BOSS Vocal Harmonist Effects Processor Stompbox Guitar Pedal (VE-2)

Product Information

It includes a Mic in (XLR input) and XLR Output as the main input/output connections. Additionally, it has a Guitar in (TRS input) and Thru (output)… The Thru output is ideal if you’re looking at relaying the guitar signal to another destination such as an amplifier, once the VE-2 has analysed the key of the guitar signal. However, with the USB output, singers can record vocals into a DAW (digital audio workstation), which is great because they can easily capture sounds for music recording, social media videos, and more. This well-thought-out feature reflects how well the engineers understand their market. Effects VE-2 je ohromně intuitivní pro kohokoliv, dokonce i pro zpěváky, kteří nemají žádné zkušenosti se zvukovým vybavením. Tlačítka a knoby zjednodušují získání skvělých zvuků rovnou, přičemž vás LEDky přehledně informují o aktuálním nastavení harmonizéru. Integrovaný multifunkční nožní spínač umožňuje za/vypínat harmonizér, popř. obcházet zvuk VE-2 během hraní kompletně, a dokonce můžete připojit dva volitelné nožní spínače, a rozšířit tak možnosti ovládání podle potřeby. Kromě toho můžete uložit až tři oblíbené zvuky do připravených pamětí a dotykem prstu je vyvolat. Vše podstatné pro vyladěný vokál, v jediném kompaktním pedálu The VE-2 is incredibly intuitive for anyone to use, even for vocalists that have no previous experience with sound equipment. Buttons and knob-based controls make it simple to get great sounds instantly, while the handy LED indicators show the current vocal harmony setting at a glance. The integrated multi-function footswitch allows you to turn harmony on/off or bypass the VE-2’s sound entirely as you perform, and you can even connect up to two optional footswitches for more control if desired. In addition, you can save three favorite sounds in onboard memories and recall them at the touch of button.

Another nice feature of the unit is it’s ‘Memory’ function, which in turn allows for vocalists to save up to three different memory presets, ideal if you have a few favorite settings that you use. The BOSS VE-2 Vocal Harmonist effects processor proves that you don't have to drop a ton of cash or lug around a pedalboard-sized gadget to get the vocal processing you really want. This compact device is so easy to use, you don't have to know a thing about music gear or music theory to dial in the perfect harmony or effects, and with a push of a button, you'll get instant studio magic. Plug in a guitar, and the VE-2 becomes more impressive still, using the chords you play to determine the harmonies it creates. What's more, you can run the VE-2 on just four AA batteries for totally portable operation, and USB connectivity even lets you take your favorite vocal effects into the studio. Next, we have the Balance, Type, and Key controls, which of course relate to the type of harmony which is added to the mix. AC Adaptor (sold separately) Current Draw 200 mA Max. (9 V) Expected battery life under continuous use: Rechargeable Ni-MH battery(*1): Approx. 12 hours (phantom power: OFF), Approx. 8 hours (phantom power: ON)The VE-2 produces almost magically wonderful, harmonious vocals based on your singing. The Harmony function automatically adapts to the chords of the connected guitar, a preselected key, or a combination of both. Even if you have little or no experience with effect devices or music theory, it is so easy to create perfect harmonies in real time by selecting one of these 3 modes. The Boss VE-2 also has an interesting function, called ‘Auto Harmonist’… This is fantastic for singers who want to connect an instrument to the VE-2 such as a guitar, as the unit senses and detects the chord progressions used, to work out the musical key that the vocals should follow… Absolutely fantastic if you have key changes in the song, as this unit is able to listen to the change in chords (mid-song) and then adapt the harmonies accordingly. XLR mikrofonní vstup s fantomovým napájením (fantomové napájení je k dispozici i tehdy, když běží zařízení na baterie) Hybrid mode creates harmonies based on both guitar chord input and the manual key setting, perfect for songs where the guitar part transitions between rhythm and lead playing

Create harmonies by manually setting the song key or by connecting your guitar via the Auto Harmony function Another amazing feature is the enhance button, which when pressed once evens out vocals, producing a more refined, studio-type sound. When pressed twice, it subtly corrects the pitch for stable harmony. However, I found the reverb to have a bit too much echo, even when it was at the lowest setting. Harmony is just one of the things that the BOSS VE-2 Vocal Harmonist lets you do. In fact, it comes loaded with a smattering of cool effects and processors, making it easy to add a touch of studio magic to your live vocals. For starters, there's a simple one-knob effects control that lets you dial in reverb, delay, or a combination of reverb and delay. If you'd like to smooth out your vocals just a touch, just hit the VE-2's Enhance button and you'll be rewarded with a healthy dose of studio polish. Hit it again and you'll add in subtle but effective automatic pitch correction, which not only help you stay in tune in loud environments in which you can't hear yourself as well as you'd like, it also makes your automatic harmonies much more stable. A perfect vocal tool onstage or in the studio A harmonizer pedal provides various harmony types to add to your voice, plus vocal enhancement with reverb, delay effects, and pitch correction.

What’s more, the VE-2 can run on a PAS-series AC adapter or four AA-size batteries, allowing flexibility to decide which option works best depending on the environment. However, I recommend the AC adapter for playing live because it eliminates worrying about batteries running out while on stage. Social Proof The following are some of my top favorite features in our Boss VE-2 review: Different Harmonic Configurations For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. I don’t technically classify the Roland VT-4 as a pedal. Instead, it’s more a full-effects station featuring pitch control, harmony options, and many other vocal effects. It is generally suited for an at-home studio.

As you can see, the unit has a range of input/output and connectivity options, all of which make the Boss VE2 a very versatile and useful harmonist processor for singers. These figures will vary depending on the specifications of the batteries and the actual conditions of use. Accessories Owner's Manual If you’re looking for a full-effect station featuring several fun options, experiment with the Roland VT-4! Conclusion The VE-2 has various harmonic configurations (a total of 24 variations) to cover anything in a song, which is nice because it provides a fun list of possibilities. Select a key you’re singing in and it’ll generate harmonies based on that key. The Boss VE-20 has various effects – distortion and pitch, vocal harmony, and loops to strobe, making it suitable for both experimenting and gigs.Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty Other connectivity features: 48V phantom power for powering condenser microphones, ground lift, 9V power supply input, headphones line out, variation memory, and microphone sensitivity (mic sense). Sound tends to be noisy and inaccurate at high mic settings. Using a Dynamic mic instead of a Condenser would produce better results. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. Overall, the VE-2 provides value for money. It makes it no longer necessary to rely on a sound engineer to make vocals sound clean-cut and professional. With simple operation and layered effects, it creates polished, studio-quality sounds.
