I had a surgery (see my other channel) and our band has not yet played out with me using this, but soon I’ll be able to bring it to practice and see how it works out with them then.
I have a problem. You have two outputs (one for the microphone, and one for the guitar), so two amplifiers (or only one but with two channels), with the TC-Helicon Gx-t (which works identically) I have the sound of my guitar in one amp and the sound of my voice in another. The Gx-t is an imposing pedal format, I bought a smaller MOOER Harmonier (same principle too), but my voice and my guitar are mixed on the two amps (not great because I want to be able to add distortion sometimes), does the Harmony Singer 2 also have this problem? Thanks 🙂
Yes. In this example, I had both the vocal and guitar outputs going into a AltoTS212 and just adjusted the inputs for each channel (2 of em on the alto) Ideally, you’d have a small mixer.
I found it eats batteries. The one spot 9v power supply kit runs this pedal brilliantly. You get the power adapter and a daisy chain you also get a 9v battery adapter I use it for a boss fs6. I run this pedal a beat buddy a Boss GT1 and a midi maestro and a TC polytune 3 all from this power supply in the UK it’s £39 not sure Stateside but it’s outstanding and so is the harmony singer 2.
Thanks for the advice, I haven't decided if I am going to add it to a pedalboard or just 1 off it and thus not sure how to power it (besides my batteries) just yet.
I got one and out of the box there is a humm or a static noise, depending on if I push the ground button on the side. I'm so not impressed with this unusable pedal. Back to the store with you. Can't hear the harmony over the hum or static noise. DO NOT BUY BEFORE YOU TRY.

We do have all 3 doing harmonies, but sometimes the drummer has a mental block where singing at the same time as drumming causes timing issues and/or him to go flat in the vocals. I am trying to alleviate some of those 'rough spots' Additionally, I like doing solo acoustic gigs from time to time so I consider the pedal justified.

You've got a great voice! I hope you take the lead sometines!
Once in a blue moon ;)
Thank you for this nice honest review. Would like to know how youre getting on with it now and how the others in the band felt about it.

could i plug a laptop in with backing tracks on.
I don’t think so. It expects guitar instrument and vocal only as far as I can tell.
For a demo of the harmony pedal I would back the guitar down. Your guitar volume is way out front.
Makes sense
can you not use it without the guitar in.?
I haven’t tried that. It’s a good idea for a video, so I’ll consider it.

Who uses batteries? Get a power pack.
I like the TC Helicon too.

You probs just got a lemon. You can clearly hear in my video that mine didn’t have any hum and the harmonies were audible. Good luck!
Three piece band are you sure? Get the other two guys to sing harmony? I’ll get two people that can.

You must not have anything to do LOL
I had a bit of static which went by pressing the ground button. Problem solved. I suggest you might need to use a different cable somewhere.
Maybe check your 9V adaptor. If it is center negative. If your adaptor is center positive that will be the outcome it will have statics or humm.
