Just an addition, after having read Marks excellent review. I realised I wasn't specific about what I thing is good in the box, so here are the two aspects I like in it and use it for: #1: The harmoniser choir layering function from an analog multi voice controller signal. This means I can sing a note into the mic as I play a chord on one of my Stick fretboards and the VoiceLive2 reads the Stick/guitar chord and applies a handful harmoniser generated chore chord voices. This works even with clusters and dissonant chords. This function makes it a fun tool for improvisational music. #2: The other thing I think it does well is the instant EQ, compression and feedback blocking. This makes it possible to use distorted voice (or any acoustic instrument) as a sort of lead instrument. Feedback can still happen, but without the VL2 distorted mic sound would net even be an option in a live situation.
