Simply dial up your favourite setting and sing — no programming required. VE-20 is a practical vocal effects processor even for first timers. Of course, if you want to roll your sleeves up and create, the VE-20 has a variety of editing tools onboard.

Harmony Factory
Add lush harmonies to your lead vocals instantly as you sing.

Best of all, the VE-20 is incredibly easy to use. There’s no need for programming, and you don’t need to input notes from a keyboard as you do with a Vocoder — simply sing and let the VE-20 do the rest!

Phrase

Loop
Sing, record, loop, and overdub with the onboard Phrase Looper, inherited from BOSS’s popular RE-20XL Loop Station. You get 38 seconds of mono record time to loop and layer phrases, and you can do it all in real time onstage. From doo-wop to human-beatbox, this tool will wow audiences!

Special FX
In addition to its harmony and pitch-correction tools, the VE-20 offers a colourful and expressive collection of special effects, including Electric (made famous by artists such as Cher

and Black-Eyed Peas), Robot, Strobe (rotary), Distortion, Chorus, and Reverb.

With the same solid-metal construction as other BOSS stompboxes, the VE-20 is built to last. Its footprint is identical to BOSS Twin-Series pedals, ensuring that it will fit perfectly into existing multi-pedal BOSS pedalboards and travel cases.
