Boss has expanded their long-running series of Vocal Performer products with the brand new VE-22 Vocal Performer. The VE-22 offers an XLR microphone preamp and a diverse range of sonic tools including everything from basic vocal enhancements to dramatically processed effects, down to real-time harmony functions. The VE-22 Vocal Performer also offers versatile features for practice, recording, and online streaming.
Outside effects, the VE-22 Vocal Performer also brings a slew of handy studio essentials like a compressor, EQ, and de-esser plus a wide selection of delays and reverbs for adding space and ambience. Though you can absolutely get weird with things and enable more heavy-handed effects like auto pitch, distortion, lo-fi, modulation, and other voice-transforming effects. Preset memories offer 50 ready-to-go sounds, while 99 user memories are available for storing custom setups for different songs and styles.
The VE-22‘s powerful harmony and doubling functions enable users to create ensemble effects from a single voice, letting you set the song key, change up the harmony voicing, adjust levels, and more with the panel knobs. It’s also possible to assign the harmonies to an onboard switch and bring them in and out while performing.
