By the way, there is 48V DC phantom power for the XLR, in case you plan to use a condenser microphone. We tested the pedal beforehand and got some really good effective sounds, the harmony's 3rd and 5th sound excellent if sung in the correct key, but, but, when we played live we had some initial problems achieving the correct sound level because the Ve-20 kept feeding back through the foldback, big problem if you can't hear what's coming back through the foldback, at the moment I'm reserving judgement because I haven't had time to play with the Ve-20, but prior to the gig it sounded excellent.

In addition to its harmony and pitch-correction tools, the VE-20 offers a colourful and expressive collection of special effects, including Electric (made famous by artists such as Cher and Black-Eyed Peas), Robot, Strobe (rotary), Distortion, Chorus, and Reverb.

I have the Hedra and love it, but honestly not sure if I could use it for more than a couple of songs on a live gig as it's difficult to save presets. The 30 that come from the factory are actually pretty good, and if you just want the basic you could probably get away with just using theirs. The vocal harmonies are 3rd and 5th notes (both aboveand below the root note) along with the usual silly settings such as 'robot' and 'radio' voice (the robot voice actually sounds similar to the effect used by Phil Lynott on Thin Lizzy's Killer On The Loose).The BOSS VE-20 Vocal Performer has been designed from the ground up for singers, featuring some of the finest vocal-effects and simple operation.

To this end, editing is dead easy, with perhaps the two most crucial parameters instantly available - one being the previously mentioned reverb level and the other being the key for the harmonies, which is accessed by a single press of the right cursor - the rotary knob choosing a key other than the default C major setting. I haven't used it live as yet but if all you need is harmony plus maybe a bit of chorus and effects it'll do the job out the box. There was no added noise or coloration other than what was asked for, and the vocals were as clear as a bell. In addition to its harmony and pitch-correction tools, the VE-20 offers a colorful and expressive collection of special effects, including Electric (made famous by artists such as Cher and Black-Eyed Peas), Robot, Strobe (rotary), Distortion, Chorus, and Reverb.The harmonizing is a nice addition as well but the effects and natural processing for the voice are the main attraction. There are also a few LEDs that indicate whether the power is ON, the status of the harmony pedal and if the unit is recording. There was time when it was only guitarists who used stompboxes, but lately vocalists have been getting in on the act with specialised pedals that can generate harmonies, add reverb and even correct their out of tune warblings. There are rudimentary effects built into my mixers, but it often takes a little more to church up people’s voices so that sober people’s ears don’t burn too badly. While the harmonies are an important part of the VE-20, BOSS has also put in plenty of vocal effects should you want to sound like a robot, Cher, or even a tinny radio.
