Boss VE-500 Vocal Performer

Guitarists — how would you like to robo-tune or reverberate your vocals with the press of a switch? Create lush three-part harmonies and dynamic loops as inspiration strikes? This vocal power plant is the perfect pedalmate to your existing pedalboard. An onboard instrument input and through output allows the VE-500 to generate smooth, natural, intelligent vocal harmonies just by listening to your chord voicings. No theory or programming is required. A clean XLR mic preamp with adjustable gain and onboard +48V phantom power provide the all front end you need for favorite stage condenser or dynamic mic. Meanwhile, the VE-500’s 99 programmable user presets keep whole sets’ worth of 32-bit floating point effects — distortion, delay, filtering, reverb, and more — ready at a moment’s notice. Stereo XLR outputs deliver your best performances directly into a PA system or recording medium for safekeeping.
