I have been using this product for 3 months now. And I absolutely love it! My strong point as a singer/songwriter is my vocal ability. And the vocal settings on this are amazing. Easy to control and adjust. The guitar sounds are killer as well. The looper is now a regular part of my songwriting. If you are looking to have some fun singing and playing acoustic guitar, this is here is for you!

One of the best demos I've ever seen.

Ha ha! "You're not gonna want to use that..." Awesome

This review was super super entertaining and I'm really digging this pedal

Very nice tutorial...one of the better ones showing how to use it!

I use my TCHPA for delay and reverb on my electric guitar at church even when I'm not scheduled to be a singer because those effects sound so great! I use a Switch 3 to turn them on/off. This little box does everything!

Man tc helicon is on a roll thanks for review

I would love this product

Thank you for this video,I think I’m going to get this

For just guitar & vocals, using the unit direct into a line array system is perfect and all you need. I use it in stereo into 2 JBL Eon One systems. I only use a mixer if I am using backing tracks or there are more channels required for other instruments.etc.

Thanks for the very authentic way you presented your product! I wish more companies would do it that way instead of making fancy marketing videos in which one can‘t even properly hear the product, itself.

Dude you are hilarious. Love my (3) TC Helicon pedals though. They are worth their weight in gold.

good review. Thanks

Great Video. I've learned a lot from your videos. Question. Yesterday I was learning how to use the looper. It was awesome. The loop played back at the right volume and I could jam with it. I started messing around with all the functions after watching your video and now I can't get the looper to play back at a descent volume. I appreciate any help with this.

I just bought this the other day.. all I can say is wow!

Loving this review. How much different is this product than using a Fishman Spectrum Aura & the TC Harmony pedal? I could also run my Mandolin thru Spectrum pedal. I also have 3 voice correct pedals for each member of the bunch. Do I have enough crap or do I really need this as well. Come on .... be serious...., and nice...

Is there a way to make the megaphone or radio sound effect under the vocal transducer to NOT cut in and out. I love the effect but want to sing with it without it cutting out so quickly breaking up my words. Thanks! Love your product!

Hi. Nice work on the vid. Hey what amp r u using with this pedal? Thanks

hello Does It have a preamp ? so there will be no need to plug it into a amp. so i can just plug it directly into the mixer

Can you adjust the volume of the harmonies and vocal effects against your vocal level and the same with the guitar volume ???

can you save presets for guitar settings?and can you scroll through them as you can with vocal settings .....which seems to have conveniently left out in all tutorials

I like the looper in this too. it was my next purchase. I ant a ditto looper

I am finding difficult to ge good balance between vocals and harmony as well as setting the out put to the mixer a real bummer. should I do a factory reset?

Body Rez’s.... ? the guitar sounded better without. Good review. Loved the vocal effects Tempting pedal

I like that little song ya made up there

I just had a question about the PlayAcoustic if I may - say I would like to record harmonies in a DAW (and most of the tracks are already recorded) - can I use the aux in to playback the recorded parts in order to generate the chord-specific harmonies, or does that feature only work with a live guitar input? If this requires a techie from TC-Helicon is there a good contact you could direct me to? Thanks again for your music. Richard (Ricky) from Hartford CT

Is there an option for plugging in in ear monitoring to the unit?

How can I get longer loop time, much shorter than any standard loop pedal? Or am I doing something wrong.?

Is it possible to take the acoustic guitar xlr out, and plug it to other guitar pedals using an xlr-jack adaptator? I mean, i know it is phisically possible, but i am afraid of things like noise, level or generic signal issues (balancing for example). Hope someone will help me!

Hola.Una pregunta para que sirve la pestaña "genre".Gracias por el video.Saludos..

Hi Thanks for this Video! I tried to connect play acoustic to my pc using USB cable but my DAW can't find TC helicon. Can you help me how to connect to DAW? Thanks:)

Is it possible to output voice and guitar together? I mean using just one XLR cabel? Just like in harmony G xt model?

Will this also act as an audio interface, replacing something like a scarlet solo?

Major problems running it through Fender Acoustasonic 150 amp. vocal channel feeds back even at lowest volume when using XLR. When using jack it worked but now has started to feed back just the same making it unusable. I am not technically minded so I am stuck.

need a video on how to lay down anloop and overdub and how to put it all together.

Hi there, I certainly hope you can help me with this issue. I have TC Helicon Play Acoustic for a year or more. It was a great device! Just recently, the unit acts strange. It turn on OK, but suddenly it just HANG/ FREEZE. Display is ON, but all buttons and knobs not working. Unit can not detect input sound, no output either. I tried to RESET, also updated the unit with latest firmware via VoiceSupport. The problem still happens.

How do I set up the tap tempo? Like he did it here I tried and it just changes my presets :(

How would this sound with a ukulele? Can you save the loops?

Hi, what if you want to connect your TC play acoustic and a boss rc30. Is that possible? If so how do you do it?

Can I plug this unit into my Tascam DP-03 portostudio?

I already have been using my Boss RC30 and have been considering getting the TC Helicon Mic Mechnic and other guitar pedals to enhance my sound. I just recently discovers the Play Acoustic. Is this pedal something I could use with my RC30 when perform/am looping?

Are there separate mixer channels for guitar and vocals

Can i use it to add a voice an octave bellow my voice? What harmony settings should i do to achieve this?

Hello TC Helicon, I hope you can help me out. I recently got a playacoustic and a brand new sennheiser e835 mic. I use the playacoustic with my headphones (marshall). When i listen closely I hear weird sounds. I can’t discribe it but weird cracking and flanger type of sound. You can hear this the best on preset 40 (Believe). This preset is totally useless because the weird sound is really loud. I tried to pit down the mic gain you can still hear it even when unplugged. When i change from preset 40 to 41 it goed a little bit away. But when i press 40 again en talk in the mic it starts again. I really want the product what can i do about this?

I'm just starting out learning how to use the TC Helicon Acoustic and would like to use a wireless headset mic set up rather then the regular mic. How do I connect that? Thanks,

can you leave reverb on the whole time and use the HIT button?

Very entertaining

Great product, though a couple of niggles, the guitar input has not output/through so you can’t hook up other effects or separate mix so you are restricted to the onboard effects/mix which are good but not great (body rez apart which is great)and difficult to change on the fly! When you use through headphones, vocal effects “bleed” into the guitar sound rendering the facility almost useless on some of the “heavier” effects eg when chorus,/2 harmonies /doubling is used.This is an issue for practice/monitoring. Maybe they will address these issues in the next incarnation of the pedal, on the positive side I couldn’t think of playing an acoustic gig without this product now, it is a must have for the price so take my earlier observations as constructive criticism! 👍👍👍

Please help somehow I hit a button that say showcase, it appears in the window number 1 High Harmony. This seems to stop the full range of the programs i can only go to 1, 5, 10, 13, 49 that all. How can I get rid of that showcase and get back to all of the programs? 10-18-22

It's good but can it do Alvin?

Is there anyway you can add more loop time?

Im havin trouble figuring out how to record with this in a home studio setup, because the TC Helicon Acoustic requires you to connect your guitar via the line in to get the harmony/matching/pitch correct stuff that it does, and the best way to record an acoustic guitar is probably a condenser microphone or something pointed at the 12th fret area. And whenever I'm using my line in to record on my DAW, the acoustic quality isnt that great with the line in,.. could be partially my pick up. Havent found any demos on home recording with this expensive tool...

Can u please tell me its just power supply to plug in and out for turning it on and off or is there any bottons

I use two mics and leave the harmony on and just turn my head to the mic connected to the harmony singer by tc Helicon and go back to the mic not running through the harmonizer

does the voice harmony have more than 2 voices? In other words can I record three part harmony in the background?

Can series this to keyboard piano?

is it possible to use this pedal with an electric guitar?

Hello again, this is Jim McLemore again with one more comment about your great product, "Play Acoustic" Like I brought up before, there is no 1/4" out so I can't plug it into the DITTO LOOPER 2 that I own (yes I know the play acoustic has a looper , but I finally have mine, the DITTO 2 down and I want to continue to use it in my shows) Nor are you able to plug it into any other outboard effects pedals say trimolo. etc. I did make a "Y" cord so I can split the single and go to my amp on stage but there is a small hum using it. Remember I don't sing and I only use the Play Acoustic for the Body REZ and built in effects. I bought the small Body REZ version your offering now just to A/B the difference and it was quite a lot. Because of the wide range of options you have on the Play Acoustic it is far superior to the small unit even at 3 times the price. Like I said, I am a huge supporter of the Body Rez. It's amazing!!!!! Please think about making a D.I. box for acoustic guitars like the Fishman AURA or L.R. Baggs Venue that unlike them make yours so you can store some user patches with both xlr & 1/4" in/out. If there wasn't a market for them ten Baggs & Fishman & A.E.R. just to name a few wouldn't be making them. Your unit with the BODY REZ effect would blow them away. In closing, you are so close in making the best unit that would be on the market for acoustic players it would be a shame not to make something that would be every acoustic guitar players dream.

You actually can undo the last loop. At least so says the manual. Many of your questions are answered in the manual. So... dig in. downloads.music-group.com/documents/tchelicon/tc-helicon_play_acoustic_manual_english.pdf

can you make the hit button momentary?

Hello Tom, i' ve been playing today at home with my Aer amp and Taylor guitar and i realised that i need more than the TC Helicon Voicelive Play for my voice i have in mind. I need a delay pedal for the guitar that can do ping pong delay, stereo output to fullfil my songs once i have the PA System. Each song has its own tempo, so i need to be able to change from one setting to another pre configured, with my foot. From bank to bank. I am talking about delay only. I want to Leave voice set Up apart from guitar set up. My guitar will always have same reverb from amp, but different delays from a pedal i cant find. Can you please Tell me of any pedal that i can use with foot with at least 10 User banks set ups ? With stereo output, with tap delay, ping pong, 1/8 note Is there anything in TC Helicon? Thank you very much in avance, Best wishes, Angel.

No delay for the Guitar?

Is there a factory reset on this unit?

Can you use it just for vocals? Without connecting any instrument to it?

What is the difference to voice play live

Does this thing have a looper?

As soon as I hold the "hit" button in order to bypass the preset I'm currently using, this high pitch horrible feedback lingers in the background in every word I say. Has anyone else had this problem?

Can i use my acoustic guitar on voicelive play electric ?

Is there a low harmony on this pedal ?

Hard to see your LCD screen on the unit.

I need a pedal that will: 1. Loop a mic for egg shakers. 2. Several acoustic tones/effects. 3. Several vocal reverbs. 4. Fuzz for mic'ing harmonica 5. Delay for mic'ing harmonica 6. Allow more than one microphone so I can duet.

Do you need a mixer if you use this pedal?

GTX is the best because of the guitar effects! I am so sad they don't produce it anymore! I have never found an effect with so many guitar options. Help me please! I want my GTX or something similar. And also guys please don't do too much of those voice effects because it's very annoying and the "effect" is opposite. ;)

Can you plug this product on to a regular amplifier?

Cab I USE an electric guitar with this too

Pretty good job, but . . . You Failed to show us HOW we can 'Save' 4-5 Diff sounds to use AT ONCE in our song we are Recording for the Radio ! You switch Between them, using them one-at-a-time; but HOW do we engage 5 Diff sounds (harmonies, Delay, doubling, Echo on guitar) AT THE SAME TIME ?

not gonna wanna use it for pitch correct? bruh thats why I'm buying this lol

can i connect my electric instead of an acoustic?

You tellin me they couldn't get this guy a puff guard or pop filter

Doubling sounded like terrible

PMSL ... 5min23secs "but also" ... but also, the pitch correction is still on your voice, meaning you get a stupid warble while talking to your audience :-)

It requires a 12 volt PSU so won’t be finding its way onto my pedalboard.

May want to rethink your tutorials "view of the screen and pedal itself." Hard to see what you're doing.

guys the lenght of the loop is ridiculous... you cannot do progresions with more than two chords.

I know: EVERYBODY'S a CRITIC

This sounds absolutely terrible I mean this guy works for TC Helicon and he has no common sense to dial the harmonies back a little bit it sounds very robotic and absurd. Also I would be curious to know are there harmonies that are not just the octave above and below as in how people actually sing in a group octaves are typically not added until a third Harmony is present.

Harmonies are so robotic:(

WARNING! YOU WILL GET NO SUPPORT FROM TC-HELICON NOR MUSIC TRIBE. THEY DO NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONES AND ONLY CORRESPOND VIA VERY SLOW E-MAILS, SENDING YOU TO A COMMUNITY HELP FORUM. NO HELP. FIND ANOTHER PRODUCT!!!!

Bad record... everything exploding

Terrible.

Does this unit have a boosting feature for playing lead solo on acoustic guitar?
