TC-Helicon Critical Mass Gang Vocals
Effects Pedal
TC-Helicon has released the Critical Mass, a new choir
and gang vocals stomp box. It is designed to inject
atmosphere into a live vocal performance.
The pedal features a metal chassis designed to
withstand the rigors of touring, with three styles of
reverb and Adaptive Tone (equalization) to automatically
clean up the microphone. The stomp box features four
gang and four melodic choir styles, including Unison,
Octave Up, Octave Down, and Up and Down, which helps
eliminate the need for backing tracks. The Critical Mass
can be powered by AA batteries or a 9-V power supply.
