TC-Helicon Voicelive 2 Basic Manual

Overview
Guitarists have bonus features in VoiceLive 2. In addition
to sensing the guitar chords to guide harmony, VoiceLive
2 offers the guitarist:
o Effects, including compression, EQ, modulation and
reverb dedicated to the guitar
o Guitar mix to main outputs
o Chromatic Tuner
By this section we assume you have completed the
Quick Start and have your voice set to a comfortable
level in your PA or headphones.
Acoustic Guitar
If you haven’t by now, connect a cable from your
pickup-equipped acoustic guitar to the GUITAR IN as
described in the Quick Start. You should now hear your
guitar sound mixed with your voice.
To adjust the balance of guitar and voice, ensure the
HOME button is lit then turn the third Mix/Edit knob.
This will present the MIX screen so you can adjust the
level of your guitar.
Press the GUITAR FX button if it is not already lit. This
will add the default effects to your guitar. The Guitar FX
on/off status and style is static through preset changes.
Now you can sample the harmony-based presets with
harmonies closely related to your guitar playing. You
should now hear nicely produced lead vocal, harmony
vocals and guitar from your PA system or headphones.
Electric Guitar
Connect a cable from your electric guitar to the
GUITAR IN. Connect another cable from the GUITAR
THRU to your first guitar effects pedal or to your amp.
Set your guitar amp volume to a level compatible with
your vocals.
By connecting a jack to the GUITAR THRU, the guitar
signal is removed from the internal mixer and effects
paths in VoiceLive 2.
