General

BOSS' VE-500 is a vocal effects pedal designed for singers who also play the guitar. It offers a wide range of vocal effects to give you the same versatility as you get when you use multi-effects on your instrument. That means you can tweak the sound of your voice and add things like pitch correction as well as harmonies. Vocoder and talkbox effects are among the possibilities too. All of these are influenced by the notes you play on the guitar. Naturally, there's a guitar thru output for sending an unprocessed signal to your effects pedals or amplifier as well.

VE-500 for the ultimate vocal performance

The harmony function can also be managed via the USB input using a MIDI keyboard, for instance. There's a de-esser, a compressor and an EQ on board that can all be used to shape your vocals and you can add up to nine different effects in all! Naturally, reverb, delay, modulation and distortion are among the many possibilities. BOSS has designed the VE-500 to sit beside the guitar effects on your pedalboard and it goes without saying that's it just as handy in the studio as it is for live performances.

You're in control

The VE-500 even has a looper on board for even greater versatility. You don't have to worry about fiddling around with lots of settings during your performance either. Simply set up sounds beforehand and save them to one of the 99 memory banks for instant recall whenever you need them. For editing effects in greater detail, the Vocal Performer can be connected to a computer via the USB input. If you're using a condenser microphone, the VE-500 will supply it with phantom power too.

Brilliant pedal and a great deal from Bax Music they provide a great service I have no problems in recommending
them. As a musician of some 52 years I can look them up for some very fair prices and deals whether your'e a Pro or
someone just starting out, I bought one of their Fazely guitars also for my grandson and I have to say I am very
impressed by the quality and price of their own in house guitars and according to you tube there are many other favourable reviews for their instruments.
I will definitely be using them again

J'avais tenté des des effets voix pedale et pas convaincu. Là c'est très différent, comolet, efficace, même le vocoder est qualitatif. Seul bémol il faut se creuser un peu la tête car la notice n'est pas super claire. Utilisé sur un pedalboard pour du live , c'est excellent. J'ai associé avec une pédale d'expression ev30 top

Wrote the following about Boss VE-500 Vocal Performer vocal effects pedal
De VE-500 is een mooi apparaat, klinkt goed en is redelijk gebruikersvriendelijk. Groot nadeel is dat hij zelfs bij duidelijke basic akkoorden verkeerde harmonieën kiest, bij majeur bijvoorbeeld glashard een mineur koordje wat tenenkrullend is. Tevens reageren de harmonieën ook erg traag waardoor er duidelijk foute intervallen ontstaan en bij snellere lyrics wordt dat een rommeltje. Dan kun je hem gewoon simpelweg niet gebruiken. Als je per ongeluk twee knoppen indrukt, wat af en toe wel gebeurt als je aan het spelen bent en niet precies weet waar ie staat, dan zit je zomaar in de bypass en klinkt je wel heel erg droog plotseling en moet je even zoeken naar de goede combinatie om hem weer te activeren. Lastig tijdens een optreden, ik hou niet zo van zo'n afleiding.

Maar ook ere wie ere toekomt, er zitten echt hele mooie patches in die heel goed bruikbaar zijn en geweldig klinken. Dus los van de rammelende harmonizer is ie zéker de moeite waard.

Mijn idee: oefen de stukken met de harmonizer, luister waar ie niet goed werkt en zet hem daar dan ook niet in. Misschien een apart pedaal voor de harmonizer, dan kun je niet mistrappen of herprogrammering van de functies. Jammer van de minpunten, maar geen spijt tot nu toe.

Ik sta open voor tips voor wat betreft de harmonizer-issues.

Ik ben eigenlijk zeer verrast door dit apparaat! Ik werk intussen al een 20-tal jaar met de vocal processors van TC helicon, maar ik vind het geluid van deze ve500 gewoon nog beter, zuiverder, preciezer, en gemakkelijker te editten.

De interface is zeer duidelijk en met een minimum aan handleiding lezen/even op internet kijken wijst alles zichzelf uit. Ik heb de editor gedownload en reeds gebruikt, maar voor mij is werken zonder de editor even makkelijk.

Ik ben al vele jaren klant bij Bax Shop, en aangezien ik hier blijf terugkomen zal dat wel willen zeggen dat ik zeer tevreden ben over hun service :-)

J'ai acheté ce produit en stock B donc un peu moins cher que le prix du neuf. Le matériel reçu est dans un état irréprochable. J'ai acheté auparavant le voice live 3 extrem qui est tombé en panne (sous garantie) le problème c'est que le voice live fait également simulateur d'ampli guitare..donc plus de micro et plus de guitare. Après réflexion j'ai décidé d’acquérir le boss VE 500 qui ne fait que la voix et utiliser comme simulateur d'ampli le BOSS GT100. Comme évoqué dans l'avis précédent il faut oublier la doc papier, télécharger le manuel et prendre du temps pour maîtriser les fonctionnalités de l'appareil (téléchargement du logiciel dédié quasi obligatoire) Je le décortique depuis 48 heures et le VE500 correspond à mes attentes.

Ça commence très mal avec un mode d'emploi totalement indigent.

Il y a vraiment chez Boss des gens qui planchent sur le moyen d'informer leurs clients du contenu de leurs produits ?

Alors ce sont probablement des infiltrés de la concurrence qui veulent torpiller la boite .

Donc poisson d'avril pour le mode d'emploi, je vous laisse chercher sur leur site le document qui sauve, il existe.

ça va mieux quand on l'a en main, imprimé par nos soins... en anglais.

Et quel festival !

Impressionnant de technologie, un outil hyper doté de fonctions pas croyables.

J'en demandais pas tant.

Trop pour moi, j'ai remballé.
