Quick guide from the manual

The TC Helicon Harmony Singer 2 is a vocal effect pedal designed to add harmonies and reverb to your voice. To get started, ensure you have a 9V DC power supply or 4 AA batteries. Connect your microphone to the Mic input and your guitar to the Guitar input to allow the pedal to detect the key for harmony generation. Use the Ground lift button if you experience unwanted buzz or hum.

Device Overview

The pedal features several controls for shaping your sound:

  • Key Selector: Selects the major key for pitch correction and harmony generation.
  • Level: Adjusts the volume of the harmonies.
  • Reverb: Selects the type and amount of reverb effect.
  • Tone: Engages 'Adaptive Tone' which applies EQ, compression, de-essing, and gating.
