BOSS ANNOUNCES VE-20 VOCAL PERFORMER - Quality Boss Effects Designed Specifically for the Vocalist

Sept. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Boss is pleased to bring quality vocal effects processing to the performing vocalist, all in the compact design and simplicity of a twin-pedal stompbox, with the VE-20 Vocal Performer.

The new, easy-to-use Boss VE-20 has been designed for singers and features some of the finest vocal effects technology available.  The VE-20 is ideal for all types of vocal expression, including traditional singing, narration, and beat boxing.

The Boss VE-20 comes with all the vocal effects you need to add unique flair to your performance.  With the click of a footswitch all types of vocal effects can be achieved; lush vocal doubling and harmonies, real-time pitch correction, delay, reverb, limiting, and special effects — such as distortion, robot, chromatic, radio, and strobe.  Layers and loops can also be created in real time with the onboard phrase looper.

The tough construction of the Boss VE-20, as well as its ability to run for hours on six AA batteries, makes it the ultimate portable pedal for vocalists. With stereo XLR outputs, ¼” and XLR inputs, and a simple user interface, the VE-20 is perfect for serious live-performance or recording.

“More and more bands are incorporating vocal effects into their live and studio performances,” says Paul Youngblood, President of Boss. “We’re pleased to bring high quality Boss effects to vocal performers everywhere.”

The VE-20 will be available in December 2009, RRP £199. For more information: http://www.roland.co.uk/articles/default.aspx?c=30&a=10446
