TC HeliconMIC MECHANIC 2 Ultra-Simple Battery-Powered Vocal Effects Stompbox with Reverb, Echo and Pitch Correction, Compatible with PC and Mac

This thing is total gift for any live performer. The automatic functions are tastefully executed and absolutely perfectly dialed in. I use this every gig (admittedly given the times we live in, that’s not many just yet) and the results have been spot on. Sound engineers have barely needed to do anything and it really offers a fantastic, versatile vocal sound. To have all that at your feet is an absolute game changer, especially for those gigs where you don’t get the benefit of an extensive sound check or none at all. Total control, repeatable and consistent excellence. Don’t hesitate to get one.

This little box of tricks is a singers paradise. So simple to operate and the effect it produces on the voice is subtle but effective. Don't operate it on batteries unless in an emergency as you will only get about a few hours out of them. Buying a power supply [which is not included] is essential. Bad move Helicon.

i bought this as I had the MK1. This though in essence the same had an annoying clipping noise on certain frequencies that couldn't be tamed by any gain change. So i got he MK2. It's great the running on batteries is useful for my battery only gigs in fields and back gardens. I do wonder whether the auto gain function is messing a few things up. Occasionally I go to the mic and the level is different. I am certain its not a compressor thing, it's way too larger difference for that and if the compressor was working that hard the feedback would be enormous. As with the Mk1 the sound shape and dynamic EQ and de essing is fantastic. I do very much prefer the Line 6 Blackstar, Roland multi functional mix knobs for Reverb and Delay level. Though whilst playing sax and singing or guitar and singing the tap delay function is a little awkward. All in all though you cannot better the sound of this unit for the money.

Complete control for the vocalist Very sturdy product well worth the money Highly recommended

It's a great addition to any performer with vocals. Excellent price of kit and easy to use.

Great product, need to buy a specific power lead which is not supplied. Will work with batteries.

My pastor said the mic’d voice with the accompanying acoustic guitar sounded great. First time he’s said that and that’s through the Mic Mechanic with delay reverb and auto settings for eq etc. great.

I bought one from GAK - there is a delay in ordering TC gear. I have owned a couple of other TC pedals but this battery powered variety is sending unusable digital garbage noise into the 1/4 jack input of PA. I've tried with a xlr to jack both balanced and unbalanced but still the same. No such problem with the older TC pedals. It works fine going xlr to xlr so i really don't know.
