Item No. : 161649
The specialist's opinion
Professional-grade vocals in one easy-to-use pedal.
Specification
This battery-powered pedal packs everything you need to create studio-quality sounds no matter where you perform - whether it's a gig or curb, for rehearsals or for hobbyist practice at home . The VE-2 magically creates the harmony of your vocals, the pitch of the notes respecting the chords played on the guitar connected to the pedal, the tone programmed in advance, or a combination of the two. Thanks to these three modes, it's easy to create real-time vocal harmonization in any key, even if you don't know anything about music theory. In addition to the automatic harmonization, the VE-2 contains the essential effects to beautify your voice, such as a quality Reverb / Delay or an Enhancer with pitch correction in real time. As for the USB Audio function, it allows you to connect to a computer to record your harmonized voice and incorporate it into your models, your videos published online, etc.
Real-time harmonization and quality effects in a simple, affordable and easy-to-use pedal
The Auto Harmony function automatically recognizes the chords played on the guitar connected to the pedal and generates the appropriate harmonies, even if the key changes during the song
Solo singers can create vocal harmonies by manually selecting the key of the song using the dedicated button
Hybrid mode creates harmonies based on both guitar chords and manual tone control, ideal when the guitar is transitioning from backing to solo
24 types of harmonization to choose from: 12 one or two voices, plus variations for even richer vocal textures
Very easy to use, even for singers who have never used effects
Easy to adjust reverb and delay with just one button
The Enhance function controls dynamics and applies subtle pitch variations in real time
Three memory locations for your favorite settings
Runs on four AA batteries or a PSA series AC adapter (optional)
XLR mic input with phantom power (even when running on batteries)
USB audio function to record your vocal harmonizations on a computer
Surround your vocals with subtle harmonies - Plug in your guitar and sing!
By connecting your guitar to the VE-2, the Auto Harmony feature detects the chords you are playing and the key you are in and automatically generates the correct vocal harmonies. If you are not a guitarist, the one in your group can connect to your pedal, but you can also specify the key of the song manually using the dedicated button. The Hybrid mode allows you to synthesize the two previous modes: when the guitar can no longer serve as a reference for the tone, the manual setting takes priority. Thanks to these three intuitive methods, you will be able to generate perfect and natural harmonies without spending hours reading a user manual or learning music theory.
Different types of harmonization to suit all styles
Thanks to the 12 types of harmonization offered by the VE-2, you are sure to find the one that suits your music. You will be able to easily choose, with the help of a dedicated button, a harmonization with one or two voices with several possible intervals above and / or below your vocal line. Each of the available types offers variations to add voices and enrich the harmony. This makes it easy to create, with the VE-2, a simple additional vocal color or an impressive complete vocal ensemble.
Perfectly simple controls
The VE-2 is incredibly intuitive for all users, including singers who have never used effects before. Simple buttons allow you to obtain the desired sound instantly, and the LED display allows you to know at a glance the tone in which you are. The integrated multifunction footswitch allows you to switch the harmonization on or off, or simply bypass the pedal. You can even connect two additional footswitches to it for more control. Your three favorite harmony settings can finally be saved in the pedal and recalled with the touch of a button.
Everything you need for flawless vocals in a compact pedal
No need to add the services of a sound engineer to make your vocal parts sound: everything is in the VE-2. The Echo section gives you access to quality Reverbs and Delays, separate or coordinated, easily adjustable with a single button. Pressing the Enhance button once gives you a studio vocal feel, while a second press adds subtle pitch variations for a concert feel. The XLR input accepts all types of professional mics, including studio condenser models, requiring phantom power. This is provided by the VE-2 even when running on batteries, allowing you to use the best microphones wherever you sing.
Connect to your PC to register
In principle, recording a lead voice and the associated chorus parts at the same time requires delicate equipment and connections. But not with the VE-2! Simply connect it to your computer via USB and use your usual music software to record your voice, its vocal harmonies and its effects. Useful for studio recording and songwriting, this feature also makes it easy for singers to post videos with elaborate vocals online. And thanks to the VE-2's Loopback function, you can choose an audio file stored in your computer, playback or karaoke track, and add your vocal part to it.
