Hamonizer Pedal

[BluesMan335]

I'm looking for a harmonizer pedal that I can plug a guitar into and will give human voice harmonies from single note guitar playing. I know some can do it based on guitar chords, but I'm wanting it for more. Suggestions?

TC Helicon Voice Live - there are a couple that will do this, at least I'm pretty sure. There is I believe an acoustic and an electric version, those would be what you want.

It is always good with a chord - but I believe my Vocal voice can do it from say just a bass note or fundamental.

Look into those. Don't know that I've done it with a note, but I believe you can set it for the key/scale you want.

You want the sound to not be guitar, but human voice? Like a choir sample?

If you want a guitar to give harmonized voices you will likely need two things: 1) a harmonizer 2) a pedal that converts the sound into voice

For 1)
I'm unsure why you would want a harmonizer instead of playing chords but in any case the EHX Intelligent Harmony Machine or the Boss PS6 should do it


For 2) likely something like the EHX Mel9 is the best you can do unless you go the vocoder / talk box route

I want the guitar sound as normal, along with harmonized human voice(s), like background vocals.

Some pedals give harmonized background vocals to a lead singer for a fuller sound. I'm wanting to get those harmonized voices with a guitar.

Oh - you want a to play three notes on the guitar, say E F# G, and get the Harmonizer to generate human voices for those notes in say a Major 3rd and a 5th?

Run an Eventide into a talk box.

(yes, I'm kidding, but theoretically that would work... if, and only if... you could stand that "wah wah wah wahhhh")

Wait a minute....is there maybe a Korg Miku solution here?

That would involve some type of pitch to midi guitar interface and a Vocoder

No problem requires a Miku solution.

Korg MS2000 is the GOAT

A GR-55 Guitar Synth can do that.

Exactly. Since I have an awful singing voice and shouldn't be anywhere near a microphone, I want a pedal to generate it's own human voices based on single notes I play.

Wait a sec... this guy is looking for a HAMonizer pedal. Says so in the title.

Can't say I'm familiar with pork product pedals.

Run a mic through an Eventide (Pitchfactor or H9) - or slather Eventide on your vocals from the board.

Or similar pedal.

One of my bandmates had a cheap stompbox that was for vocals and did something similar, but I don't remember the name nor brand.

Ummm, yeah, uhhh, no.

I do not know of anything that will actually throw out actual human harmonies in intervals using a human voice generated above a guitar note.

Securb had the best answer. You'll need to sample and all kinds of wacky things, and then I doubt it will sound that good. Sample is only as good as the original sample. Exactly what context are you trying to use this?

My suggestion: Take vocal lessons. You'll be glad you did.

Somewhere, sometime, one does. Don't know where or when. Just raising the question. One day, perhaps, we will know...even if not today. Or in my lifetime.

Read the OP's posts and take your own advice:

There's a great big world of gear out there that you have yet to experience, grasshoppa.

That would only return a single note making it impossible to build basic chords. Also, the pitch of the Eventide would be a fixed pitch greatly limiting the intervals that could be used in a single song or performance.
