TC Helicon VOICELIVE3 Vocal & Guitar Effects Flr Pedal

The VoiceLive 3 is a pedal clearly designed for live use. The bulk of the body is taken up by a selection of ten footswitches, evenly spaced apart and each surrounded by a ring of lights so you can see which are active at a glance. It’s 35 cm (13.8 inches) wide and 21.6 cm (8.5 inches) back to front, so definitely a sizable unit, but when you consider the selection of effects and features on the pedal it really doesn’t take up much space at all compared to the number of stompboxes you’d need.

The overall design of the VoiceLive 3 is really easy to get to grips with. The footswitches occupy the bottom, and the top has the control panel, with an LCD display screen in the middle, four adjustment dials below it, six buttons to the left, one button to the right and a large control knob beside it. When you’re playing, you can work solely with the footswitches provided you’ve set everything up using the fine controls on the upper level first.
