TC-Helicon MIC MECHANIC 2 User Manual

1. Controls
(1) ECHO knob selects the type and amount of echo eect on your voice.
Adjusting the knob within your preferred echo style determines how loud
the echoes will be. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise turns the echo
eect o . There are 3 types of echo available:
• • Tape – simulates the warm sound of analog tape echo
• • Digital – creates a pristine, exact replication of the original signal
• • Slap – creates a single, quick echo eect
(2) REVERB knob selects the type and amount of reverb eect on your voice.
The 3 types of reverb appear in order from the smallest space (Room) to
the largest (Hall). Adjusting the knob within your preferred reverb space
determines how pronounced the eect will be. Turning the knob fully
counterclockwise turns the reverb o.
(3) CORRECTION knob adjusts the amount of pitch correction. With the knob
at the center 12:00 position, the eect will provide subtle pitch support
without noticeable or unnatural artifacts. Turn the knob all the way up for a
more aggressive eect, or fully counterclockwise to turn the eect o.
(4) BATTERY LED indicates the battery level, with green showing full life,
yellow being partial life, and red to alert that the batteries should be
changed.

noise gate. “Normal” and “Less Bright” settings can be toggled by holding
the Tone button and pressing the footswitch.

not aect the Tone status.
