Detail 01
Adaptive tone processing

TC HeliconVoiceTone Single T1 Adaptive Tone & Dynamics Effects Pedal
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Automatic vocal tone shaping — EQ, compression, de-essing and gate — in one stompbox. For singers who want a mixed-sounding vocal without a soundperson.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Solo or duo gigs where nobody is riding the board
- Singers plugging straight into a PA or powered speaker
- Open-mic players who get no soundcheck
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bands with an engineer already compressing and EQing the vocal
- Singers who want manual control over every EQ band
- Anyone needing reverb, delay or harmony — this pedal makes none
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
XLR mic in and XLR out
Sits between the mic and the snake, so it works with any board or powered speaker. No line-level adapter needed.
Detail 03
Mic input range down to -42 dBu
Enough gain range for quiet dynamic mics as well as hot condensers.
Detail 04
Separate guitar input at 1 megohm
You can run a guitar through it too without loading down passive pickups.
Detail 05
Better than 104 dB dynamic range
Headroom for a loud belted note without clipping the box before the PA sees it.
Detail 06
0.92 lb, 3.5 x 5.4 inches
Small enough for a corner of a pedalboard or a mic-stand tray. Easy to carry as a backup box.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs external power — plan for the supply and a free outlet
- 02No reverb, delay, harmony or pitch effects in this box
- 03Phantom power for a condenser mic has to come from this pedal or your board
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I have to set anything up before a gig?
Not much. It reads your mic and voice and applies tone, compression, de-essing and gating on its own. Set your mic gain and go.
02Can I use it with a condenser mic?
Yes, as long as the mic gets phantom power. Confirm the pedal supplies it or feed the mic from a board that does.
03Does it add reverb?
No. This one only does tone and dynamics. Reverb has to come from your mixer or another pedal.
04Will it work with an acoustic guitar?
There's a separate 1 megohm guitar input, so a passive pickup won't be loaded down. The processing is voiced for vocals though.
