I wouldn't say it's extremely easy but a short read over the manual and a little time playing with it and you'll get it.
Sound
How is the tone?
Tone is awesome. Just don't try to output the wet signal too much, it will get muddy. A little goes a long way.

Yes. I see this being part of my rig for years to come.

The Tone button has two features the first is the adaptive live engineer. I have used a BBE and I would say this sound’s just as good if not better not as much feedback. The second feature is Auto Chromatic pitch correction; this really does a great job of tracking your voice, and giving a subtle pitch correction.

Like the previous review I watched every youtube video on the Harmony G-XT and was using this right out of the box. I do recommend that you read the manual it is quick and easy. The unit is intuitive, and easy to setup and use.
Sound
How is the tone?
The harmonies are great. You can do 5th above or a major or minor 3rd then there is the gender bender by using the octaves. You will have harmonies for most music you do. One feature I really like is the voice doubling it really fattens up your voice and sounds convincing.

This unit is built to last like all TC- HELICON products. I have it mounted to my pedal board as I am a guitar player and its as tough as any of my guitar pedals.

I play rock country, blues, top 40 dance and this pedal is simply awesome its as versatile as the music I play.

The tone shaper and the effects are awesome, and I'm sure when I mess around with it some more I'll reign in the harmony features as well.

I've only had it for a few days so I don't know but it looks to be made very well.

You have to tweak it to what your playing. I found some bad notes come out of it when you play to fast. It has trouble keeping up fast guitar strumming, but it's still a nice pedal to have to shape your tone.

Right out of the box presets address most performance situations. Totally intuitive. Manual is straight forward, but not much needed to get started. Good for deeper programming.
Sound
How is the tone?
This is the biggest wow for me. If you get a chance to test it at a store, be sure to try singing falsetto after your regular voice. It is amazingly true & sounds like old Eagles (if you're a dude).

Very solid feeling unit, though I wonder about the long term in regard to the control knobs which are not far from the foot switches. Would suggest adding a place to be able to plug in remote foot switches for on/off and program change.

The uncanny ability to "read" the chord you're playing on the guitar and voice the harmony accordingly.

Tone is very good overall. I expected it to be more "mechanical" sounding and generally it's not. The doubling effect does seem to increase the mechanical factor, so I seldom use that setting.
