Boss VO-1 Vocoder effects pedal

General

The Boss VO-1 vocoder stomp box makes it possible to integrate the sound of a human voice in your guitar or bass playing. It allows you to emulate electronic voices, talk-box effects or even choirs with your guitar or bass and offers impressive possibilities so you can breathe new life into your music. The famous synth technology Boss has held a patent for ever since the eighties is responsible for this revolutionary pedal. It's a straightforward device as well - just plug in your guitar and start rockin'!

Powerful expression for guitar and bass

The human voice and its enormous range is undoubtedly the most expressive instrument there is. Now, with the VO-1, every guitarist and bassist can now wield this incredible vocal range. Manipulate your sound with this vocoder and experiment with speech-like effects, electronic voices, a talk-box, wah sounds or even an entire choir. This is an especially handy feature for adding full-sounding backing vocals to your tracks. Keyboard players have been using the vocoder ever since the seventies, but the effect has never been available for guitarists until now.

Unlimited potential

The seemingly endless choices this VO-1 has to offer are simplified into four simple controls. Simply hook up your instrument as you would any other pedal, only with the addition of a microphone, which you'll need for the first three modes. Don't worry, though, you don't even need to be able to sing! Just play the parts on your bass or guitar and transform your own voice using the selection of electronic vocal effects this pedal has to offer. The VO-1 also enables you to mix external effects with the vocoder sounds via the effects loop.
