PaulyPaul « All effects are in real time, great for live use »
Published on 10/17/12 at 23:14The Boss VE-20 Vocal Effects Processor makes some really good harmonies that you can use with your lead vocals in real time. That’s why the VE-20 is a great processor to have for live use. You can also loop and record with the Phrase Looper options, you can also do that in real time as well or you can do it while recording in a studio but you only get around 30 seconds of record time to loop.
UTILIZATION
The Boss VE-20 has some powerful effects like, robot, strobe, chorus, reverb, electric and a few more. All of them have a great sound to them and will add some much needed life to your vocals. I have used this unit in a studio before but I feel like it's more designed for live use. You won’t find another Vocal Effects Processor like this one unless you spend at least 400 dollars. The Boss VE-20 only cost a little over 200 but for everything you get with it and its on-stage ability makes it almost priceless.
SOUND QUALITY
The VE-20 has onboard phantom power in case you are using a condenser microphone. All of the pitch correction and effects are in real time. My favorite vocal effects are harmony and the delay.
OVERALL OPINION
They are really colorful and clean. If you don’t want to use a preset you don’t have to , there are editing controls on the VE-20 that will let you create your own effects but it won't come quick or easy. It will take some time to get used to creating your own stuff and you will probably want to watch some tutorials and read the manual before you begin with that process. The manual will tell you everything you need to know, it is well written and easy to understand and comprehend. If you are a live vocalist then this unit is something you must buy right away.
