The VoiceTone Single series offers simple stompboxes for singers, each offering certain features you may be familiar with from more complex VoiceTone processors. Their advantage is that you can really choose just what you need, they are easier to use and, most importantly, more affordable. Yet they offer the same quality and technical conveniences as the higher-end processors.
Specifically, the T1 model serves as a tool for working with tone color and dynamics. It incorporates a muti-band equalizer, compressor and de-esser. Of course, all signal processing is on studio quality.
Like the other VoiceTones, this model has a high-quality quiet and tonally clean mic preamp, a durable metal chassis, high-quality AD/DA converters and the same electronics as the flagship TC Helicon VoiceLive 2.
Looking at the box itself, there is a switch, two potentiometers and one button on the top. These are the Shape, Comp/De-Ess and Warmth controls. These allow you to adjust the voice color, compression and hiss elimination levels, and finally add bass frequencies without losing intelligibility.
Interestingly, the other elements are on the sides of the VoiceTone - the microphone preamp Gain control is hidden on the left, and a switch that can be used to remotely mute the microphone if you're using the TC Helicon MP-75 model. On the top, of course, there's an XLR mic input, a balanced XLR output and a USB connector with which you can connect the effect to your computer. Thanks to the VoiceSupport app, you can update the effect or find many tips and tricks.
