It's possible that the Harmony foot switch has become damaged or faulty. One thing you could try is to unplug the pedal from power, disconnect the footswitch from the unit, and then reconnect it to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't work, it could be a more serious issue that requires repair or replacement of the footswitch. You may want to try contacting Digitech customer support to see if they have any troubleshooting suggestions or if they can provide guidance on where to find a service agent in your area.
The amp or pre-amp for the vocals built into the unit is failing when it gets warm. This is a common problem with electronics, that when it cools down cures itself until it warms up again a few seconds later.
The units need repair or replacement.
Sounds like the mic you are using requires "Phantom Power." This means, you will likely have to purchase an external unit for this power (+48V) power to the unit. I use a Behringer Ultra-Voice Pro for mine. Works great!! You can find these on Ebay at a steal!
The circuitry is quite complex inside these units and-so If it's a broken wire then MAYBE you could repair it, but if it's one of the multitude of 10 to 40 pinned surface-mounted IC's...well, good luck.
You need to check the actual signal levels to make sure they are within the specs for the unit. The mic input is low impedance. Your mic should be like a Shure SM58 or equivalent. The output is fairly high... up to +14DB which will require you to turn down the trims on a mixer this runs into or set a -20Db pad at the input. I suspect your distortion is from the device output to the mixer input. It is VERY important that the mic does NOT "hear" the speakers as the feedback loop resulting will be mass distortion. The guitar should also not "hear" the mains.
NO power light or audio from Digitech Vocalist 2 live. Check that your power adapter is for 9 Volts AC (not DC like most pedals) and is rated at 1300ma or more. A DC adapter MAY light up the unit but not make it pass audio. Lights can be lit but that is NOT an indication thaat correct power is applied. They likely use the AC input to generate both positive and negative voltage within the unit. The use of a DC adapter will prevent generating one of these required voltages and prevent audio from passing.
I know you hate this answer, but it needs to be repaired. It has a circuit board inside, and there's really not a work-around. But it is broken. I totally understand about not wanting to send your gear out, especially if it's a pedal board you have set just right, and are completely usweed to using. You'll be a lot happier with it if you get it fixed though. Or find another one on eBay. I sold all me Digitech pedals when I got my Pod - but that's just me, I use a lot of distortions and it fit the bill better for me. I used Digitech pedals for about 20 years and thought I would hate anything else.
Hi there. Use the "pan" pots to assign the guitar to left channel and all other pans to right channel. Also, turn all effects off or down all the way. (Effects return all the way down. Thanks Paul
your are needing to push a button that will stop a by pass. Which one ,I can not point two something I can not see. your EQ is off . try process of elimination you will find it. all so take notes as to what you have tried it makes it easeyer . I put a little pice of tape on buttons so I can remember what to push . You will get the nack of it after some fooling around. try getting a manual. youcan get them free from the MAnufacture on line.just download. good luck DFD
