Now shipping, the Boss VE-20 Vocal Performer ($343.50 MSRP) puts powerful vocal effects processing into a compact, twin-pedal stompbox. The portable unit is designed to be used for all types of vocal performances, from traditional singing and narration to beat boxing.

Use the VE-20 in the same way that a guitarist would use an effects pedal. Click the footswitch to add vocal doubling and harmonies, real-time pitch correction, delay, reverb, limiting, and special effects (such as Distortion, Robot, Chromatic, Radio, and Strobe) to your performance. Engage the Phrase Looper to add layers and loops to your voice in real-time.

The portable VE-20 runs for hours on six AA batteries, and has stereo XLR outputs, 1/4-inch inputs, XLR inputs, and a simple user interface. To learn more about the VE-20, visit bossus.com.
