I have two. I carry an identical setup TCPA in my bag to every gig. If my entire board fails, I have the TCPA and power adapter to save the day. It will gt me through any gig in a pinch. I recommend getting a backup unit... just in case.
Sorry for the helicon...but to be honest, I can't wait to see how you'll use and set up your ve 500. I have the same setup so I'm sure I'll learn new things about it from you
I use the ve 22 with my RC 600.. see you jinxed yourself.. I remember when you were building a paddle board and you were talking about how much you loved that pedal .. Murphy's law took over
@@JohnPaulMusicUK YES it was brand new. They are like a needle in a haystack. Prices are all over the map as well. Looking into TC it seems to me like Behringer has acquired them. I'm curious if the voice algorithm/tech is maybe coming to some of their gear soon.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK yeah :) as most other companies found themselves in, parts shortage has meant a bit of rethinking on several products and equals production delays and then the move to Denmark from Canada also took time. But rest assured the popular TCH products will be back at dealers, even if it takes a bit more time!
I was looking into the VE 500 but decided to get the RC 600 thinking the it could do most of what I want from the VE 500. What does the VE 500 give you that the RC 600 doesn’t?
The big one for me is auto harmony. So being able to play a chord and the tc helicon and the ve-500 would follow you. One of the setups I would have is ‘up and down’ which would give you a third up and a fourth down whilst singing. This means you don’t have to set a key and just play naturally. Playing in DADGAD as well as normal tuning, this is very handy and time saving. Other are things like octave down and radio and long halls which, you are right could be done with the RC-600. But nice to have a dedicated machine as well.. but the big thing was harmonies.
