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!

Reviews

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.
Music background: A 30+ years Hobbyist
Boss Vocal Harmonizer
I run this into my Focusrite Interface into my direct monitor speakers. I play my keyboard using the keyboard speakers. I can sing live to my playing and have reverb plus have the backing harmony vocals when i step on the pedal. It sounds fantastic. This was exactly what I was looking for.
Boss VE-2
I like it, it sounds good. It adds a lot to my solo gigs
Music background: Guitar and sing
So good…we ordered a spare!
This pedal has been an integral part of our sound. We (my wife), have been using it live and for practice for years. It has been a true problem free unit, and the sound and ease of use is amazing.
We are currently doing two different duos, one a classic rock/blues, and originals night, while the second is a night of Beatles music. We play live, no tracks or loops. Plugging my guitar into the pedal automatically gives it the key to use for the correct harmonies for my wife. It has been 100% glitch free, and is one of the best pieces of music gear we have bought in years.
We like it so much, we had to buy a second one just in case.
There may be better/newer harmony pedals out there, but this does exactly what we need, and ease of use is just outstanding!
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.
