used when you want the echo repeats to land on the beats or on beat divi- sions of your song.
- Page 9 The Tap Styles The Tap styles are shown in standard musical notation as follows. The following assumes a tempo of 120 Beats Per Minute (BPM). Quarter Note. Echo time is 500 ms. Echoes land directly on the beat. Eighth Note. 250 ms. Straight eighths feel. Triplet Eighth. 166 ms. Dense shuffle feel. Dotted Eighth. 375 ms. Think “Get Back” by the Beatles Quarter Note Triplet. 333 ms. Sparse shuffle feel. Dotted Quarter. 750 ms. Sparse syncopation feel. The Feedback Control This controls the number of repeats and thus the duration of the echo effect.
- Page 10 (fully left) position. The order of the pedals is important. See the following for signal flow. Microphone > T1 > C1 > D1 > H1 > X1 > E1 > R1 > To PA Using the Mic Control Feature Mic Control allows you to turn the main effect on and off from the optional TC-Helicon MP-75 mic. Each VoiceTone Single pedal has a switch labelled MIC CONTROL that can be pushed in allowing remote on/off control for that pedal. Mic Control can be used for single or multiple pedals on any or all pedals.
- Page 11 Can I use the product on an auxilliary send/return? Yes. Ensure that the MIC GAIN knob is set to minimum to accept the line level signal from your mixer. Note that the noise floor may rise slightly in this setup. Will I need a DI box to connect to a mixer? Why is the product turning the effect on and off by itself? This can happen when you have the MIC CONTROL knob pushed in and the Mic input is connected to a mixer send with “pseudo balanced” outputs. Unless you are using only the TC-Helicon MP-75 mic with the Mic Control feature, the MIC CONTROL knob should be out.
