Add a full range of studio polish to your voice

Echo is just one of the things that the BOSS VE-1 Vocal Echo lets you do. In fact, it comes loaded with a smattering of cool effects and processors, making it easy to add a touch of studio magic to your live vocals. If you'd like to smooth out your vocals just a touch, just hit the VE-1's Enhance button and you'll be rewarded with a healthy dose of studio polish. Hit it again and you'll add in subtle but effective automatic pitch correction, which not only help you stay in tune in loud environments in which you can't hear yourself as well as you'd like, it even lets you dial in hard-tuned electronic-sounding vocals.

A perfect vocal tool onstage or in the studio

Great vocals aren't just important onstage, they're absolutely essential in the studio as well, just ask any Sweetwater recording specialist. That's why BOSS designed the VE-1 Vocal Echo to be as flexible as possible. To begin with, the VE-1 runs on four AA batteries and still provide reliable phantom power to your favorite condenser microphone. Easy-to-reach buttons also let you store and recall your favorite settings. On the flip side, USB connectivity allows the VE-1 to double as an audio interface, so you can take everything it has to offer into the studio.
