Vocal Harmonist
Boss - VE-2
STUDIO QUALITY VOCALS IN A SIMPLE STOMPBOXThe Boss VE-2 Vocal Harmonist combinines complex sound with simple operation to deliver a complete effects solution for all singers, especially those that perform with a guitar. This portable, battery-powered stompbox has everything you need to create pristine, studio-quality sounds everywhere you sing, from concert stages and street performances to practicing and having fun at home.
The VE-2 magically creates stunning harmonized vocals that follow your singing, with pitch that automatically tracks the chords played on a connected guitar, a preset key, or a combination of the two. Using one of these three operation modes, it’s easy to create perfect real-time harmonies in any key, without needing experience with gear or music theory.
Along with harmony, the VE-2 provides essential effects to enhance your voice, such as high-quality reverb/delay and an enhancer with real-time pitch correction. Also included is a USB audio function that lets you connect to your computer and easily capture impressive VE-2 vocal sounds for music recordings, social media videos, and more.

• Solo singers can create harmonies by manually setting the song key with a dedicated panel knob
• Hybrid mode creates harmonies based on both guitar chord input and the manual key setting
• Easily dial up reverb and delay effects with a single knob
• 24 harmony types to choose from
Enhance Your Vocals
Just Plug in and Sing!When you connect your guitar to the VE-2, the Auto Harmony function detects the chords and key you play and automatically generates the correct harmony as you sing, it’s that simple! If you don’t play guitar, you can have the guitarist in your group plug in instead, or set the song’s key manually using a panel knob. Hybrid mode gives you the best of both worlds, following both the guitar chord progression and the current manual setting.
This is ideal for times when you’re playing your guitar and singing at the same time—when the guitar chords drop out, the VE-2’s manual setting instantly takes over. With these three intuitive methods, you’re able to achieve natural, stable harmonies without any knowledge of electronic gear or music theory whatsoever.
A Variety of Harmony Styles
Friendly User InterfaceFeaturing 12 different harmony types within the VE-2, you’re sure to find a sound that suits any style of music. Easily selectable with a dedicated panel knob, the types include one or two added voices in various scale intervals above and/or below your own voice. Each type also has a variation setting that incorporates more voices for even fuller harmonies. From subtle added colour to a rich ensemble sound, it’s easy to create impressive vocals using the VE-2.
The VE-2 is incredibly intuitive for anyone to use, even for vocalists that have no previous experience with sound equipment. Buttons and knob-based controls make it easy to get great sounds instantly, while the handy LED indicators show the current vocal harmony setting at a glance. The integrated multi-function footswitch allows you to turn harmony on/off or bypass the VE-2’s sound entirely as you perform, and you can also connect up to two optional footswitches for more control if you wish. In addition, you can save three favorite sounds in onboard memories and recall them at the touch of button.
You don’t have to rely on a sound engineer anymore to make your vocals sound great, everything you need is included in the VE-2. The Echo section provides high-quality reverb, delay, or a mix of both, all intuitively adjustable with a dedicated knob. Pressing the Enhance button once evens out your vocals for a more refined, studio-type sound, while a second press adds in some subtle pitch correction for stable harmony. The XLR input is compatible with a variety of professional microphone types, such as studio-level condenser mics that require phantom power to operate. Phantom power is even available when the VE-2 is operated on batteries, so you can use these high-quality mic types everywhere you perform.
Connect & Record
Easy OperationUsually, recording your singing along with real-time harmonies and sound enhancement requires a complicated setup with multiple devices, but not with the VE-2! Just connect to your computer with a USB cable and use your favourite recording software to capture your voice with harmonies and effects.
In addition to music production and songwriting applications, this also gives singers a simple way to achieve impressive vocal sounds while recording performances for social media videos. Using the VE-2’s Loopback function, you can mix audio playback from your computer with the mic sound, allowing you to easily record sing-alongs with backing tracks and karaoke tunes.
