BOSS Ve-8 Acoustic Singer

Product Information

As a general principle, I like to have options and flexibility in the choice of individual components in my system and prefer to select their combination myself, not have it done for me by one manufacturer and being restricted to their products only - otherwise known as "selling technology by the pound". If your looping needs are simple and you don't need an undo function for the last overdub layer, it could even take the place of a dedicated pedal.

So a glitch here and there, and as EA mentioned, serious loopers won't go for the '2 presses to stop looping' function. This in-depth breakdown consists of my findings based off what it is that I’m looking for in a pedal. I'd like to have more options for the harmonies especially, like gender, response time (for example, the double effect can't be made tighter). I've just had some bad experiences with another multi effects by another very famous brand so I'm happy to have a Boss pedal now.

Because when i use the looper and have a rhythm part running Id like to increase the volume of the guitar output when i play lead over it . IMO, the Aura system still sounds pretty darn good - at least as far as direct plug-in systems, it seems to sound the most full and natural to me overall, even as they keep coming out with new ways to mount mics and pickups and things, the AURA still sounds about as good as a "plugged in" acoustic can I suppose. I haven't found much live use for the harmoniser yet, and the soft and hard voice correct function is a bit strange, I sing in tune so I probably wouldn't use it anyway, but it seems to me to add a strange doubled note to the vocals.The Boss VE-8 Acoustic Singer delivers that extra edge you need to stand out and shine, supporting you with professional BOSS sound every time you perform.

Acoustic resonance” is awesome and, out of the three pedals, I think the VE-8 would satisfy guitar purists the most. This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. In this way, consumers give each other guidance and give us the opportunity to continuously improve. The studio-quality vocal processing produces exceptional audio quality while retaining the nuances of the original sound. And honestly, if the VE-8 looper could record for 4 or 5 minutes instead of just 80 seconds so I could lay down an entire song, I'd be tempted to sell my pedalboard and just go with the VE-8 for the compactness.We use cookies to analyse site usage, provide social media features and personalise content and ads.

If you want to hear the Boss in action, I recorded my solo acoustic version of "When The War Is Over" by Australian band Cold Chisel. The Play Acoustic loops extremely similar to the Vocalist; however, the amount of time you can loop for is shorter. Process your guitar and vox in real time with a phantom-powered mic preamp to create rich harmonies and pitch correct, then add authentic Boss effects like the Mod Delay and Chorus all from the comfort of a single box.One big one is, unlike the Ditto, with the VE-8 you can't undo the last layer, so if you mess up you have to start from scratch. Improvements in playing and singing happen so slowly day by day that sometimes I just have to step back and observe how far I have come. This is part of the reason why we are looking at other options than the VE-8 - lack of enough inputs. While, overall, everything here is pretty simple, I found this to be the least intuitive of the pedals from the start. This may not be an issue once you get used to the pedal and know what the abbreviations that are important to you mean, but, until then, you better get used to having the user’s manual nearby.
