Combine an amplifier and effects to create your signature sound.
Just as with crafting a guitar tone, you want to be particular about vocal tone and effects. The [VE-500] fulfills the wishes of guitar-vocalists. The [VE-500] condenses essential tools for vocal sound-making—such as preamps tuned for vocals, high-quality effects, and rich harmonies—into a robust unit. It’s designed for easy use in combination with guitar effects, so simply adding the [VE-500] to your pedalboard lets you control your vocal sound as you please. Equipped with a high-performance DSP engine developed by BOSS, it achieves pro-quality sound, natural harmonies, and accurate pitch correction. The input guitar chords are automatically analyzed, allowing for accurate harmonies even in songs with complex chord progressions. In addition, it is equipped with a preamp section such as EQ and enhancer to refine the basic vocal tone, a vocoder function to create robot voices, high-quality reverb, delay, modulation, and other standard effects, as well as unique effects such as distortion and filters—numerous tools and effects dedicated to vocals. You can save up to 99 of your favorite settings combining these, and instantly recall patches suited to songs or styles with the press of a switch. Adding the [VE-500] to your pedalboard will make your guitar-vocal live performances even more vibrant and dynamic.
