Welcome to VoiceTone Double
VoiceTone Double was built for the performance
minded singer desiring studio quality doubling and
thickening on stage.
The effects in VoiceTone Double are produced by the
very same algorithms used by the world’s biggest
touring acts.
In terms of audio quality (noise floor, harmonic
distortion, and frequency response), Double surpasses
anything that has come before it, and unarguably
exceeds even the most stringent "audiophile" standards.
To make your life as easy as possible, Double presents a
wide pallet of professionally-authored patches. Where
out-of-the-box sounds aren't enough, Double provides
four editing controls to customize the effects to your
preference.
Features:
o Dual effect blocks - “Overdub” and “μMod”
(pronounced micromod)
o 10 factory banks with 3 patches in each cover
many doubling styles
o Part A/B switch to allow instant selection of 2
different edited effects
o Quick and easy tweaking of patches
o XLR mic level input and output in stereo or mono
o Clean, studio quality mic preamp with phantom
power

About TC-Helicon
At TC-Helicon we truly believe that the voice is the
world's most beautiful instrument. We don't mean to
degrade other beautiful instruments, but the singing
voice is the anthropological source for all things melodic.
In the words of the founders of TC-Helicon,
"Everything we do is dedicated to this instrument (the
singing voice). We envision a world where those who
work with the voice in live and recording situations can
bring out the very best from any performance, and
where the possibilities of vocal craft are endless."
Our mission was galvanized by a simple question:
"Isn't it time that someone finally provided dedicated
tools and solutions for voice?"
So what does this all mean to singers? It means that you
should know there is a dedicated group of engineers,
researchers and product specialists, based in Victoria, BC,
Canada, who spend every waking moment of their
working lives listening, talking, singing, and interacting
with singers and those who have passion for the singing
voice. All this knowledge and experience is used to
design products respecting and empowering the
modern vocalist. Our products focus on removing
barriers and inspiring creativity in performance. That's
why our products range from near-field personal vocal
monitors to floor-based vocal multi-effects pedals.
Enjoy.
