TC Helicon PLAY ACOUSTIC 3-Button Vocal and Acoustic Guitar Effects Stompbox with BodyRez and Looping

This pedal is a game changer for acoustic performers. Vocal effects sound crystal clear, harmonies are natural, and guitar processing adds beautiful warmth to the sound. Setup is simple, the interface is intuitive, and the build quality inspires confidence. I especially like how the reverb and harmony automatically adapt to my guitar chords. It really makes solo performances sound full and professional. If you sing and play guitar, this device will take your live sound to a new level. It's worth it!

This is an outstanding piece of gear.. what it does it does extremely well. 1. Acoustic guitar tone. TC have mimic'd the resonance of the body of an acoustic guitar in some way.. there are 5 basic acoustic "models" to start with, and each has quite some degree of flexibility in tone. bottom line is a MAJOR improvement in acoustic tone from a piezo based guitar. 2. Mic tone With doing nothing at all, there is an adaptive tone, de-esser and compressor added to your vocals. instant improvement. 3. transparent pitch correct based upon key detection from guitar (or aux) input.. Not saying you cannot sing, but having 50% level is transparent and very effective. 4. programmable harmonies based upon key & chord detection. 5. tuner and looper...15 sec with undo/redo thats kinda it... there are a bunch of presets that you can change store recall for song sepcific setups.. but not these are predominantly dor the vocal tone/harmony/effect.. you effectively have ONE acoustic guitar tone... but then again.. thats all most need This is a great deal, offers a lot, and finally you can play your acoustic amplified without cringing over the tone.

Get it. It’s amazing. Great value especially at this price

Love the BodyRez feature 🤘 very good voice tones and selections too.

I bought the play acoustic over a year ago. Really more out of curiosity. I’m not a professional performer by any measure but have been playing the guitar, both acoustic and electric for over two decades and have recently gotten interested with doing acoustic versions of songs purely as a hobby. I was looking for effects pedals specific for acoustic guitars. I’ve had my fair share of electric pedal boards having gone thru several boss and zoom multi-effects units. What I really enjoy about the play acoustic is its very intuitive user interface. Right out of the box, I found it quite easy to navigate thru the various menus for vocal, guitar, overall mix and specific genre sections. It also appears to be built quite tough. The metal chasis body and the almost automotive paint finish gives the unit a truly rugged but elegant look. The out of the box presets are quite enjoyable as well. I’ve yet to fully explore the presets but I’ve quickly identified vocal presets that are quick favorites. The guitar effects is basically chorus, delay (echo), reverb, and Body Rez (Compressor) and is more than sufficient to customize one’s guitar tone. Tuner and built in looper is present as well. Although from a looping perspective, I’m still reliant on my Boss RC 30 for any looping as the play acoustic has a somewhat limited max loop time. The power of the play acoustic is in its vocal harmonization capabilities and the possibilities is only limited by your imagination and the amount of time you’d spend fiddling with it. Definitely happy with the purchase and Tc Helicon that I purchased the switch 6 foot switch which adds some latitude to move around as the TRS cable allows you to position the foot switch at a distance from the main unit if needed.

I love it waiting for external pedal but I find this product for me amazing I can't wait to preform out with it still a little more research to do online how to customize my harmony and effects but there pre programs are still amazing

I have two TCHELICON. I use one with my recording equipment and the other at my music jobs. I plug my microphone in and use settings to give my voice a little assist with sound quality. Mostly reverb. Fairly easy to figure out how to use.

I am a pro player and I had a TC Play GTX, which was an older similar model, and very good, but started acting up after 3 years and a couple hundred gigs. I didn't feel like messing with it and trying to fix it, it was well used so I just wanted to replace it, but it's no longer a current model. I assumed most of the features would be the same on the Play Acoustic once the firmware was updated, but you only have access to reverb and delay as far as effects go. I like to add a little boost and overdrive for rock solos, a little tremolo for ambient and surf music, etc., yes, on my acoustic guitar (I play a Godin Multiac nylon which has a thin body like an electric, doesn't feed back, so I have a lot of freedom to use effects) and this device doesn't allow that. It does have "body modeling" which I was excited to try, but does away with most other effect modules. This does make some nice acoustic tones, I suppose if I dug around enough I could have found a way to have a clean boost, but still just not enough versatility for what I do. If you don't upgrade the firmware you only have one global guitar tone, so changing patches only changes vocal effect/harmony. Almost the exact opposite of what I want, I only use one or 2 vocal effects with light harmony for choruses, but like to vary my guitar tone and volume more actively. Even with the firmware update it's far from what I was used to with the GTX. I used it on one gig and found the harmony tracking not to be as good as the GTX either, I hope that's not the case with the Play Electric, which I just ordered to replace this Play Acoustic, which I returned after 1 gig. I really hope the harmonizer quality hasn't gone down on these new models, the harmony quality was my original reason to go with TC. If you want a VERY acoustic tone, this device will probably do the trick for you, if not, look elsewhere. Discussions on the TC forums show that several acoustic players like the Play Electric so hopefully that will replace the GTX more ably.

ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Muy bueno, funciona perfecto. Recomiendo.

Gayet güzel. Tabii bunların daha yeni versiyonları da var elbette. Benim gibi amatör düzeyde şakıyan bir insan evladıysanız her şekilde işinizi görür. Kullanımı kolay, efektler keyifli.

Nada más abrirlo lo conecté al PC para una actualización de 30 a 60 segundos de Loop. Me falta explorarlo más. Vengo de un Critical Mass de la misma marca, más sencillo, pero que iba muy bien y quiero replicarlo en este. Este, además, tiene armonías vocales, varias reverbs, etc. Efectos para la acústica, que si la conectas pues las armonías van acorde con lo que tocas. El cacharro es un pepino,y además está muy bien construido (parece una tanquecito). No me doy 5 estrellas por dos cosas: 1 creo que podría venir preparado para funcionar con pilas y 2 no tiene botón de apagado. Son dos tonterías quizá.

Génial, mais attention y a pas de maj de la bête depyis des années si vous êtes une quiche en informatique ca va etre complique de l'utiliser avec votre pc. Mais si vous passez pas par l'ordi, que vous gérez tout sur sa propre interface.... ben si y a rien de mieux depyis 10 ans c’est bien qu’il y a une raison. Une pédale géniale. Des effets propres. Même poir la guitare acoustique. Ce que j'entends avec ma guitare est top. Ce que j'entends avec la pédale... ça le sublime
