    Obviously a very cleverly designed unit. As the men were wearing vests, I assume that it was hot there!

    There’s a mode in the V-256 called INSTRUMENT CTRL which is not really mentioned in the video. It is a wonderul effect that allows you to set the pitch of your vocals (no matter what pitch you sing) with a monophonic instrument. It works really well with guitar but it won’t track chords.

    The way it works is you play a note on your guitar, say an E at the 5th fret on the B string. Then sing into the mic, the output of the effect will be your voice pich shifted either up or down to the same E note you played on the guitar.

    Think of it as Auto-Tune that let’s you play the notes in real-time. It’s great as a new kind of talk box effect or new style of vocoding. I see a lot of possibilities for live use, mixing the guitar and vocal together where the vocal tracks the guitar.

    Please, please, please put up a video, or even just an audio, demo of this feature!

    It sounds too amazing not to show off.

    Thanks!

    When will the V256 ship?

    I’m rather anxious to get my hands on one.

    Thanks!

    Hey moonlight, I merged your thread with this one so that there’s just one v256 thread.

    Fuzz hasn’t announced if they’ve shipped yet or not. They may have shipped, and they may already be in stores. A lot of places have them for sale. So, I’d either await an answer from Fuzz which might take a few days, or just call/email around to some dealers.

    Great video. Mike the Man does it again! What a versatile pedal. My wish list of EHX pedals has just got longer.

    Thanks, julian, for letting me know about the thread-merge.

    And thanks for the advice. I buy most of my gear in the UK, and sometimes from thomann.de. Thomann has it on their site for 149 pounds, which seems fair enough, but they don’t actually have them in stock yet. The last time I e-mailed them, it took a few days for a response, so I figured I’d go right to the source.

    I’m just gonna sit tight here and wait for a response, whilst dreaming of the possibilities of a V256 used in conjunction with my Voice Box.

    *twiddles thumbs, whistles*

    update: Well, kiss my grits! Thomann, whilst (that’s 2 “whilsts” in one post . . . where’s my t-shirt?!?) they don’t have them in stock, they do mention whenst (that’s right: “whenst” . . . I’m going for broke!!! All in, baby!) they shall have it . . .

    I give ye thy 18th of Septemberee!

    So, David . . . have you received it yet? If so, thoughts/impressions? Better yet: clips?

    Thanks!

    Yes i recieved mine last monday. i ordered it off of sweetwater.com so it came in pretty soon, but i’ve never really experimented with anything like this so i can’t say its the best thing cuz there could be something out there better. i will tell you though that the V does what its supposed to.it works really well and has a great pitch correction effect. I really enjoy having it and i’m sure anyone who is into vocoding would also enjoy it.

    really? call them at at 800 222 4700, punch in extension 1339, it’s a guy named allen and he helped with the whole process. just tell him your lookin into buying the v256 vocoder, mine ended up being around $220.00. worth every penny though.

    Thanks for the rather detailed help. I hope you get a piece of this Allen’s action.

    Anyway, it was a bit too late, I’m afraid, as I’ve already ordered one elsewhere.

    I do have another question about the V256, though: have you used the INSTRUMENT CTRL feature, which changes the pitch of your singing to the pitch of the instrument coming through the instrument input?

    And if you have, how is it?

    Thanks!
