The VE-20 Vocal Effects Processor from BOSS gives vocalists an innovative way to shape and enhance their live performances. This stompbox places a range of vocal effects at your feet, allowing you to turn them on and off in an instant. With the VE-20, you can add lush vocal harmonies and layers as you sing, correct pitch in real time and unleash your creativity with effects like distortion, radio and strobe. The VE-20 features an easy interface so you can dial in your perfect vocal sound with no programming required.

Harmony and Pitch Correction On Demand

Add beautiful vocal harmonies and layers with the touch of a footswitch. Select your desired harmony interval or create multi-part stacks to save for instant recall during your set. The VE-20 also provides real-time pitch correction as you sing to keep your vocals spot on. Simply sing into the mic and let the VE-20 handle the harmonies and pitch correction for you.

Built-In Phrase Looper for Vocal Layering

The VE-20 includes a 38-second phrase looper, perfect for looping and layering vocal parts on the fly. Record, overdub and loop vocal phrases to create stunning vocal arrangements. Use the looper to create layers, harmonies and beatboxing that will mesmerize your audience.

Special Vocal Effects for Extra Creativity

In addition to harmonies and pitch correction, the VE-20 offers unique vocal effects like distortion, radio, strobe and more. Dial in just the right amount of distortion to add grit to your vocals or use the strobe effect for a pulsing, rhythmic sound. The radio effect recreates the lo-fi tone of an old transistor radio. With these special effects at your feet, the creative possibilities for your vocals are endless.

Intuitive, Road-Ready Design

The VE-20 features an easy interface so you can quickly dial in and save your perfect vocal sounds with no programming required.
