■Top-of-the-line vocal effects

BOSS is a pioneer of vocal effectors and has released numerous products. The VE-22 is equipped with a variety of effects developed using the technology and know-how cultivated over the years. You can add rich reverberation to create a sound that envelops the audience, or use an electric voice that emphasizes pitch changes or a singing voice that sounds like it's being played through a loudspeaker to give the song more definition. It also includes 50 presets created in collaboration with BOSS engineers and artists. There are many ready-to-use presets, including iconic sounds that everyone has heard, so you can use them in your performances right away.

■Pursuing simple operability

The bright color display with excellent visibility allows you to instantly understand the status of effects even on a dark stage. You can perform with confidence. Additionally, the knobs provided for each of HARMONY, EFFECT, and ECHO provide extremely simple operability. Turn the knob to adjust parameters, click to turn on/off each function, and double-click to make more detailed settings. You can save up to 99 sounds you create as user memory. Furthermore, the pedal switch on the main unit also supports customization of functions. It is designed to be easy to operate even on a desktop, making it suitable for use in streaming.

■Natural and diverse harmony

VE-22 is equipped with a HARMONY function that can be turned on/off with a pedal switch. Just by setting the key of the song, even one person can create beautiful harmonies. It also supports not only the number and volume of harmonies, but also deeper settings. Depending on your ideas, the range of expression can be greatly expanded, such as by shifting the stereo position to give the harmony a wider range, or by changing the voice quality to change the atmosphere.

■Get a higher-grade beautiful singing voice with the VE-22, which also comes with a full range of effects to improve your singing voice. ENHANCE increases voice clarity, COMP reduces volume variation, and DE-ESSER reduces harsh sibilance to bring out the appeal of vocalists. In addition to dynamic microphones, it also supports the connection of condenser microphones that require phantom power. By setting the input sensitivity appropriately using the MIC SENS knob on the back, you can output beautiful singing voices with less noise. If the level of the mic is insufficient even when the knob is turned to its maximum value, you can use it without connecting a preamp by switching the GAIN setting from LOW to HIGH. The VE-22 delivers high quality sound with any microphone.

■Realize a fulfilling vocal life

VE-22 is useful not only for live performances but also for various situations. The USB terminal has an audio interface function and can be connected to a smartphone or PC. Easily record studio-quality sound, stream performances, and create content. By connecting headphones to the main unit, you can listen to your own singing voice using effects and HARMONY functions, so you can rehearse just like a real performance in your dressing room or at home, along with the sound source played from your smartphone.
