[RWP] tc helicon voicelive 2

[Colin McDonald]

i just realized it's actually the voicelive, not the 2 version.
No usb connectivity on this one.
beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
The manual is actually exceedingly well written, and easy to follow 
including numbered buttons and numbered steps and all that good stuff.
It's not super accessible, but the way things are layed out makes the unit 
easy enough to navigate without sight.
All my audio gear is at our rehearsal space, so I've got to wait a few days 
to get mikes and monitors and so on to test it properly.  I connected my 
guitar to the voicelive then into my amp and it certainly had effects for 
guitar etc.

Regards
Colin
