The TC Helicon Singles VoiceTone E1 is a single-button stompbox for vocal echo effects, made by TC Helicon. It is a single-stomp delay and echo pedal voiced specifically for the human voice, rather than for guitar, and TC Helicon describes it as the simplest way to add a studio-grade vocal delay to a live rig1.
What it does
The E1 sits in TC Helicon's VoiceTone Singles line, a range of compact vocal pedals built like guitar stompboxes so a singer can switch effects with a foot during a performance. Where a guitar delay is tuned for an instrument's frequencies, the E1's delay and echo styles are voiced for the human voice1.
Four styles are available and can easily be selected: Slapback, Echo, Tap Echo and FX. Each selected style is then tuned with two controls, Feedback and Analog2.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Style selection | Switches between Slapback, Echo, Tap Echo and FX styles2 |
| Feedback | Tunes the repeats of the selected style2 |
| Analog | Tunes the character of the selected style2 |
The E1 was announced with shipping worldwide in summer 20112.
