Hi Guy's

Interesting comments, unfortunately I can't re-do the VLT2 recording as it's all packed up ready to go (EBay), in any case it's very difficult to get the balances absolutely equal but to my ears, old though they be, the Digitech does sound more natural. I have in the past recorded the VLT2 harmony voices separately and I have to say without the lead voice they do sound very robotic. I haven't found a way to separate the lead and harmony voices on the Digitech yet, if I can I will post the result.

I have just bought another AKG D5 so my back up's are now complete.

2 mic's, 2 tablets, 2 harmonizers, 2 amps so in all likely-hood I will never need them.

PS: Just checked the manual there is no way to adjust the lead level or the lead and harmony voice panning (budget model). It would appear that the harmony effect is a relatively simple one, the main concentration seems to be on the vocal effects, reverb, delay, compression, de-essing etc.
