Using the BOSS VE - 22 Vocal Performer Pedal is easy. First, connect your microphone to the XLR input. If your mic needs phantom power, switch it on. You can control the mic sensitivity to get the right sound. Next, decide how you want to use the outputs. You can set them for stereo, dual mono, or a wet/dry mix. For singing along with your favorite tracks, plug them into the aux input. If you're using a computer or mobile device for recording or playback, connect via the USB - C port.
When it comes to effects, there are tons to choose from. You can enhance your sound with basic effects like compressor, EQ, delay, and reverb. Or, get really creative with special effects like lo - fi and distortion. The automatic pitch correction helps you sound in tune, whether you want a gentle adjustment or a bold electronic sound. The harmony and doubling functions let you create ensemble - like vocal sounds.
The pedal has an intuitive interface. Use the high - visibility color LCD and multi - function knobs to quickly access and adjust parameters. There are 50 pre - set professional presets, but you can also save your own setups in the 99 memory slots.
For practice, the onboard looper is great. You can record a phrase and play it back while you practice your vocals. And the three customizable switches are big enough to operate with your foot or hand.
Some important things to note. If you're using batteries, keep in mind that the current draw is 260 mA with phantom power and 180 mA without. The battery life is about 9 hours without phantom power. You can also use an optional AC adaptor. When not in use, store the pedal in a dry and cool place. And always follow the safety instructions in the included leaflet.
