tc electronic Quintessence Harmony

Disclaimer : it is one of my first pedals; I'm new to audio manipulations.

I am really pleased by all the modes and functionnalities of this strongly built pedal. However, big downside to me is the quality of the sound. It is not garbage but not what I expected from this pedal.

This doesn't sound like two guitar. This sounds like a guitar and what a program would think a guitar sounds like. There's kinda a bad crisp coming out, even when put alone between the guitar and amp.

I also use it with my viola whereit kinda fails to understand what's happening with the long bowings (don't call my intonation on that, I speak about open strings !)


Conclusion : overall a nice gadget, a great tool to exercice and better understand music theory, but not even close to a second player or a loop. I might consider a separate octaver.
