After a little deliberation and experimentation it didn't take long to realize that the sound of the guitar and the vocal were being affected by bleedthrough and regeneration of their respective signals back through the vocal mic. I knew that the potential of the L1 was huge so I set out to find a solution to this particular problem. | After a little deliberation and experimentation it didn't take long to realize that the sound of the guitar and the vocal were being affected by bleedthrough and regeneration of their respective signals back through the vocal mic.

Using these techniques helped improve things incrementally but were not a 100% fix, even when I tried them all at once. | Using these techniques helped improve things incrementally but were not a 100% fix, even when I tried them all at once. | ||

I thought I would post it here in case it might benefit someone else, especially those of you that are using a harmonizer and occasionally getting wobbly harmonies that are not a result of your voice ( guitar bleed thru will do that to a harmonizer ). | ||

# I am using a TC Helicon Voicelive ( for harmonies ) as an insert on the vocal channel. So, I used it to add compression to the vocal channel. This boosted the vocal volume considerably and allowed me to turn the vocal channel down from 2 o'clock to 10 o'clock ( on the remote ). This had the effect of reducing the sensitivity of the vocal channel while still retaining a strong and powerful vocal volume and performance. | # I am using a [http://www.tc-helicon.com/VoiceLive TC Helicon Voicelive] ( for harmonies ) as an insert on the vocal channel.

It is the best sounding mic I have tried to date through the L1™, in my humble opinion ) | ||
