Purchased my first vocal effects pedal for my live performances. TC Helicon C1 - SustainPunch.

So recently I played a show in Los Angeles. I had a backing band playing behind me and before we went on to perform, during sound-check, I had noticed that the rhythm guitarist (also doing backing vocals/harmony vocals) had a few devices on the floor that were connected to his microphone, via the XLR input.

After asking him what the devices were, he told me that they were vocal processor pedals, and they had a range of uses, one of which was for EQ, Compression, Harmony, Delay, Echo and finally pitch correction.

I have used pitch correction in the studio, with my producer telling me that Antares is a great Autotune program to do minor and major pitch correction in any music key. But I had no idea that such a device could be used in a live performance setting.

My backing vocalist then told me exactly where he found the pitch correction pedal (autotune) online, explaining that he had recently done a search on google for autotune microphone, then after realising that it was a pedal that he needed, he typed in best autotune pedals for pitch correction 2017. He told me that the particular Google search led him to this website (www.SustainPunch.com) which provides vocal pedal reviews and vocal processor reviews for both studio and live singer equipment.

After taking a look at the website, I found several articles relating to different vocal effects that can be used in both studio/live, and I located the pitch correction pedal review article.

I ended up purchasing the TC Helicon C1 Autotune pedal that the article recommended, and I'm very happy with the product.
