Finally! A vocal processor using human voice showing how it sounds and works. Great and thanks!

High as hell watching this 😂😂

THIS is the video review that this pedal needed! And what a coincidence that it was uploaded today, when I need it the most. Thanks you so much, Evilena.

Great review. It gave me enough info to make an educated choice to "Buy" or "Not". Your knowledge of Music Theory helps lot's in this type of review. Rock On Evilena!

Excellent review. As a musician I appreciate the detail.

This was a well done and very thorough review, thank you for taking the time to share this with us! I got one of these EH voice boxes right when they came out....I love mine, and I've used it many times for many different applications. The tracking/following and formant response of the EH voice box sounds like it should cost much more than it does -but it doesn't cost more!!! I've used my lil' casio SK1 through this box and it made some dynamite sounds, as well as using the ol' SK1 to control the EH voice box's onboard vocoder...I was impressed by all of the effects and features, and all of the different combinations of parameters you can dial up so easily, and amazed at how high quality it sounds and tracks with your voice and/or instruments. There's a couple of examples of it being used on my songs "right now" where I used it to make it sound like I had a room full of male and female backup singers...but it was just me and my EH voice box. Heck, coulda fooled me! I'm also using it on my song called "feel the feeling" -where I'm exploiting the EH voice box's vocoder feature. Again, the quality of it's sound and tracking surpassed my expectations and since it was the first time I'd ever used a vocoder OR recorded with one, I'd have to say the EH voice box is pretty user friendly too, because I'm not very tech savvy...and I must say it wasn't difficult at all to set it up, dial up the sounds I wanted, and start recording. EH has really made a good quality, affordable box here that is full of genuinely usable features. I still think it's worth every dime I paid for it new. I can't say that about alot of the pedals and effects I've bought and owned. This one is very usable and I have a feeling it will remain usable. From my bass to my guitar to my voice to my keyboards, whether it be harmonies or vocoder or any combination of it's features...it's done a great sounding job for me for low cost, easy set up, and minimum hassles and space. All said, I give three "thumbs up" to the folks at EH for hitting another one out of the sonic park, and I hope they keep it up! -I'd recommend this pedal to anyone performing or home recording :)

Finally someone gives a good review on this! Can’t wait to pick up mine soon. Thank you for this :-)

Thanks. I've had mine a couple of days now and I'm every pleased. I used to own the Boss VE20 which was an absolute nightmare. It was loads of menus and sub menus and sounded like a drunken Dalek. Straight out of the box this unit was plug and play. Analogue dials make it foolproof. The tiny switches are a bit of a afterthought they were poking through the cardboard during transit. In all I was pretty impressed.

I appreciate your determination to convey TRUTH to your audience. By that I mean you didn’t try to make anything sound better than it is really capable of producing.

Excellent video! I have mine for about 4 years, and still have some things that never been clearer on how to use this little box. Thanks for your video!

Thank you for that demonstation. I'm a rock-singer and guitar player always looking for good pedals. Like you!

THAT is a brilliant review Evilena! I came across the VoiceBox some years ago and watched the "Nataly" ElectroHarmonix video, but it left a lot of questions unanswered . . . . . My own music tends to contain many more complicated chords (Slash (/) chords for instance) so your explanation clears THAT up a lot. Outside of that, I am reassured that this little box is VERY capable of enhancing your creative arsenal if used thoughtfully. For the problem areas you mention - perhaps switch to or kill the "Harmonies" momentarily. I think that "processed" harmonies are normally just fine if toned-down slightly behind the lead vocal - and the processing becomes more or less unnoticeable . . Your SONG - shows WELL how capable the VoiceBox IS - when used thoughtfully . . . . .

Thanks You were, awesomely helpful, I am a Singer Songwriter, a d have LOVED every minute of the Decades I've Written/Toured/Recorded . .I'd LOVE to >Share< OUR "Original Songs" with you . .Singers are a rare breed

The aesthetic of your mic is intensely pleasing.

Great review! I see the potential!

Great demo. I just bought the v256 vocoder which I really like. Now after watching this video I have just ordered this pedal. Thank you!

I appreciate your time and full comprehensive review of this unit and you have definitely broaden my thinking on what to buy Thank you

Thanks for this, I really enjoy your to the point and practical style

Nice vocoder sounds.

Thank you for reviewing. It helps to understand the reality of this tool.

Thank you so much, I've been looking for a harmonizing machine.

You are great, I'm glad you did this video. You are good at describing things.

Finally a really good video with no marketing blabla. Thank you for this very detailed explanation of this FX-Unit. Also mentioning that sus'es, add's and intervals might not work as i wish them to, is a great advice and good to know before you buy one. Big Ups for your honesty and dedication. Keep it up! :-*

That Voice Box is priceless!!! Changed the game from the moment I plugged it in.

Thorough, entertaining, cool. 💜💯

The main thing you have to consider about these boxes that play harmonies based on instrument inputs is that the note must be sustained. You can't hit a 1/4 note and expect it to harmonize a whole or half note. These are primarily for guitar inputs, which should have a sustained note/chord. As for the harmonic dissonance, pianos allow for chords built from 10 notes (10 fingers), so which octave do you want it to harmonize with? If you don't want the unit to harmonize with the chord, you can split the mic signal to the line input with a line transformer, and the harmony will follow the incoming vocal. However, you won't get the Minor/Major tweaks as you would with an instrument input playing Major/Minor chords.

That's so awesome. It sounds like a female and male talking at the same time.

Thank you for the voice box review - with a TC helicon harmony g-xt, you can use "manual mode" and program in your key and it will play more friendly

That pixie setting at 9:26 is perfect for doing Chipmunks. Lots of fun to sing Christmas songs on that setting while trying not to laugh. Then when you laugh it makes you laugh again.

Thank you . Can you buy a box that just harmonises what the lead-singer is singing and is just linked into her microphone . She has a Shure one . I’m interested as I’m in a band.

Very thorough review that told me everything I wanted to know! Thank you!

Assuming that I have set the blend up, will I still get reverb for the voice even in bypass mode if I have have the dry knob reverb turned clockwise?

21:15 twenty three minute review summed up in three words

I think your "pitch shifter" pronunciation was good at the first attempt 😉 Cool demo. Interesting machine. Thank you!

Nice job. Patient and complete. I REALLY appreciate that! When you get your own TV Show, I hope I can get 3 minutes as a Guest Artist. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for the delivery of my Voice Box. Now I can be excited about actually using it! My pedal-phobia is cured! [How much do I owe you for this intervention?? Be Kind. hahaha]

Wow, you’re a really great reviewer! Thanks 😂 And a great musician too. I listened on bandcamp

Excellent review! Thanks and congratulations 😉👍🏼

I agree with José Maria. I just received the pedal and was lost in the manual. Your video has made the functions clear. Liked and subscribed!

Thank you for this review señorita. I really apreciate it!!

I loved! Thanks for this!!

Fantastic demo, thank you so much. I have always had issues with the harmonizers as soon as you introduce, say, a Csus2, C6, or C major 7. It suddenly gives you really odd, unharmonious results. I was hoping this one would be different.

I've noticed that the dry signal is much louder than the processed signal, is this normal?

Great vid! Thanks

Fantastic demo. No reason to not use my terrible voice for my songs

THANKS Evilena this is a nice troughwalk!

Good demo, but, oh dear. Who needs this?

Thankyou so much, ive been trying to get the vocoder to work without an input sound!!

I had one. It sounded too robotic for me. I went with a tc helicon voicelive 2 for live performance with a band and boss ve-8 for busking. I got both used n have had zero problems with either unit. Had them both for years now. Remember that id u are in America you can take it home n try it for a month before you decide.

Nice helpful video Evilena. Thanks. I play guitar and write my own stuff and use some less usual chords. I was thinking of trying one of these but I think I will re-think my plans.

Youdr english is very good and thanks for all the overviews of this pedal.😊

Excellent thanks 😃🎸🎸

Very well explained and a very good team to work with when you're alone. Thanks a lot!!!!! Subscribed!!!!!

very good and informative video. i think, i now have a very good idea about what kind of use i could get out of this. could you do a video about the EHX V256 as well ? i've seen people often ask on forums if they should get a voice box or a V256

Hmmmm they told me not to sing, but maybe I can fool them with this box. Thanks love your skills.

What vocal processor had the best harmonizer and keeping on tune?

Had an earlier version a few years back. It worked fine and was impressive for about an hour. It was a waste of money because it didn’t last beyond first rehearsal.

your eye color is lovely )

This is the best video!! very much perfect!! I was looking from a long time but this one very very good!! Thank you so much !! Subscribed!! I will ask some questions also..

very well explained. I ve came with so many questions and now I dont have any :D

Hahaha, great video ... I'm a robot..., signing out, error, errrrorrr ...

Perfect review!

FINE JOB ma lady thank you. Ver much!

Extraordinary tutorial, thanks.

Super Great! 👍🏼 There's sometimes a bit of feedback and clipping. Why is that?

I am looking for a harmony pedal that allows me to: * pick a harmony note setting that is dialable chromatically anywhere on the scale one octave up or down. More than one harmony note setting to create a chord based off of my vocalized note would be an added plus. I want full control over the harmony interval note selection even if my choices are not traditionally considered to be in harmony. * this unit would NOT depend on background chords on a guitar or whatever to auto harmonize. I want to sing a note and pick the interval I want, not have some microchip decide that for me.

this is a great review. Thank you!

she looks so real.

Hahahaha love this !!!!

This makes me wish I took music theory in high school.

Cool and very descriptive video Evilena. Thanks for doing it. Would you know if they (Electro-Harmonix) makes this unit in a rack mount version? I am currently rebuilding my recording studio and thought this might be a fun edition to my setup with my vintage rack gear. Thanks and super well done video...Be well. Philip NYC Area

VERY WELL DONE!!! BRAVO!!!!!!

wonder if you have checked the TCHelicon or Korg/Boss stuff?

Thank you. This was very helpful!

CIRCLE OF 5TH BEATS THE VOICE BOX! 😅🤣

WOW love your energy. super talented too. checked your other videos. Thank you

Thank you for this. It helped me.

Nice review! I have a question. When u use the mic bypass will the dry reverb work? I mean use the pedal only as a reverb for vocals and then if u press it back u can have the harmonies too. Thanks 🤗

So I just purchased an electro harmonix Machine and vocoder voice box pedal. However, while using it, I noticed that the Harmony was set to something like G sharp maj. is there a possible way to change the key on the machine?

Good job sister

Will this help an absolutely horrible nasal voice like mine sound any better or am I cursed until I die? Ty

That was great and fun!

I became your 1000th subscriber! 🎉😅

Great review, thank you!!

Cool review. Thanks

Wow that was the cutest pedal review ever. Loved it. Can I ask did you use a compressor between the mic and the pedal.

this is an amazing video! so detailed. Id rather watch this than read the manual! :D

I don't plug it to the boards. I prefer the octave effect. I can harmonize anyway. The texture is what makes the difference/secret sauce for my production.

super test

People are looking for quality reverb.but they don't seem to sell them no more.

I love you ❤😩

🌸👍 enzo

What Mic are you using to narrate??

Nice demo. Can I plug a guitar instead of a keyboard ?

a robot that smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day.

very good...kissis from brazil

How do you scroll though the presets live?

¡Gracias! Muy útil explicación.

I have this unit..love it but I don’t use the harmony functionality. I use strictly for the octave setting.

Thank you for sharing. I'm investigating these kinds of boxes and every time I am a bit disappointed about the results and your video is no exception. I've seen singers using these devices and they use it sparingly. Just some in between supporting voices they know it sounds good. These pedals are not smart, they are just conforming to what is at hand and in most cases that doesn't work out too well. We'll just have to wait until AI takes over here, I guess.

How do you set this up? I have it set up exactly like the manual says and it still doesn’t work.
