Overview

The Boss VE-5 Vocal Performer is a personal vocal effects processor built for singers, rappers, beatboxers, webcasters, and anyone who wants to add professional-quality effects to their voice. Its compact tabletop design sits conveniently in front of you during performances and can also be mounted directly on a mic stand for hands-free stage use. Despite its small footprint, the VE-5 inherits six high-quality vocal effect types from the Boss VE-20—Reverb, Delay, Double/Harmony, Dynamics, Pitch Correct, and Tone/SFX—giving you a versatile toolkit for shaping your vocal sound in real time.

One of the VE-5's standout features is its built-in Phrase Looper, which allows you to record, overdub, and play back vocal loops on the fly. This makes it a powerful tool for building layered harmonies, creating beatbox arrangements, or adding textured vocal backdrops to solo performances. The unit offers easy one-touch operation and footswitchable controls for seamless transitions between effects during a set. It runs on batteries for fully portable use or can be powered by an AC adaptor (sold separately), and includes an auxiliary input for playing backing tracks alongside your processed vocals.
