Boss VE-1 Vocal Echo Pedal

The BOSS VE-1 Vocal Echo Pedal provides lush reverb and other essential vocal tools packaged in a compact and user-friendly unit, allowing you to easily create a great ambient vocal sound every time you perform. With the VE-1, everything is right at your fingertips to get great-sounding vocals anytime and anywhere - whether you're a newcomer to the world of audio effects processing or ahighly-trained PA engineer.

With the VE-1, there's no need to worry about complicated parameter settings to achieve rich results. Simply dial up a sound from one of the seven available professionally designed presets, then twist the knobs to easily and intuitively control the effect level and depth. If you're a more advanced user, additional detailed parameters are available to fine-tune sounds even further. Along with the top-quality reverbs, dedicated controls are right at your fingertips for applying Double, Pitch Correct, and Enhance features to your vocals to put the finishing touch to your sound. Pitch Correct helps you to stay in tune, and also allows you to obtain that characteristic "electronic voice" sound. With the convenient Memory feature, you can store and recall up to four favorite settings, including your current live setting. The built-in USB audio port enables you to record your polished vocal sound directly to a DAW or create a studio-quality sound for a YouTube performance. The VE-1 runs on batteries or AC power, and works great in any situation, from street performing to recording in your home studio to performing live at a café or club.

Seven Different Echo Types

The seven built-in presets don't simply increase in depth or intensity as you step through them—they each contain multiple reverbs that are intricately adjusted for every setting. These variations provide the most suitable settings for each depth level, blending in while never overwhelming your direct vocal sound. The work done by the seasoned engineers at BOSS on the VE-1 results in great ambient vocal effects that are easily obtained in any live situation.

Built-in Memory to Switch between Different Vocal Sounds

With the VE-1's built-in memory, you're able to simply switch between the ambient vocal sounds you need for different song styles. Between songs, you can easily bypass the ambient sound while the Enhancer remains active, which is great for speaking to the audience. You can choose from four different settings, including your current live setup with the VE-1.

USB Audio Capability

The VE-1 has a built-in USB audio port to record to your computer. This is a great feature for making professional-sounding YouTube videos that show off your vocal ability. With a microphone connected to the VE-1, you can record your vocals along with effects directly to your favorite music software. You can even mix in a song played back from your computer at the same time.
