A tidy, boxed example of the TC Helicon Mic Mechanic. A cracking vocal processing pedal that'll cover most bases you'd need in a performance.
Reverb
The Mic Mechanic 2 features an easy-to-use interface with control options for Reverb, Echo and Correction. The Reverb section includes Room, Studio and Hall, and allows you to add a variety of effects to your voice. As well as complementing your performance, Reverb allows your voice to fit perfectly with the music, for the ultimate sound.
Echo
Echo adds repeats to your vocals, and can be timed with the music. You can benefit from adding lots of repeats to your vocals, and can even set the tap tempo using the footswitch to match the song tempo.
Pitch Correction
As well as offering Reverb and Echo effects, the Mic Mechanic 2 is also equipped with Transparent auto-chromatic pitch correction, which subtly alters your pitch to the nearest semitone if you are slightly out-of-key. This is an ideal tool for live performances when you want to sound your best.
Roadworthy Design
Finally, no pedal would be complete without a roadworthy chassis, and easy-to-use interface. The Mic Mechanic 2 features a rugged all-metal construction with a basic three-knob layout. Its compact size means it will easily fit on any pedalboard.
