It offers high-quality, professional sound and combines BOSS's expertise in impressive DSP performance. This device provides you with harmonious vocal effects and automatic pitch correction that aligns with the chords of your guitar. And that's not all. A powerful vocoder and central sound enhancement tools are integrated, as well as top-notch reverb, delay, and modulation sounds. It also features special effects like distortion and filtering.
The unique strength of the VE-500 lies in its adaptability. Thanks to programmable presets, you can instantly recall your favorite settings for each song or style.

Its versatility truly shines when you look at the automatic harmony generation, controlled by your guitar or MIDI. Need good background singers? With the VE-500, you can effortlessly refine your songs with impressive, ear-catching vocal harmonies. And if you want to get creative, the built-in vocoder gives you the ability to transform your guitar sounds with electronic voices and a plethora of entirely new timbres.
