Scott Tibbs (keys) and Alexx Daye (Vocals) demo the Boss VE-20 Vocal Processor at the 2010 Winter NAMM show. All the vocal effects are created using the VE-20.
The VE-20 sounds good NOW...but it really doesn't. Give it a couple years and it will sound cheap and thin....Give BOSS a few more versions to tweak it and it will sound better than it does now. The harmonies are too processed....they have a slight delay that is obvious... the other effects are generic and can be obtained with any guitar pedal or effects algorithm.
@chriswtburke - You have to be more specific: saying the "harmonies are out" could mean different things. The machine follows chords and creates harmonies based on whatever scale (mode was chosen-I presume) - if the chosen scale is NOT proper for the chord progression some notes would of course be "out" - unless you mean to say its pitch fluctuates from the 440hz tuning?
Whoa - can't believe the technology bashers with negative attitudes! Fact - a vocalist HAS to be able to sing on key to even use a pitch correction device. All this does is pull up or down the almost exact 440 to it's level. I was born with perfect pitch - while I don't use pitch correction, I actually could use it on a night where I'm dead tired from singing 4 - 45 minute sets.
The harmony breakthru in recent years is nothing less than awesome - I say congrats Boss, TC Helicon, Digitech!
ye guys lets not plug in our guitars or use a mike or any guitar effects, lets smash up all the technical stuff lets never record or ever try to crawl out of the primeval pond. get a grip it is a great tool for pub singers
@uglemanden - I respect your opinion, and creativity. However, in my honest opinion I think music should truly be defined by those limitations of the human voice. Then ones music would truly be a symble of what they are capable of. But I am in agreement about your dislike for "pitch correction". Now we have machines that make it possible for those who can even sing in key or in tune to perform.
BOSS,IS THE KING,OF EFFECT PEDALS!!!

A few more models, I say.
I'll wait.
