Is there any reason this couldn't be used as a vocal tuner (alto through bass)? Thanks a lot!

I believe it would work. I tried it, and it does show whether you are are sharp or flat. I don't think it would work for a group. Hope this helps.

Hi, Unfortunately I do not know. I purchased it expressly to do guitar work. It does have a mic so I would think it would do fine. However. I believe it may be more suited to stringed instruments. that is a question best answered by Peterson. I am sure if this is not the right tuner for you, that they make something high quality and geared specifically for you.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for a singer. Its got a mic input and fully customizable eq. Plus you can add a variety of fix to vocals. Sounds great on highs and lows.

Yes, I've used it to tune 4, 5, and 6 string basses. The tuner is a chromatic style tuner and should handle any instrument. I use the 12th fret harmonic to tune with.

I think it works quite well for singers. In fact, our band's singer used this exclusively for quite awhile. We even used it at some small venues (bars) with no problems. It has a built-in EQ to get the right vocal tone and many of the effects are intended for vocal use as well. The unit has several inputs, so it would probably be great for a singer/songwriter type that wants to perform with an amplified instrument like a guitar or keyboard. The first input is intended for a dynamic mic and has an XLR input. The others are quarter inch.

Though I have not checked it on an oscilloscope, it seems to be in tune with other A440 instruments. It would be utterly bizarre to produce a tuning device that is not the A440 standard unless it were designed to give variable tuning to be used in historical performances (A415, A465, etc.).

I would imagine it could be but I've never used it for something like that. Condenser mics are less robust than dynamic mics so if you are rough with them they break a lot easier but they do pick up a lot more. So it might be good for choir and instruments but it also might be prone to feeding back since it's more sensitive, you would have to take care with the volume levels. Again I've never used it live so I'm sorry I can't conclusively answer your question.

I play in a country band and we use it for vocals and I run my bass guitar through it at the same time, so two vocals and my bass at the same time. Works great and I still keep the volume way down. And also the vocals sound great and can be adjusted for each thing, bass or vocals at the same time. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to carry my big amp to smaller functions and it sounds better than the big bass amp and I get vocals as well. I hope this answers some of your questions.

It's not ideal, but can be done if kept at low volumes. It is not meant to handle the lower frequencies of a bass guitar. Thank you.

I am an instrumentalist and did not purchase this for voice amplification, but I would imagine that it would do a good job of amplifying a singer's voice. If you want more specific information about this, contact me at wshade1942@aol.com

Jason I like your approach and believe it will work very well as you describe. I agree the last thing one wants is to mess up the other music or instruments signals. Remember to first do what you can avoid microphone feedback. This unit can mess up you voice signal as well. We like our FBQ1000 and use it on every gig.

I'm afraid I can't really answer. I bought it to tune the harp and was told I need the little clip on mic to pick up the tune when I have it clipped to the harp. I have not used it for anything else.

I see no reason why you couldn't if set up properly. I am a singer and it works beautifully, I have a friend who is a professional bass player in a rock band and has used this for years and the reson I purchased it was from his recommendation.

I think it would be fine for vocals. you can dial all sorts of different reverb times so a nice cathedral sound would be awesome on vocals. Depending the song of course. Even if you want to get crazy use the shimmer effect on her voice. I'll bet that would sound bad ass.

I don't see why not. It has all the octaves to cover alto & bass and everything is calibrated to A440. It just might work pretty well. Good luck!Carl

I've been using it for a few months now. It's MUCH better suited to instruments than voice. I bought it to record my radio show and podcast, but it picks up so much ambient noise, it's just not meant for it. But it's good quality for music.

Hm, probably not too well. This microphone is designed as a mic for a tuner. It works great to plug directly into a tuner. it's OKAY to use as a contact microphone for amplification if you don't have any other options. I purchased it as a backup for just in case my classical guitar pickup goes out during the middle of a gig and I need amplification. The sound you'll get out of it is not very good, because isn't designed for that. But with a lot of EQ work, you can still get a decent sound at a very cheap price. I recommend keep looking around for a better mic for your bass, but if you have a little extra cash lying around, then it's definitely worth picking this one up to have a mediocre spare and just to see how it works.
