Aha. Well, if the guitar pedal is getting a signal above
-10 dBV, it may be clipping internally. It is running off
of a (more or less) 9V DC supply, either from a battery or wall-wart.
As a result, the maximum signal it can generate is around +/- 4.5 volts,
or about +6 dBV. If the input signal is really hot, it might be clipping
against that right at the input.

Perhaps this (TC-Helicon Voice Tone Harmony G )unit will do
it for me.....


I was going to suggest something similar. Rather than
chorus, you might get a better sound from a small pitch detune.

I should get it in a few days.....I'll let you know if it works OK.
