I'm using my Axe FX as a vocal processor currently, with TC Helicon Mic Mechanic as a preamp in my pedalboard and a Palmer pro DI box between Output 2 of AFX and FOH.
This sort of works, but is kind of clumsy, and I really want to remove as much as possible from my pedalboard and move things to the rack. It also makes my presets complicated in terms of routing, and causes too much CPU usage sometimes. So I'm thinking about a dedicated vocal processor.
Since size matters, I'm reluctant to buy the TC Helicon VoiceLive Rack unit and instead thought to get this Digitech thing. However, it seems like a fairly old device, and for whatever reason I don't really trust Digitech too much (no particular reasons, just some weird prejudice).
I don't need anything too fancy, just some EQ, compression, doubler, harmony. Reverb quality isn't too important as this will be mostly used in live gigs.
For the most part I do backing vocal parts with occasional lead, so I need presets and MIDI.
Has anyone have any experience with the unit? Or maybe other units that I should look at?
Thanks!
