■Your Dedicated Professional Sound Engineer Achieving the rich vocals you hear on stage or in recordings is a very high hurdle for most vocalists, unless they have a professional sound engineer. The VE-1 lets you produce the sound of your dreams, anytime, anywhere, just as if you had your own dedicated professional engineer. It delivers authentic professional sound in a variety of situations, from street performances to studio practice and live performances in cafes and clubs.

■ Studio-level settings at a touch, anywhere The seven preset echoes don't simply change the effect level. They incorporate the expertise of the world's top recording engineers and combine multiple effects for complex studio-level adjustments, allowing you to achieve authentic vocal echo in any live situation. Not only does it deepen the echo, but it also preserves the core of the vocals, bringing out a beautiful, deep resonance.

■ It's natural to change vocal settings for each song. On stage, the vocal tone required often changes depending on the song and situation. Sing a soft ballad, a hard rock tune, or a conversation with the audience. The VE-1 makes it easy to turn on only ENHANCE and turn off all other effects during MCs between songs. The memory function also lets you switch between up to four sound variations, including the current setting.

■ Take your vocal recording to the next level
The VE-1 is useful not only during performances, but also as an audio interface when connected to a PC. For example, it can dramatically improve the quality of your vocal sound when creating vocal videos to upload to YouTube. It offers a variety of modes, including not only recording your vocals with effects applied, but also mixing your vocals with backing sounds from your PC.
