Great product and very useful. Review: dead on arrival - Not so much an desertcart critique but a reflection on TC Helicon/Musictribe. Recieved a brand new, unopened unit that was DOA. I wasn't sure if there was something wrong with it, or something wrong with the person trying to operate it. I attempted to contact the manufacturer for advice on the unit after downloading and reading the owners manual. Their website is set up very effectively to deflect and deter this sort of activity. There's not even a web chat option. The only option is to 1. register an account, with more questions than most companies would ask, and they were pretty invasive and 2. create a ticket on more of this awful website, which was obviously designed for employees and a terrible cheap low-cost country front end built for it so they don't have to have pay any employees to actually, like, deal with customers. In TC Helicon's defense, if I knew they were in the Musictribe "family" I honestly wouldn't have even bought the thing. Fortunately, I don't usually have problems with desertcart, and they're taking it back. I'd love to tell you the thing was good, or not-so-good, in this review, but unfortunately, all I can rate it as is "Broken," with a heaping helping of crappy modern corporate customer service. 0/10 can rant all day ## Features - Studio vocal tone without the hassle - High quality multi-band EQ - Smoothing compressor & De-Esser - Chains to additional VoiceTone singles - Mic-Control on/off with TC-Helicon MP-75 Mic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HMQ1D06 | | Amperage | 0.4 milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Compression | | Best Sellers Rank | #40,171 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #27 in Vocal Effects Processors | | Brand | TC Helicon | | Brand Name | TC Helicon | | Color | black | | Connector Type | XLR | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 101 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04033653081078, 05706622011916 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Vocal Effects Processor, Microphone | | Item Dimensions | 2.3 x 3.5 x 5.4 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.3"L x 3.5"W x 5.4"H | | Item Type Name | VOICETONE T1 Vocal Effects Processor | | Item Weight | 14.72 ounces | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe US | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0DE3 | | Model Name | VoiceTone Single T1 | | Model Number | VOICETONE T1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | USB Powered | | Product Dimensions | 2.3"L x 3.5"W x 5.4"H | | Set Name | VOICETONE T1 | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 12 | | Warranty Description | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TC Helicon - **Style:** Compact - **Product Dimensions:** 2.3"L x 3.5"W x 5.4"H - **Item Weight:** 14.72 ounces - **Voltage:** 12 ## Images ![TC Helicon VOICETONE T1 Single-Button Stompbox for Studio Mastered Vocal Tone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JnRjnIMtL.jpg) ![TC Helicon VOICETONE T1 Single-Button Stompbox for Studio Mastered Vocal Tone - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sDhuwXwpL.jpg) ![TC Helicon VOICETONE T1 Single-Button Stompbox for Studio Mastered Vocal Tone - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IX5x99JIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it have an output limiter for smoother vocal recording?** A: That is part of the system. It is a bit confusing to work with. You have to play around with it. It also has one of the dials that give you a crispy sound that is popular these days. I have decided to do without this unit since I think I have better vocal control "naked". There is nothing that can beat improving your voice, finding the right tone yourself, and having a decent mic and a decent amp. Then post production even garage band will have more options than this unit for sound quality. There are so many factors that go into getting good vocal sound live, I think this unit might just make it more complex rather than less. There is nothing that can beat singing better. Hope this helps. **Q: will garageband recognize my mic if I connect the pedal to my laptop?** A: Since you route the microphone signal directly into the TC Helicon pedal, if you can get the signal from the pedal into an 'audio interface' (i.e. Mbox, Focusrite, etc).. then sure it will work just fine. You do have to have an external audio interface to plug the microphone into. http://www.amazon.com/Digidesign-Audio-Interface-Macintosh-Windows/dp/B0002EJV72/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1452621973&sr=8-14&keywords=Mbox **Q: I have a Gemini 15 inch Bluetooth speaker with mic karaoke speaker no reverb will this work to add vocal effects?** A: No reverb or chorus on this. You might be better off with a box that has at least those two effects. **Q: I can tell no difference when I dial the knobs, and only a small difference with warmth. Is this thing bad?** A: I initially had the same impression since the documentation totally stinks. I played around and figured it out (mostly). TL;DR - If the Mic Gain on the side of the unit isn't high enough to make the Input Level LED light green, you won't trigger the unit's magic. Details: This Shape processor is "adaptive", so it basically alters it's behavior whenever it gets a signal. So the Input Level LED is critical to keep an eye on, since if it's not lighting green, your signal may not be sufficient to trigger the processing. You need to put the Mic Gain up on the unit and then lower the gain at your pre-amp/mixer. If you sing a constant tone at a low volume (where the Green LED never lights), and mess with the Shape knob, you won't hear any difference. But if you sing louder, you'll hear the signal get brighter when the Shape knob is all the way to the right and the effect will be zero all the way to the left. If you tune the knobs when you're silent nothing will change, and then you'll hear it "kick in" and change from the previous state once you start singing. For example: Put the shape knob all the way to the right and sing a note and make sure the green light is lit some of the time. Then turn the pedal on/off you'll be able to clearly hear the change. Now, while the pedal is on sing a note and then go silent. While still silent, turn the shape knob all the way to the left. Sing a sustained note and you'll hear that it will start at the previous brightness and then "adapt" to the zero setting. I assume the compressor also needs some minimum input volume to kick in. I just got the unit so I haven't tested that extensively. But I have noticed the de-ess works very well when the knob is all the way to the right. In summary, this unit makes subtle (but not unnoticeable) changes to your voice while sounding natural, but only when your mic gain on the unit is up enough to make the green light come on most of time. NO GREEN = NO WORKY ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Allows you to control your vocal performance *by D***R on January 14, 2015* I highly recommend this tone pedal for vocal clarity and balance.

With the handful of different configurations of audio interfaces, mics and pre-amps that I've used in the past, a persistent challenge was being able to dial in a consistently good incoming vocal signal. The result of that was doing tons and tons of takes, not necessarily because the performance wasn't solid, but because my equipment wasn't always capturing takes well. Getting my current vocal mic (an M-Audio Sputnik) made significant headway, and this pedal is what finally changed that all for the better. With minimal trial and error with the pedal's settings and gain-staging on my audio interface (a Steinberg UR-44), I was able to find a sweet spot where the audio being captured is consistently fuller and more even, allowing me to focus much more on vocal performance rather than wondering if a sub-par setup will cause an otherwise good take to go to waste. If you're a singer, or if you record other singers, I can't recommend this enough. You won't find a better tool for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - TC Helicon VOICETONE T1 Single-Button Stompbox for Studio Mastered Vocal Tone - TC Helicon VOICETONE R1 Single-Button Stompbox for Studio-Quality Live Vocal Reverb - TC-Helicon VoiceTone D1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1630939-tc-helicon-voicetone-t1-single-button-stompbox-for-studio-mastered](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1630939-tc-helicon-voicetone-t1-single-button-stompbox-for-studio-mastered) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
