You can even create loops and layers in real time with the onboard Phrase Looper. Perform anywhere with the VE-20 since it runs on AC or battery power.

Simple Quality
BOSS VE-20 takes your voice to a whole new level! VE-20 is packed with essential, high quality effects for vocalists such as Reverb, Delay, Dynamics, Chorus, and more. These effects has been difficult for vocalists to have control of, but now the VE-20 offers incredible easy user interface to totally control your vocal sound. Simply dial up your favorite setting and sing -- no programming required. VE-20 is a practical vocal effects processor even for first timers. Of course, if you want to roll your sleeves up and create, the VE-20 has a variety of editing tools onboard.
Harmony Factory
Add lush harmonies to your lead vocals instantly as you sing. Select the harmony interval of your choice, or create multi-part stacks, such as upper third and lower fifth, and save them for instant recall. You can also thicken your vocals with Double Track. Best of all, the VE-20 is incredibly easy to use. There's no need for programming, and you don't need to input notes from a keyboard as you do with a Vocoder -- simply sing and let the VE-20 do the rest!
Phrase Loop
Sing, record, loop, and overdub with the onboard Phrase Looper, inherited from BOSS's popular RE-20XL Loop Station. You get 38 seconds of mono record time to loop and layer phrases, and you can do it all in real time onstage. From doo-wop to human-beatbox, this tool will wow audiences!
Special FX
In addition to its harmony and pitch-correction tools, the VE-20 offers a colorful and expressive collection of special effects, including Electric (made famous by artists such as Cher and Black-Eyed Peas), Robot, Strobe (rotary), Distortion, Chorus, and Reverb.
Road-Tough Design
With the same solid-metal construction as other BOSS stompboxes, the VE-20 is built to last. Its footprint is identical to BOSS Twin-Series pedals, ensuring that it will fit perfectly into existing multi-pedal BOSS pedalboards and travel cases.

Boss VE-20 Voice Performer Pedal Reviews
9 out of 10
Boss VE20 Voice Performer Customer Review
Feature:
It had the feature set that I needed. I would have liked a few more parameters to tweek but after all this is a stomp box and not a studio verb unit. While on the subject of studio, I would not hesitate to use it for session work.
Quality:
The product is the same construction as Boss's other twin pedals.
Value:
I think the pedal is a bargain.
Desirability:
Not much on sex appeal for stomp boxes. It simply works as advertised.
Sound:
Comparable to rack units in terms of sound. 30 well selected presets that can be modified into 30 user banks. I'm a sax player that wanted to have a good sounding verb and delay no matter where I went or what system I was plugged into. This met that need. I also used the octaves, harmonizer, and chorus to fatten up parts. I like that the second pedal is assignable so that I could keep my reverb delay settings and kick in the doubling and harmonizing as needed. This product was very quiet as compared to the TC Helicon Create pedal that I used. Each serve different functions but I found the boss pedal to be far more flexable and the sound much cleaner.
Ease of Use:
The box is layed out logically and five minutes with the instruction booklet had me up and running. I was able to program in 10 user patches in the first hour I had the box and I played my first gig with the box that night. Six of the ten patches I programmed in were keepers and I actually fine tuned the sounds on break and was able to dial in what I was wanting. Great that those parameters can be named, copied, swapped, and stored.
Support:
No opinion
Overall:
This pedal will be used for many years to come.
