Tom, I just tried out the vocal doubler. Wow! That is exactly what I was looking for. All of a sudden it sounds like I actually have a half decent voice. Now I'm going to have to read the documentation so I can figure out what all of the settings are for ;-) Oh, BTW, it sounds great on harmonica too. Many thanks.
