Boss VE - 20 Vocal Processor Demo / Review Featured In Guitar Interactive Magazine 

For those who do not really know who he is, he's from the group 10cc . Ya, the same band that gave us big time hits such as Dreadlock Holiday, Rubber Bullets and that classic, I'm Not In Love. Yes, that Mick Wilson, alright. Still going strong!

I do not care about the effects, looping, or harmony. But all the vocal settings are super. I use slight doubling, compression. reverb, delay, and light pitch correct. You can adjust all of them from 1 to 100. You can fine tune your vocals like never before. All the other stuff is a waste for me but its worth the price just what I use it for. It takes up a lot of room on my acoustic pedal board but I live with it.

I love to hear a product review from someone who really knows how the VE-20 operates. GOOD JOB, THANKS FOR THIS INFORMATIVE REVIEW!

Mr. Wilson,you are a complete professional and your review is very, very good. The VE-20 is my unique choice from other VE's, and now I know it!

Outstanding. Best demo of the VE-20 for working musicians - I'd say it's the ONLY really useful, watchable demo on RU-vid, period. Thanks.

Great video, amazing this pedal I still swinging hard with all the new gear, after all years its been out, says a lot for Boss! Tku for great video

Bro, me encantó ese pequeño performance al inicio del vídeo, tu voz es increíble. El pedal es increíble también

Great voice and deep VE20 knowledge. Thanks!

he's supercool, I'd totally listen to his stuff

This is truly amazing. People who don't sing or perform will not understand how unique this is.

Great Tutorial!! I got one of these from a friend who just couldn't figure it out - I'm going to use the Heck out of it thanks to your great instruction!

Great rundown..ive had mine like 10 years and i learmt some useful stuff from your review buddy..

Dying to hear the rest of the first song!

Great voice

The second song reminds very much of me of Squeeze. Great voice.

Your a Legend Mic Thx for making time todo this Super info video .. getting this pedal

I love this dudes style.

Great demo and review.

hey this guy is actually pretty cool

I love your voice. It reminds me of George Michael in some areas. ...and then you began speaking and you have a British accent! Again, your vocals and style are absolutely world class!

This pedal seems like hours of fun, I'd love to run some drums through this and see what happens. Very informative video, cheers!

If it's good enough for Mick Wilson to endorse; it's good enough for me. 👍

Hello! What were the reverb settings at 2:00? It sounded really nice

I LOVE THIS GUYS VOICE :D

Wow - you are awesome...I have the Boss VE-20 and haven't a clue how to use it....so I need to start learning some cool sound effects.

Thank you Mike. Greetings from Germany.

thanks for the video, so informative but wondered if you could help me out with the loop recording you mention @13.30, where you say you can effectively record a loop into a pre-set? Did I get that right? What im trying to do is record a loop there I can stop and start it during a song. can you help?

THIS GUY FUCKIN' ROCKED IT, EXCELLENT VOICE AND PLAYIN' BRUH

fucking awesome dude! coolest demo video i've ever seen!

Nice man! Just a question here: how do I save a specific effect I want to use? So I dont need to go over to do the manual process over n over again I mean

Excellent sound systems. Thx!

Your playing in beginning was very good!

I like the use of the music stand. I’m assuming it’s for the purpose of this demonstration. I’m considering the VE-5 over this simply to avoid the need to bend to the floor to Adjust select etc. Is it a viable option to place this unit on a music stand at live events? Are the pedals easy enough to push without pushing the music stand over?

super helpful thanks!

Love this voice!

hello... just want to Ask. which is better boss ve 20 with boss ve 5? use for accoustic singer. thank you guitar interactive...

never thought I'd feel this way..OW OW OWUH OW!

Great review. Thanks.

What cords are you using for the audio outs on the back of the ve-20 that go to the mixer?

What a great singer!

Does this mean that I can only choose the 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th or octave for harmony? I can't for an example choose the 9th or even the #11 or b6? And are you able to choose if the octave or any other interval is placed below or above your own voice?

This demo is selling me. Been searching for a new pedal.

Thank you for a great presentation and review! Now, I would like to get reverb to various instruments (e.g. guitar, harmonica) alongside the vocal, I first connect them to a mixer, and then plug the VE20 into the mixers FX AUX?

encyclopaedic demo ! kudos.... 6 years later

Thanks for this man!

is this one like the looper? where you can layer your voice on top of another, kinda like doing your own beats acapella ?????

This guy is everywhere. Plays live with 10cc, live with ELO, random youtube videos WHO ARE YOU

Does anyone know what amp you need to fit the boss ve20 pedal. You know so that when you play an instrument the actual sound can come out as these don’t have built in speakers do they. Thanks

How can you change the preset mid song without having to use your hands?

You sound superb! Hey, does someone know: if I am mic'ing pitches that are not in an actual key, will the harmonizer work?..like so the harmony or octave sound will be appropriate and not get forced into a conventional key, like for performance art or meditation? Thanks!

Thanks! Very helpful.

How you set 79 user preset? It's Amazing *-* sorry for my english

Is it possible to have two different effects on one preset? For example, can the left pedal activate a radio effect, while the right pedal deactivates the radio effect and applies delay and reverb instead?

If you record a vocal loop for example can you pause and play when you want. I find that when I want to pause I loose the recorded vocals

Hi do you know which speakers you need to hear sound please for this pedal?

Mick Wilson, why aren't you famous?

What model and make is that acoustic guitar ? it sounds good

youGreat voice and deep VE20 knowledge. Thanks!'

Soooo good!

Love the demo. What is the best setting for a 1960's "Sonics" Vocal sound Thanks.

I would like to know, what microphone you use? Beyerdynamic TG V71d or TG V70d? It sounds great!!! Thank you!!!

to bypass all fx and talk: hold down the right pedal for 2 seconds at the end of the song (let's you scroll < > thru presets). store a blank (fx off) preset between each of your (fx on) presets.

That song at 4:00 in is absolutely epic, I love it!

Pelo amor de Deus! Galera é o seguinte: Eu comprei a Boss Ve 20. Segui as instruções do manual de ligar e tudo mais. Resetei ela várias vezes já para ver se tinha alguma coisa errada e o problema não resolve. O valor "Sens do mic" está em 40. Não tem mais nada ligado nela, apenas reverb e delay. Quando eu vou ligar ela fica uma apitação sem fim! Ai o sinal dela vem super comprimido. mesmo ela não tendo compressor. Fica uma compressão chata sem fim. O vocal até satura nas vogais abertas. Resumindo, não estou conseguindo regular ela de jeito nenhum. Alguem poderia ma passar alguma sugestão geral de regulagem que funcione?

please, what is the first song?

While singing live, how can it make the difference between a minor or a major harmony?

Can we connect both guitar and microphone in the processor?

If you record different layers with the loop can you save them on the system so you don't have to play the different layers every single time?

Just a quick question, can you take it down 1/2 step? Like the vid, much better than mist. Want to use it live and we’re always 1/2 step down. Cheers Rik?

Can you mic an acoustic guitar to get the effects you would for voice??

Very cool thanks !!!

Does anyone know the title and artist on the "All dressed up" tune?

You have to set the key for each individual song?

Anyone can tell me if it's possible stop and play one loop? How? Thanks😊

The effects are great, I play saxophone with ve-20, but all the sfx, comp, eq and enhancer make the whole sound too shouty and ringy. When they are all off, using the basic effects is super fun and the looper is excellent for creativity. I wish the looper had an undo and also could be switched off without losing the loop.

Man, you've got a fantastic sounding voice. Why aren't you on the radio?

I saw your review on Boss Ve2 Is this Ve20 worth the extra money and size, cost?..

rock plus radio that one is really cool just got it set up thx really help

GREAT !!!

How do you set the pedal to Pop & Radio?

Great singer!

Beautiful

I have got a sennheiser wireless mic, and when I connect through my Boss VE20 into the mixer, there is a constant humming. Not sure if it's the setting Is on stero and I'm using mono, or I have another setting incorrect? Any help...

"Mic" Wilson. The right guy for the job.

How do you connect it to other pedals? I keep on trying and am only getting the sounds of the boss ve20 but not the other pedals

gostaria do contato ,pra saber como colocar um efeito de voz rock por exemplo e colocar oefeito radio juntos no mesmo

My goodness. Does anyone know the title of that first song? Or is it something of his? I really want to find it.

Nice voice!

Very good voice

Please please please tell me the name if the second song. In the minute 0:37

Anyone know whether you can get an autotune sound with this?

This is fkn fantastic

Does this have a reverse reverb effect?

Wow, This Guy's 🔥 Amazing..

EXCELLENT

Nice big pedals, but are they momentary ? Tricky switching pedals on/off and you can't see th.stsnding up, also adds noise to an acoustic set which is picked up by the mics

What happens to the device? Use a non-PSA power adapter رد

Can I use this to create high quality recording in my home studio?

Very helpful video. Quite challenging trying to figure which vocal processor would be best for me. VE-20, VE-1, the Digitech's, TC Helicon, etc... I am definitely leaning towards the VE-20 thanks to this video!

anyone knows the name of the first song? i love it!
