I just acquired a Quilter Phantom Block. With a pedal or two (depending on your needs) It makes a great electric guitar interface and then you can continue to run your acoustic into the board. It's kind of the opposite of what you asked for, but the Quilter is light and sounds good to my ears.

I guess the main thrust of the post was to talk about failure. If my DVL3 fails, I have no backup; the only choice is to purchase another unit used. They are going for around $400 right now; if a newer more current unit is working as well, I guess I'd rather spend money on that new unit, but I don't really see anything new that does quite the same thing.

Hello all, newbie here. I'm considering starting a one man band and I have some questions about harmonizers. I'm a guitar player with a smattering of keyboard skills. It seems the most popular (from reading posts here) are the TC Helicon Voicelive Play GTX and the Digitech vocalist live 3. I have the Digitech VL3 and I like it; it works with my Telecaster and I like the mix of vocal effects it has. MIDI would be a welcome addition but the Digitech does not have it. However, it seems both the Digitech and the TC are already obsolete, and I am afraid to put all my eggs in the Digitech basket. So my question: If you were to buy something new right now (2021) what would you buy? I had a look around and t seems to me the newer devices are optimized for something else but maybe I am missing something? Or, maybe the best course of action is just to buy a backup Digitech used....? Thanks, Mark
