Review
TC Helicon adds the acoustic guitar to its already popular foot pedals for vocalist into one box. The playAcoustic is one of those products that every worship leader can benefit from by offering specific features that will serve the worship leader and the sound crew in way that will provide consistency each week. Churches often have a different sound crew each week and that can mean a different overall sound each week. With the playAcoustic, the vocals of the worship leader will sound polished, more professional and consistent. Add the newest feature from TC Helicon called BodyRez and the sound of your guitar will be smoother, filled with natural tone and is always customizable with presets and EQ. The unit has separate XLR outs for the vocal and guitar which will clean up the tuner, DI and vocal processors on stage. In addition, there is a ¼ inch AUX IN that can be used to add an MP3 player or another compatible device to the mix without a separate channel to the mixer. One of the biggest features in the playAcoustic is the ability to add reverb and harmony to the vocal. The sound tech won’t have to worry about the amount or style of reverb, it will be in the hands (foot) of the singer. The harmony feature in the foot pedal will add a little or a lot to a song. A touch of the third or fifth above can either help the other vocalists find a harmony better or add a lift to a chorus and bridge. Leading a small church or group using the playAcoustic will add professionally produced sound for both your guitar and vocals and add just enough harmony to enhance the creativity and energy of any song.
