The Cure for Bland Vocals!

With an affordable BOSS VE-5 Vocal Performer effects processor in your rig, there's simply no excuse for bland vocals. Seriously, if you're a vocalist or vocal performer, then you need to get your hands on a BOSS VE-5. This fun little effects box makes it brain-dead simple to enhance your voice with six amazing vocal effects types - all taken straight from BOSS's flagship VE-20 vocal effects pedal. Choose from Reverb, Delay, Double/Harmony, Dynamics, or Pitch Correct (including that wonderful "hard tune" effect you hear everywhere). There's also the Tone/SFX mode, which gives you access to Distortion, Radio, and Strobe effects. And we're just getting started into what the VE-5 can do. Check this out! As if all these killer effects weren't enough, BOSS also loaded their VE-5 Vocal Performer with an amazing phrase looper. Once you start messing around with this looper, your live shows will never be the same. With the VE-5's phrase looper, you can record duet and harmony parts or add rhythmic elements to your performances such as beatbox loops or claps - all in realtime! It's a great way to fire up your imagination.

Now add in all of the other cool extras BOSS tossed into the VE-5 vocal effects processor. For instance, when we say portable, we mean it - the VE-5 runs for up to 9 hours on just four AA batteries. And when you're out and about with you VE-5, and you just want try out some ideas, take advantage of its built-in condenser mic and leave your bulky microphones at home. And if you want to add backing tracks you can practice or perform with, just plug your personal media player into the VE-5's stereo 1/8" input, and you're golden!

When it's time to take to the stage, your BOSS VE-5 vocal effects processor is right there with you. An included mic-stand mount instantly transforms your VE-5 from a tabletop effects box to a performance-ready vocal processor. Plug in a foot pedal or two, and you can even switch up your effects in real time, and a series of three large Favorites buttons on top let you instantly recall your top effects settings with a single touch. There's a lot to love about the BOSS VE-5 Vocal Performer. Get yours from GearNuts.com, and discover how much fun live vocal processing can be.
