Boss VE-20

The voice is the most important instrument! And here comes a vocal effects unit that many singers, beatboxers, metal shouters, speakers and announcers will never want to give away again: Absolutely uncomplicated operation, all helpful and inspiring effects can be used simultaneously (compressor, pitch correction, sophisticated voice doubler or 2-voice harmonist, robot voices / distortion / strobe, reverb, echo, etc.).

In addition, the VE-20 offers a lot of features for the performance on stage: Built-in looper with overdubs (e.g. sing a chorus alone), clever switching of effects (e.g. reverb + echo always, but three-part vocals only in the chorus), the only vocal effect with battery operation on the market.
