Singing guitarists can now achieve the same level of sonic precision for their vocals as they do for their guitar tone with the BOSS VE-500 Vocal Performer. This advanced vocal multi-effects stompbox integrates seamlessly into your existing pedalboard setup, providing professional-grade vocal processing that matches the quality of your guitar effects chain. The VE-500 features sophisticated harmony and pitch correction algorithms that automatically track your guitar chords, plus a comprehensive vocoder function for creating electronic voice and talk box sounds.
Built with BOSS’s high-powered DSP engine, the VE-500 can process up to nine vocal effects simultaneously while maintaining class-leading sound quality. The extensive effects library includes specially tuned vocal processors in the Enhance section for core tone shaping, alongside world-class reverb, delay, modulation, distortion, EQ, and filtering options. Flexible routing allows you to process live and harmonised vocals together or separately, giving you complete control over your vocal sound design.
Performance features include three assignable footswitches for real-time control, support for up to two external footswitches or expression pedals, and 99 user memories for instant patch recall. Professional connectivity options feature XLR mic input with adjustable sensitivity and phantom power, guitar input with thru output, stereo XLR outputs for PA connection, plus MIDI input and USB-MIDI compatibility. The included editor/librarian software for Mac and Windows provides comprehensive sound editing and patch management capabilities via USB connection.
