Description

The VE-8 combines a vocal channel and a dedicated guitar channel in one small unit. The vocal side offers four ambience types plus Enhance, chromatic pitch correction, and a harmony/FX section with high, low, double, radio, distortion and hard-tuned electric voices. Harmonies can follow the chords and key detected from the guitar, or use hybrid and fixed modes.

The guitar channel has Acoustic Resonance to soften the piezo pickup character, reverb, chorus, a tuner and effects such as tremolo, phaser, delay, octave and ring mod. A phase switch and notch filter help control feedback. Both channels have a three-band EQ and low-cut filter. A looper records up to 80 seconds and can loop guitar, voice or both, and 50 memories store favorite settings.

Connections include an XLR mic input with switchable phantom power, a guitar input, an Aux input for backing music, stereo XLR outputs for a PA, stereo 1/4-inch outputs for monitors or an acoustic amp, a headphone jack and USB for use as a recording interface. It runs on six AA batteries or the included AC adapter.
