Who says stompboxes are just for guitarists? The new, easy-to-use VE-20 has been designed from the ground up for singers, featuring some of the finest vocal-effects technology on the market. With the click of a footswitch, you can instantly add lush vocal layers and harmonies to your singing, add realtime pitch-correction, and you can show your creative side with special effects such as Distortion, Radio, and Strobe. You can even create loops and layers in real time with the onboard Phrase Looper. Perform anywhere with the VE-20 since it runs on AC or battery power.

Features:

  • Specialized effects for vocalists, including Harmony, Double-Track, Dynamics, Reverb, Delay, and more
  • Create the total of 3-part harmonies and layers
  • Realtime pitch-correction tools
  • Special FX, including Distortion, Radio and Strobe
  • Phrase Looper with 38 seconds (mono) of recording time
  • Phantom power for condenser microphones
  • Runs on six AA-batteries or AC adaptor (PSA)
  • Easy operation, road-tough BOSS construction
Simple Quality

BOSS VE-20 takes your voice to a whole new level! VE-20 is packed with essential, high quality effects for vocalists such as Reverb, Delay, Dynamics, Chorus, and more. These effects has been difficult for vocalists to have control of, but now the VE-20 offers incredible easy user interface to totally control your vocal sound. Simply dial up your favorite setting and sing — no programming required. VE-20 is a practical vocal effects processor even for first timers. Of course, if you want to roll your sleeves up and create, the VE-20 has a variety of editing tools onboard.

Harmony Factory

Add lush harmonies to your lead vocals instantly as you sing. Select the harmony interval of your choice, or create multi-part stacks, such as upper third and lower fifth, and save them for instant recall. You can also thicken your vocals with Double Track. Best of all, the VE-20 is incredibly easy to use. There’s no need for programming, and you don’t need to input notes from a keyboard as you do with a Vocoder — simply sing and let the VE-20 do the rest!

Phrase Loop

Sing, record, loop, and overdub with the onboard Phrase Looper, inherited from BOSS’s popular RE-20XL Loop Station. You get 38 seconds of mono record time to loop and layer phrases, and you can do it all in real time onstage. From doo-wop to human-beatbox, this tool will wow audiences!

Special FX

In addition to its harmony and pitch-correction tools, the VE-20 offers a colorful and expressive collection of special effects, including Electric (made famous by artists such as Cher and Black-Eyed Peas), Robot, Strobe (rotary), Distortion, Chorus, and Reverb.

Road-Tough Design

With the same solid-metal construction as other BOSS stompboxes, the VE-20 is built to last. Its footprint is identical to BOSS Twin-Series pedals, ensuring that it will fit perfectly into existing multi-pedal BOSS pedalboards and travel cases.

Outstanding! In no time at all I had this puppy up and running it is well layed out and the instructions actually make sense! I easily programmed in 6 different patches in about 30 minutes. The parameters can be named, copied, swapped, and stored. It would be nice if they had more of them but that's a minor complaint.

So how does it sound? I think it ranks right up there with most rack units I have used. The selected presets that can be modified into 30 user banks. My purpose for this as a horn player was good consistent reverb no matter what PA I was plugging into. This totally works for that purpose. I also used the octaves, harmonizer, and chorus to fatten up parts. I like that the second pedal is assignable so that I could keep my reverb delay settings and kick in the doubling and harmonizing as needed.

All in all this pedal kicks ass and does exactly what I needed to for a very reasonable price! Oh and The Midi Store had in in stock when every one else was sold out and got it to me really quick so A+ for them too!

Wonderful pedal. Quite simple to figure out and program, but also powerful. At first I thought the pitch correction was crap, but now I've got it figured out. The "Smooth" setting is supposed to be transparent, but I find that it sounds obvious and bad. But the "Hard" setting is good. If you listen carefully while singing a capella you can still hear it, but if you add some effects (e.g., a little delay and reverb) and use it live, it does what it's supposed to do without being easily audible. Unlike many pedals, a lot of the presets are good just as they are, although they can be adjusted to better suit you--for instance I prefer -3rd and +3rd for the harmonies, with the +3 a little lower in volume. All of this is adjustable and, once set properly, the harmonies sound great. I also created a cool psychedelic sound with heavy delay, pitch correct, and flanger that is cool on the right songs. Finally, the loop pedal is a blast. Takes some time to get the timing right, but it's crystal clear no matter how many layers you add.

I don't have any major beefs. I would like it if there were a quick, easy way to change patches with the pedals, rather than having to bend over and use the knob. You can do it. but it's cumbersome and time consuming so I don't bother. But you'd have to have more pedals and more real estate for this, so it's fine.

Highly recommended!
