collapse expand iconDescription

The BOSS VE-22 Vocal Performer gives you the tools to create professional-quality vocal sounds for the stage, studio or rehearsal space. Dial in essentials like compression, EQ, delay and reverb to achieve studio-ready tone, then dive deeper and transform your sound with unique effects like distortion, pitch correction and modulation. The VE-22's powerful harmonies and doubling instantly multiply your voice for impressive ensemble textures, and an intuitive interface with hands-on knobs provides real-time customization of your vocal sound. Plus, with flexible I/O like XLR mic/line inputs and outputs, USB-C and an AUX input, you can use the VE-22 Vocal Performer for practice, recording, live performance or streaming.

BOSS VE-22 Pedal

Shape Your Sound Using Essential Effects

The VE-22 is equipped with pro-level dynamics, EQ, delay, reverb and other essential effects to enhance your natural voice. Use the compressor for added sustain and punch. Sculpt your tone with the 3-band EQ. Create depth and space with immersive reverbs or echo effects, and call up just the right amount of extra ambience or slapback delay to suit your style. The VE-22 gives you the tools to shape your core vocal tone, allowing you to sound your best in any scenario.

BOSS VE-22 Vocal Performer

Transform Your Voice Through Specialty Processors

In addition to classic vocal processing, the VE-22 opens up creative possibilities with wild effects. Add grit with distortion or a vintage lo-fi character. Use auto pitch correction for subtle tuning adjustments or heavily synthetic tones. Modulation effects like chorus, flanger and phaser create sweeping, animated textures that bathe vocals away in the depths of outlandish stylization. There are also specialty processors like a ring modulator, slicer and radio filter to dramatically alter your voice. With 50 great-sounding presets, you can instantly access transformed sounds to take your vocal approach to another dimension.

BOSS VE-22 Multi-Effects Processor

Generate Immersive Harmonies and Doubling

The VE-22's harmonizer and doubler functions let you quickly multiply your voice to sound like a group or ensemble. Choose from intelligent harmony types like thirds, fifths and octaves; from there, set the key of your song, and generated harmonies will follow your melody in real time. Easily adjust the level, panning, gender and other parameters for ultimate flexibility and a sound that's always uniquely yours. You can also use the doubling effect for natural-sounding reinforcement of your core vocal tone. These powerful ensemble effects will make your performances come alive in all new ways.

BOSS VE-22 I/O

Customize in Real Time With Intuitive Control

An easy-to-navigate interface lets you dial in sounds quickly on the BOSS VE-22 Vocal Performer, allowing you to edit parameters with dedicated knobs for each effect. An ultrabright, high-visibility LCD screen lets you see your settings clearly—even on dimly lit stages. Once you're happy with a tone, save up to 99 of your own presets for instant recall, in which you can build out all of the sounds needed for a performance and keep them at your fingertips. Additionally, three footswitch jacks allow real-time control of functions like harmony on/off and effect bypass, and an expression pedal input enables continuous manipulation of parameters through movement. With intuitive hands-on (and feet-on) operation, you can shape your vocals on the fly.

For vocalists looking to reach the next level of creativity and soundscaping, the BOSS VE-22 Vocal Performer provides pro-grade sound processing in a portable package. Enhance your tone with essential effects or produce heavily altered, electronic sounds that barely resemble a voice altogether. Whether practicing at home, recording in the studio or performing live, the VE-22 gives you the tools to create inspiring vocal sounds.

      There is so many uses and sound variables in this peddle it's going to take a minute to learn all the functions. But as far as put if the box i suggest watching some YouTube to learn some basics then figure out your onw sound.

      Will this unit take midi input from a keyboard? If not, how does it get the harmony? I would like to update the technology from my TC-Helicon VK that I think is discontinued. I keep the unit up on my keyboard. Is there anything similar or better? I could use a floor switch unit.

      It gets it's Harmony from an analog input. It can't read MIDI as MIDI, isn't audio.
