Product description Boss VE-2
The BOSS VE-2 Vocal Harmonist effects processor proves that you don't need to spend a lot of money or lug around a pedalboard-sized device to get the vocal processing you really need.
This compact device is so easy to use that no knowledge of musical instruments or music theory is required to achieve great results, as it can be operated with just one press of a button.
This battery-powered effects pedal has everything you need to deliver fantastic studio-quality sounds — wherever you sing, whether on a big concert stage or busking on the street, while practising or simply having fun at home. The VE-2 produces wonderful, harmonious vocals based on your singing, almost as if by magic.
The harmony function automatically adapts to the chords played on the connected guitar, a preselected key, or a combination of both. Creating perfect harmonies in real time is so easy: simply select one of these three modes, even if you have little or no experience with effects units or music theory.
In addition to harmonisation, the VE-2 offers all the effects you need to enhance the sound of your voice, such as high-quality reverb/delay effects and an enhancer function to stabilise the volume or correct the pitch while singing. The integrated USB audio interface lets you record the VE-2 vocal sound on a PC for music recordings, social media videos and more.

Important questions about the article Boss VE-2
Question: Do I need a guitar to create harmonies with the Boss VE-2?
Answer: No. Without a guitar, you set the key on the unit; with a connected guitar, Auto Harmony detects the chords being played. Hybrid mode combines both methods.
Question: How many harmony types does the Boss VE-2 offer?
Answer: There are 12 harmony types, each with a variation, for a total of 24 settings. Depending on the type, the VE-2 adds one or two voices above or below your own vocal.
Question: Does the Boss VE-2 have pitch correction and vocal effects?
Answer: The Enhance function smooths the dynamics and can also activate subtle pitch correction. Reverb, delay, or a combination of both are available for ambience.
Question: Can I use a condenser microphone with the Boss VE-2?
Answer: Yes. The XLR microphone input provides phantom power for suitable condenser microphones, even when the VE-2 is battery-powered.
Question: Can I record processed vocals directly on a computer?
Answer: Yes. Via USB, the VE-2 sends the processed vocal to the computer, allowing you to record it with recording software.
Question: Can playback or karaoke from a computer be mixed with the microphone?
Answer: Yes. The Loopback function mixes computer audio playback with the microphone signal, for example for backing tracks or karaoke recordings.
Question: How flexibly can the Boss VE-2 be operated live?
Answer: Three memory locations store your own settings. The integrated footswitch switches harmony on or off or bypasses the VE-2 sound; up to two optional footswitches can be connected for more control.
Question: How is the Boss VE-2 powered?
Answer: It runs on four AA batteries or an optional BOSS PSA-series power supply. A power supply is not included.
