■Top-notch vocal effects
As a pioneer in vocal effects, BOSS has produced numerous products. The VE-22 is packed with a wide range of effects developed with the full breadth of technology and know-how cultivated over the years. Add rich reverb to create a sound that envelops the audience, or enhance your song's development with electric vocals that emphasize pitch changes or vocals that sound like they've been filtered through a loudspeaker. It also includes 50 presets created in collaboration with BOSS engineers and artists. Starting with classic sounds that everyone knows, many ready-to-use presets are available for immediate use in your performances.

■Natural and diverse harmony
The VE-22 features a HARMONY function that can be turned on/off with a pedal switch. Simply set the key of your song and you'll be able to create beautiful harmonies even on your own. In addition to adjusting the number and volume of harmonies, you can also go deeper with the controls. Shifting the panning to broaden the harmony, or changing the vocal quality to alter the atmosphere, greatly expands the scope of expression depending on your ideas.

■ Pursuing Simple Operation The highly visible, vivid color display lets you instantly grasp the effect status, even on a dark stage. You can perform with confidence. The knobs provided for HARMONY, EFFECT, and ECHO make operation extremely simple. Turn the knob to adjust parameters, click to turn each function on/off, and double-click for more detailed settings. Save up to 99 sounds you create as user memories. The built-in pedal switch also supports customization of functions. Designed for easy operation on a desktop, it's also ideal for use during live streaming.

■Get a beautiful singing voice that's one level above the rest
The VE-22 also comes with a full range of effects to polish your singing voice. ENHANCE increases vocal clarity, COMP reduces volume variations, and DE-ESSER reduces harsh sibilants, bringing out the vocalist's charm even more. It also supports connection of not only dynamic microphones, but also condenser microphones that require phantom power. By adjusting the input sensitivity appropriately with the MIC SENS knob on the back, you can output beautiful vocals with little noise. If the microphone's level is insufficient even when the knob is set to its maximum, try adjusting the GAIN setting from LOW to 100%.
By switching to HIGH, you can use it without connecting a preamp. The VE-22 delivers high-quality sound with any microphone.

■Realize a fulfilling vocal life
The VE-22 is useful not only for live performances, but also in a variety of situations. The USB port functions as an audio interface, allowing connection to a smartphone or PC. Recording with studio-quality sound, streaming performances, and content creation are all easily possible. By connecting headphones to the unit, you can listen to your own voice using effects and the HARMONY function, and combine it with the audio played from your smartphone for a real-life rehearsal experience in the dressing room or at home.
