Vocal pitch correction pedal
The TC Helicon VoiceTone C1 adds studio-grade pitch correction and HardTune effects to live vocal performances. Singers select the musical key manually or derive it from a guitar input for automatic tracking. A gender knob shifts formant character from subtle to alien textures. Rugged die-cast construction with a rubberised base withstands stage use.
Chaining expands the vocal chain
The pedal links with other VoiceTone Singles and the Ditto Mic Looper to build a custom effects chain without extra mixers. Mic Control enables remote on/off switching when paired with the TC-Helicon MP-75 microphone. Footswitch and Mic Control toggles let the performer engage correction or HardTune instantly during a song.
XLR I/O and phantom power set the limits
Balanced XLR microphone input accepts levels from -42 dBu to +1 dBu at 0 dBFS with an EIN of -126 dBu at 150 Ohm and SNR exceeding 104 dB. Phantom power is fixed at 24 V and always active, so dynamic or ribbon mics requiring different voltages need external handling. No digital audio interface or MIDI control is provided.

Questions about this item
Will the XLR microphone input need any gain adjustment over time?
The mic input accepts -42 dBu to +1 dBu at 0 dBFS with >104 dB SNR and EIN of -126 dBu at 150 Ohm, so gain staging stays consistent without periodic recalibration.
What limits continuous operation first — thermal or electrical?
The die-cast metal chassis and rubberised base dissipate heat passively; with 24 V phantom power always on and no fan, thermal limits are reached before electrical headroom.
How much noise or heat does the pedal produce when left on all day?
Phantom power stays on at 24 V, yet the unit draws minimal current and runs silently with no moving parts, so all-day use adds negligible heat or audible hiss.
