Your Complete Portable Vocal Studio!

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.

VE-2 Vocal Harmonist Effects Module at a Glance:
  • Killer harmony with or without a guitar
  • Add a full range of studio polish to your voice
  • A perfect vocal tool onstage or in the studio
Killer harmony with or without a guitar

The VE-2 Vocal Harmonist is a perfectly respectable automatic harmony generator, but where it really shines is when you plug in your guitar so it can listen to the chords you're playing. This not only allows the VE-2 to match its harmonies easily to the key in which you're playing, but you can also combine its key-tracking function with automatic harmony detection to create harmonies that both match your music and follow your voice. What's more, you have plenty of harmony options to choose from, spanning 12 1- or 2-voice options, each with a variation. So no matter how you perform, you're bound to find the perfect harmonies in the BOSS VE-2.

Add a full range of studio polish to your voice

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

Great vocals aren't just important onstage, they're absolutely essential in the studio as well. That's why BOSS designed the VE-2 Vocal Harmonist to be as flexible as possible. To begin with, the VE-2 runs on four AA batteries and still provide reliable phantom power to your favorite condenser microphone. Three easy-to-reach buttons also let you store and recall your favorite settings, and an auxiliary input lets you perform along to backing tracks. On the flip side, USB connectivity allows the VE-2 to double as an audio interface, so you can take everything it has to offer into the studio.

VE-2 Vocal Harmonist Effects Module Features:
  • An easy way to create real-time vocal harmonies and high-quality effects and processing anywhere
  • Enjoy a user interface that's so simple to use that you don't need to understand effects or music theory
  • Create harmonies by manually setting the song key or by connecting your guitar via the Auto Harmony function
  • Hybrid mode creates harmonies based on both chords you play and the manual key setting
  • Choose from 24 harmony types (12 x 1- and 2-voice harmonies plus variations for fuller sounds)
  • Easily dial up reverb, delay, and combination reverb + delay effects with a single knob
  • Enhance function automatically controls dynamics and lets you apply subtle pitch correction as you sing
  • Three memory slots let you store and quickly recall your favorite settings
  • XLR mic input with phantom power that's available even when running on batteries
  • USB audio function lets you capture processed vocal sounds into your computer
  • Runs on 4 x AA batteries or optional PSA-series AC adapter
When you need perfect vocals to go, trust the BOSS VE-2 Vocal Harmonist!

Boss VE2

Nice little pedal very well thought out and in layout and design Very Good and Resourceful for Beginners and Hobbyists and Home Studios.
Not so great in the Harmony and Reverb Delay Departments. The ground lift is a Great addition. Can be noisy and distorted at high mic settings. Best Results are attainable with a Dynamic Mic rather than a Condenser
I am waiting for the TC helicon GTX to come back in Stock to be Honest.

Boss VE-2 Vocal Harmonist

At first I thought the Vocal Harmonist was not working properly. I reread the User Guide and used it as a vocal device only. To my surprise the Boss VE-2 worked amazingly well. I am still in the process of figuring out all the possible ways to apply the device. I am sure if I tweak the microphone sensitivity switch it will work as demonstrated in the videos. I highly recommend this product to all of the guitarists who want to add vocals with the guitar music.
Rated 5/5

Boss VE 2 vocal harmonizer

Absolutely amazing piece of gear. Some reviews say it sounds unnatural. This can be true depending upon how you use it. Turning the mix knob just left of center helps make the harmonies sound very natural. You also need to really analyze the song you are doing and try different interval settings to make sure the complete harmony part you are singing all goes together because if you don't, parts of your verse or chorus harmonies will be off. I use it all the time in the auto harmonizer setting using my guitar as a trigger. In doing so, you need to be as precise as you can with your chording. If you play the chords cleanly this thing is absolutely amazing. If you follow these few tips, it will sound very precise and natural, will track perfectly, and will add a nice dimension and thickness to your voice. I was actually able to cover "Seven Bridges Road" myself with no issues. The harmonies were perfect. It just blew me away when I first heard it. It's easy to use, easy to trigger and you can store 3 custom settings which is more than enough for most gigs. Even without doing harmonies, the vocal unison setting (doubler) really thickens and adds dimension to your vocal. Lastly, the price for this unit given what it sounds like and all it can do is more than reasonable. The only knock against it that I can think of is that it does not come with the power adapter, but that just can't take away a 5 star rating for this product. If you are a solo performer I believe you will be very pleased with this harmonizer.
