Review: Fantastic product! - This is a wonderful product. I work in a duo and it has totally transformed our act. The reverb and echo effects are superior to what we already had on our P.A. and the marmony affects are simply staggering. The combination and variety of harmonies available add a third and fouth member to our act (both male and female if we choose) whenever we want to add that special touch on choruses or for a particular mood in a song. It is also fantastically simple to use. Just dial in what you want and you're off at the click of the footpedal pedal. Great value too.
Review: Good - Better than built-in efffects.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When guitar is plugged into the pedal and reverb/delay are turned on, does this apply the effects to the guitar as well as the vocal?**
A: The guitar input and thru are just so the VE2 can track the chord variations on the voice so all the effect is on the voice. the guitar is plugged in and thru to another device and then and amp. i hope this makes sense.

**Q: Hello,with your guitar and mic both connected , do then both signals come out of one amp with one input? Thankyou.**
A: No. The guitar signal is just to tune the harmonies to the guitar. There is a guitar IN and guitar OUT but it doesn't feed out to the microphone output.  Your guitar OUT needs to go to a guitar amplifier and the microphone output to the PA amplifier.  If you have a guitar amplifier that can take a microphone channel as well then you can connect both feeds together at that point.  If your 2-Channel amplifier doesn't have an XLR balanced input you can use the headphone output on the VE-2 with a suitable audio cable - mini stereo jack plug to standard jack plug cable.

**Q: How do you set it up on my chrome os computer? As I want to use it on karaoke singsnap**
A: Hello, The support is for Windows and Mac so you will need to emulate in order for it to work. You should check your Chrome manual for using Windows drivers: http://www.bossus.com/products/ve-1/downloads/

**Q: Can I plug this in to keep vocal pitch before a loop pedal?**
A: Yes, the guitar input is a thru so it just goes straight from there into a pedal, amp or interface. The only thing is when you stop playing the guitar you lose the pitch of the harmony. You can select a key to sing in which works ok on major keys but it wouldn't pick up the flattened 3rd in a minor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The 'Greatest Hits of Pedals'
*by M***Y on 8 July 2016*

someone has previously described this as the 'Greatest Hits' of pedals - does it all . Not cheap, especially considering it rather bizarrely doesn't come with a mains adaptor, but it's very well built ; metal casing. I'm using it to enhance my tenor sax playing, mainly using the Double Voice tool, which is bolstering the sax sound. Others I know are using it for flute, and of course vocals. It has it's own independent reverb facility too. I think this unit needs a lot of time spent exploring the different sounds available, so be prepared to put that time in, but it is absolutely the perfect pedal for Voice and instrument harmonizing and enhancement.
