A twin pedal specifically designed for vocal processing, the Boss VE-20 is capable of creating multiple effects simultaneously, including reverb, delay and chorus. The Boss VE-20 can create a harmony of your voice on the fly--including an upper third or even a lower fifth. It is user-manipulated, so any harmony can be created by turning a knob. There is also a phrase looper that allows you to record and sing along with your own voice, as well as special effects such as pitch correction, distortion and even a setting that will enhance your voice with a robotic tonal quality. With its rugged case, the Boss VE-20 is a welcome addition to your pedal board and was designed to easily fit into Boss pedal boards and travel cases.
The VT-1 is able to manipulate the sound of your voice on the fly in revolutionary ways compared to previous products. This unit can change the gender quality of your voice as well as thicken up the vocal sound by doubling it. The Boss VT-1 can also adjust the pitch of your voice and track it cleanly while doing so. With separate sliders for pitch and formant, you can dial in the exact sound you are looking for with ease and add only a certain percentage of the effect for over-the-top vocal manipulation or just a pinch to add character. The separate reverb slider also allows you to change the ambient room quality from concert hall to isolation booth for maximum effects control during post-production.
Although not introduced solely as a vocal effects processor, the Boss VF-1 is a useful addition to any vocalist's studio gear. Boss touts this 24-bit, multi-effects processor as the best effects processor in its history; it includes many of the effects that made the company famous--all combined into a compact unit that is also rack-mountable. The Boss VF-1 is a versatile unit that can be used for vocals, and most of the 400 effects patches can be manipulated to increase the quality of a vocal track or for live shows where processing is a necessity. Foot-switchable for live use, the Boss VF-1 includes COSM-based effects derived from Roland (Boss's parent company) and includes reverb, delay, distortion and compression to even out audio for consistency.
