I know you did this video to demo the vocalist live, but you helped me make up my mind on the JamMan Stereo. I was torn between the JamMan and two others I won't mention. I bought the JamMan yesterday after hearing your demo. This is one good song and a great demo of the Digitech products. Keep em coming.
Best to use these units is by an XLR splitter cable, one end plugs in to the mic and then you have two female ends at the other end. One goes direct to the mixer and the other goes through the VL 2,3,4 or 5, works the same way as the video shows You can then eq the harmony channel any way you like without altering your main vocal channel.
Thanks for an extremely helpful, well done demo Matt! i have a TC Helicon, and a Boss, and this VoiceLive3 follows your melodies better than the others. i learned this from your great demo with trills and nuances in your very good voice. Thanks!
Hi. I have one of these and must say that it needs to be set up which is very easy and simple. The Harmonies may be coloured or left alone using your own sounding voice. Also the Guitar sensitivity can be set to hi or low. The Harmony foot switch can be tailored to your needs in terms of how the peddle works,(holding the peddle down or clicking on-off) In this demo the harmony could be turned down and it will be quite good. Remember it’s 24 bit 44.1kHz so the quality is very good. Solid and rugged, great from studio harmony too. It’s a great product that sounds believable if you put the time in and listen closely to your results. Hope this helps some of you. :)
It will work with a 12 string no problem. With keyboards they seem to track ok as long as you use organ or piano sounds. Results will vary using synth pad or string swell keyboard sounds. the VL3D has midi control for harmonies with a keyboard.
Here I am 11 years later having found one at an auction......... and it works just fine. It's pretty fun to mess around with. I don't know that I would invest in one new... but it's fun.
Just bought one last night from Amazon. Hope it works for me ! Sounds great, but it does help that the demo guy's voice is pretty awesome in the first place. I'll know better, how good it turns out when a very average ( not bad, but far from stage worthy ) singer such as myself uses it. Hoping it's pitch corrector can cover a multitude of vocal sins, but i'm gonna have a lot of fun with it anyway i hope !
In other words, I need a way to get the guitar signal into the Vocalist to control the harmonies, but turn the Thru on/off depending on whether the guitar should be heard or not heard. Did Digitech think of that?
The main thing with harmony pedals (and I've tried them all), you need to sing like a harmony singer. The generated harmony parts aren't very realistic if you just sing in your normal vocal lead style (as this guy mostly does). Also mix the harmonies a bit lower.
Wow, the Live 3 really makes for a rich stong harmony. I am not a musician but have a serious singing bug and sing with soundtracks (karaoke singer). Would the Live 3 help me to have some harmony which I want on some older group songs or does it only work with a guitar or other instrument as you showed here?
Thanks for the video! I have this harmonizer and the button at the bottom right (the one that turns on the harmonizing effect) does not stay pressed. It only works when I keep holding it down. Do you know why that is and how to solve this?
The one thing I'm curious about is instead of using a guitar or digital piano to set the harmony voices, could you instead use a dry audio signal from a karaoke CD for example on the guitar thru-patch so you wouldn't get feedback into main audio?
Hello! How does the backings responds to the chords with 5 chords distortion? Does they get the same definition of harmony of natural chords? About the INPUT button GAIN MIC input side , what`s the difference in practice and which level do you indicate? And those buttons Setup and Harmony Patch, does it serve to do what? Thanks a lot!
This thing connects before your guitar is processed thru your amp...distortion should not matter......Basically, you have a mic and guitar, cord from each of them plug into this unit then out of this unit to your amp or other pedals then amp and PA system respectively. It is using the clean vibrations from your guitar pick ups.
Can this be used with an inverter 1500w Dc 12v to AC 240v, to make it portable as needed to power effect vocal pedal, that is run on electric. Thanking you in advance.
Works great for vocals even w/out a guitar. I use to have the Digitech Live Vocalist 2 and it worked great for karaoke singing and online karaoke recording(singsnap.com). It produces nice harmonies along with reverb, compression(smooths out your vocal volume changes), and also has a pretty decent pre-amp for your mic with phantom power. At least the Vocalist 2 had decent pre-amp. Nice piece of equipment to have. To record to my pc I connected the Vocalist to a USB interface.
if i run an acoustic guitar thru the vocal 3 first (guitar input) and use the (guitar thru) will it let you use the reverb and chorus effects on the guitar? I'd like to run the Vocal 3 (guitar part only) on to a JamMan Looper. Be nice to have reverb and chorus if needed. Someone help...:)
@jefeller Im so sorry if my anglish bad,but remember i m not Englishman,adn i speak a lot languiges ,for that i cant speak perfect english. Maby you cant newer learned my languige and speaking English,Italian;Slovenian serb Croatian,germany,Tagalog and Indonesian languige i thinck that is ir sccssses.What do you mind?
Hello Mr. Demo i just purchased my Vocalist 3 I tried in live performance but I noticed some lines of the Harmony are out of tune EVEN the LEAD sing is not out of tune can you help me in this case.
Just for interest in the pitch correction option, is it possible to use the pitch correction without a guitar to play the chords? I noticed he said a guitar was needed with the harmonizing. Does the same rule go for pitch correction, or can you set it without a guitar?
John petermon No you can't USE Pitch fix without the guitar! The Guitar is what (fixes the pitch on your Voice) that is why the GUITAR HAS TO BE IN PERFECT TUNE !🤗🎤
Like your singing Bro. Great voice how come I never heard of you ??? Too much shite so called talent out there and there's a guy lie you who should be in their place.
Regardless of the I'll commented I've been playing solo for years because of the lack of competent musicians in a 100 mile area, yes I live in the sticks but we have great music compared to the broken record crap that seem to be popular without any real music composition involved.
what about that music im really tired of it.. every video about prosessors its country music ...baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...it sucks... what about other kinds of music..think about it...
I know you did this video to demo the vocalist live, but you helped me make up my mind on the JamMan Stereo. I was torn between the JamMan and two others I won't mention.

Absolute best demo of the Vocalist 3, trust me I e watched all of them lol. Really trippy thanks man you’re great

@mitchell797979 If you wanted to use distortion, i would recomend putting distortion after this in your pedal chain.
Words dont describe the talent of Matt Calder!...Im blown away everytime i see his vids!
Thanks for an extremely helpful, well done demo Matt! i have a TC Helicon, and a Boss, and this VoiceLive3 follows your melodies better than the others. i learned this from your great demo with trills and nuances in your very good voice. Thanks!
I have Two Vocalist 3 for gigging...! Solid Pedal...!! Works great! Can't Get These Anymore...!

I just bought that and it gives me some wild ideas
What a crackin singer !
Really enjoyed that demo :0)
Wow, what a great singer!

your voice is so strong its beautiful
Here I am 11 years later having found one at an auction......... and it works just fine. It's pretty fun to mess around with. I don't know that I would invest in one new... but it's fun.
Great demo and performance.
Great voice! and very good demo thanks!
sounds very processed but in a busy bar full of half pissed sing alongers the harmonies sound sublime to them and add a good dimension to any gig.
congratulations..your voice is PROFI ...nothingelse as profi...
Great to see the Seagull. Amazing guitars. I play nothing but....Cheers
As a single performer, using the Digital Vocalist Live 3 is EXTREMELY important to getting a full sound along with other gadgets I use.
As a fellow solo performer, I'd love to know what kind of gadgets you are using, if you are open to telling me.
nice demo/singing.

Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated : )
Nice Guitar! I have the same one, beautiful sound
Nice voice effect
no instrument needed, but harmonies will not change pitch as demonstrated in the first part of the demo
In other words, I need a way to get the guitar signal into the Vocalist to control the harmonies, but turn the Thru on/off depending on whether the guitar should be heard or not heard. Did Digitech think of that?
He said his name is MAtt Calder
Can anyone tell what that guitar piece is that's getting played in the background? It's at the start and at the end? Really nice
Nice background music.
Foo Fighters - "Ballad of The Beaconsfield Miners"
Well Done ! You use it to add to your Art not to cover up bad vocals , if you have a week vocals use the doubler , ,Ozzy uses a doubler 😎
Great job Matt Calder. How can I contact you? Interested in doing a house concert in No. Michigan or No. Wisconsin?

Guitar has beautiful sound....Does someone knows the name
***** Thank you very much..... :-)....I'll try to find it here in serbia....oce more ....THANK YOU
Thatsitband11111 It looks like a seagull artist series. They are known for that seagull inlay at the 12th fret typically.
Thanks ..I have to order it from canada
in the tail end of the video, he says "Im Matt Caulder", dont know if thats the correct spelling, but thats what he says
Wow, the Live 3 really makes for a rich stong harmony. I am not a musician but have a serious singing bug and sing with soundtracks (karaoke singer). Would the Live 3 help me to have some harmony which I want on some older group songs or does it only work with a guitar or other instrument as you showed here?
Can you do looping in the Digitech Vocalist live 3
Can you mute the guitar bypass for a capella harmonies that require different chords and keys?
HEY...can you help me how I can connect both of these toys? Vocalist 3 and Jamman Stereo?
I would llike to see this demo with SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD then you might convice me. he he
Hola, alguien sabe el nonbre de la cancion al final?
Hi, how do you connect these two pedals together? What connections, inputs and outputs go where? I cant tell from the video! Thanks
Did they quiet down the buttons? Vocalist 5 buttons were loud when you play with acoustic guitar.
Thanks for the video! I have this harmonizer and the button at the bottom right (the one that turns on the harmonizing effect) does not stay pressed. It only works when I keep holding it down. Do you know why that is and how to solve this?
thas really cool. would this work for electirc guitar with a heavy distorsion?
The one thing I'm curious about is instead of using a guitar or digital piano to set the harmony voices, could you instead use a dry audio signal from a karaoke CD for example on the guitar thru-patch so you wouldn't get feedback into main audio?
James Barrow james, did you find the answer? I was wondering the same, what about plaing piano meanwhile? I also would like to sing in the silence

Note to all. If you have a bad voice, the harmonies won't sound good either.
Can this be used with an inverter 1500w Dc 12v to AC 240v, to make it portable as needed to power effect vocal pedal, that is run on electric.
Thanking you in advance.
Can you connect 2 DigiTech Vocalist 3 together using 1 electric guitar, an amp that goes to the mixer?
How well do this work with those of us that play finger style guitar? I do a lot of Chet Atkins, Jim Croce etc.

Yes, the effects (chorus, delay, reverb) can be used on the guitar too. 👍
i just want to know what the songs were he was singing
Can you control the amount of the level of the harmony effect? Too, make it more distant?
very similar to the Sweetwater demo, but actually better. You sound good man, although I'm not sure I like the Digitech product.
Anyone know what the last song is that he sang?
@jefeller Im so sorry if my anglish bad,but remember i m not Englishman,adn i speak a lot languiges ,for that i cant speak perfect english. Maby you cant newer learned my languige and speaking English,Italian;Slovenian serb Croatian,germany,Tagalog and Indonesian languige i thinck that is ir sccssses.What do you mind?
can you use it for wind instruments such as a flute??
what is the last song's name???
He is cute
Sounds digitally.
Wow, that sounds really great. Can I borrow your voice too? :)
Hi, Can anyone help to decide between digitech voicelive 3, tc helicon voicelive play and the digitech voicelive harmony fx?
Thnks
tc helicon voicelive play and vl3x - excellent
To answer the question below on the guitar he's playing, it's a Seagull Artist series and was hand made in Canada. I have the same guitar.
Hello Mr. Demo i just purchased my Vocalist 3 I tried in live performance but I noticed some lines of the Harmony are out of tune EVEN the LEAD sing is not out of tune can you help me in this case.
Check your jack
What was the last song you played ???
Does anybody know who this guy is? Or at least a recording of that last song?
I play 12 string - would this cause any problems?
I didn't know rob lowe used digitech stuff
Just for interest in the pitch correction option, is it possible to use the pitch correction without a guitar to play the chords? I noticed he said a guitar was needed with the harmonizing. Does the same rule go for pitch correction, or can you set it without a guitar?
John petermon No you can't USE Pitch fix without the guitar! The Guitar is what (fixes the pitch on your Voice) that is why the GUITAR HAS TO BE IN PERFECT TUNE !🤗🎤
Could I plug my keyboard into this instead of a guitar?
What is the Song at the end. Is that an original?
Only works with guitar? What about piano?
He sounds like Cat Stevens singing!
Backup female voice on this thing sound like Dolly Parton...Just saying
Great demo. But I would prefer to hear your voice without all the digital junk.
5:09 great sound.
Like your singing Bro.
Great voice how come I never heard of you ???
Too much shite so called talent out there and there's a guy lie you who should be in their place.
Regardless of the I'll commented I've been playing solo for years because of the lack of competent musicians in a 100 mile area, yes I live in the sticks but we have great music compared to the broken record crap that seem to be popular without any real music composition involved.
It still doesn't sound like real harmonies to me. More like a vocal effect. Its an okay piece of gear, but I'm not sold on the harmony sound.
His vocals sound better without it, why do all these pedals sound so damn processed!
Because they're processers ?
Caroline Jamieson I'm still waiting for a harmonizer that doesn't sound so weird. I'd rather just use a looper.
Because they are!
LIKE TOO MUCH
i m angry you speak to much sing you sing you good nice voice
guitar too loud,harmonies too soft,are you selling guitar yourself or effects.????
It sounds horrible..Disappointing as i would like one.
Nope
3 minute of talking
why the stupid music on the background!!!!!!
this sounds awful
what about that music im really tired of it.. every video about prosessors its country music ...baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...it sucks... what about other kinds of music..think about it...
don't play the beatles.
Alguien podria decirme como se lla el cable o la entrada del microfono... es plug o speakon..
