The BOSS VE-2 Vocal Harmonist delivers a complete effects solution for all singers, and offers auto-key detect features for those that perform with a guitar. This portable, battery-powered stompbox has everything you need to create polished vocal sounds everywhere you sing, from concert stages and street performances, to practicing at home.
The VE-2 creates harmonized vocals that follow your singing, with pitch that either automatically follows the chords played on a connected guitar, uses a preset key, or a combination of the two. Using one of these three operation modes, it’s easy to create real-time harmonies in any key, even if you have no experience with musical gear or music theory.
In addition to harmony, the VE-2 provides essential effects to enhance your voice, such as high-quality reverb/delay and an enhancer with real-time pitch correction. Also, a USB audio function allows you to connect to your computer and easily capture your effected vocal sounds for music recordings.
