We stopped by the TC-Helicon booth at Summer NAMM to check out the latest product in TC-Helicon's popular VoiceTone range, the Mic Mechanic, a fire-engine red little pedal that offers reverbs, delays and pitch correction for vocalists.

Designed for live use, the Mic Mechanic has a simple, easy-to-use control layout, while the Tone button enables you to apply adaptive EQ, compression, de-essing and gating.

Double-threat talent Laura Davidson, who's a wonderful singer as well as the marketing manager for TC-Helicon, showed off her impressive pipes while demoing the capabilities of the Mic Mechanic in the above video.

He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
