BOSS VE-22 Overview

Take your vocal performances and productions to the next level with the VE-22 Vocal Performer from BOSS, a powerful microphone preamp, effects processor, and looper specifically engineered to provide a wide variety of high-quality vocal effects, ranging from subtle polishing to dramatic voice-altering weirdness. The compact and portable unit runs on four AA batteries (included) or an AC power adapter (available separately) and offers an intuitive interface with large multifunction knobs, 3 customizable switches, and a big LCD screen that makes it quick and easy to dial in and tweak the results.

Simply plug your microphone into the XLR connector and connect the stereo XLR outputs to your mixer or PA system and you're ready to record or perform with 39 different effects at your disposal; there's also a USB-C port for computers and mobile devices, along with a headphone jack for monitoring. BOSS's proprietary Adaptive Focus method on the A/D and D/A converters and 32-bit floating point processing ensures professional-quality sound with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

Outstanding BOSS Vocal Effects
The VE-22 is packed with the latest advancements in BOSS's acclaimed Vocal Performer technology. Bolster your voice with core processing and make the sound come alive with immersive delays and reverbs. Then explore a universe of electronic colors and aggressive textures with auto pitch, distortion, lo-fi, modulation, and other cool voice transforming effects. There are 50 presets with ready-to-go sounds, plus 99 memories to store custom combinations for different songs and styles.
Harmonies that Impress
Powerful harmony and doubling functions make it simple to create head-turning ensemble effects from a single voice. Just select a type, set the song key, and start singing. It's easy to change up the harmony voicing, adjust levels, and more with the panel knobs. You can also assign the harmonies to an onboard switch and bring them in and out as needed while performing.
Create in the Moment
The uncomplicated interface encourages you to get creative with your live vocal sound. The Harmony, Effect, and Echo sections feature multifunction knobs, letting you tweak top-level parameters, turn off a section with a click, or dive into deeper settings with a double click. And with the color display and lighted rings around the knobs, you always have a clear view of what's happening. Three customizable switches are designed for control with your feet or hands, and you can connect an expression pedal or external footswitches for more control if needed.
Perform with Confidence
The VE-22 gives you everything you need to deliver top-quality sound to a house PA system, stage amplifier, or recorder. There's an XLR input and integrated preamp for a professional stage microphone, plus 48V phantom power for high-end condenser types. A high/low gain switch, rear-panel sensitivity knob, and level meter enable you to optimize the input signal for nearly any mic. A compressor, EQ, de-esser, and other studio essentials are also on hand, ready to support every performance with smooth, authoritative sound. Create new compositions using the built-in phrase looper to repeat musical passages up to 37 seconds in length.
Express Yourself
With USB-C, an analog aux input, and a headphone jack, the VE-22 supports vocal activities from daily practice and recording to livestreaming on social media. Connect to a computer or mobile device and send mix-ready vocals directly to song production software and streaming apps. Or play backing music through the VE-22 and sing along with inspiring sound as you warm up for gigs, learn new songs, and perform.
