    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.

      Or you could just tap the left pedal to turn off the fx entirely.

    I have had the VE 20 and the Digitech Vocalist Live for many years. Here is my quick comparison/review; I use the VE as a studio vocal effect. I put it in dry/mono mode (the Digitech doesn´t have this option) and the main use is recording harmonies on a separate track while recording the moain vocal performance. You can do harmonies with plugins in the DAW but I like the Boss harmonies a little better usually. I use the Digitech pedal for live playing because it has a key adapt system that listens to either the ambient sound or the guitar input to know what key for the harmonies. You can also set the key manually on the Digtech Vocalist which is the only option on the Boss pedal (no live adapt). The Digitech pedal has fallen apart a bit, the plastic cover over the screen comes off and the LED screen inside is loose now and moves around but I have been stomping on it for years and it has taken a lot more abuse than the Boss pedal. However, the contruction of the Digitech pedal is NOT as robust as the build of the Boss pedal in general. Both sound pretty similar IMHO when it comes to the quality of the effects. The Digitech has something called the Gold Channel which is for universal settings like low cut, EQ, etc. that gives you a general sound no matter which preset you are on and which can be deactivated manuallly for special cases. The Boss does not have anything like this. The Boss VE has a combo xlr-1/4" input jack while the Digitech only has xlr input. It´s nice to have both just in case you don´t have the right cable. Both pedals have loopers which can be used like a guitar looper or as a sound check tool. The Digitech has an anti-feedback option which works OK but has its limits. I have compared the sound of vocals straight into the PA, through the pedal to the PA and through the pedal and a digital mixer to the PA and it seems that straight into the PA, no pedal no digital mixer, always sounds the best playing live. It could just be the effects or the digital to analogue conversion (twice when going through the digital mixer) that causes this loss of clarity in the sound. I am NOT a purist when it comes to tone so if I am noticing this then for you who are very picky about sound quality you might really be bothered by this coloring of the tone. With the Boss you have the dry signal and you can mix the effects output in parallel to taste which sounds better to me than changing the effects levels on the Digitech which is the only way to mix the dry vocal and the effects. If I remember correctly, both units cost me around 300€ new. They both have their strong and weak points but if I could have only one I would probably go with the Boss VE 20 because of the dry/effects output option and because of the quality of construction. So these are some of the things that you might want to take into consideration when deciding on a vocal pedal.

      I think I almost mistakenly said something so edited itnouy. Basically if u have it set for Harmony On/Off via foot pedal control but want a different preset you have to turn the knob to change preset. You can of course disengage the harmony foot control so u can instead use the pedal to switch presets with your foot.
      Its one or the other which via foot pedal. Which is kind irritting if it is ment as a floor unit verus hand controlled.

    Great vids! I'm trying to diagnose why the distortion effect is significantly lower in volume versus the primary setup. When I have the headphones on, the volume level matches when I "kick" the distortion on, but when connected live, it is barely discernible. I set the harmony pedal to control the on/off for the distortion. I'm running a mono signal via XLR to our mix which is connected to powered speakers. I'm curious if you've experienced something similar and know how to solve the issue. I've played with the "parts" levels and panned the effect to the L, but that hasn't fixed the issue. I've searched forums, etc. and haven't found a good solve. Any insight is appreciated.
    Otherwise, the pedal has been a great addition.

    • @newcastlemusicstudios
      @newcastlemusicstudios  2 года назад

      I would guess its the effect is weakened quite a bit when you use the Mono xlr ouput. If you hear it normal in stereo headphones. Strange when you tried both sides yiu didnt get the desired effext.
      Maybe in settings there is a differentiatuin for stereo versus mono effects. I know there are levels. Also consider if you using a dynamic mic the effects always seem much weaker versus a condenser.
      Ill have a look at it tonight see if it the same on my unit.

      Right pedal engages harmony. So step on right pedal and off to add a harmony for main melody.
      Left pedal from get go does a BYPASS.
      I THINK STEPPING ON BOTH PEDALS AROUND 5 seconds engages abikity to step through presets.
      You can also step on or off/ or push the phrase loop button with your foot if possible to go directly back to making the right pedal TURN ON HARMONY etc.

YES you can Adjust =Level within the Harmony setup... it goes 0-100 0 being you can barely hear the Harmony and 100 is fully audible Harmony... within that Harmony Setting you can also adjust the type/gender/key etc. Hope that answers your questions Level 50 is pretty smooth and not so robotic or synthetic sounding.

      Dynamics means compression, so yes, there is. It would have been nice if the reviewer had read up on that and the pitch correction (which has soft, hard and two other settings not shown here). As they were the two things I was most interested in, I found that section of the review, which was a bit like suffering your average big store computer salesman who knows sod all about computers, quite annoying.

      No not necessarily. I mean some people are good at naturally bending their vocals chords to sing one note to the next. I also not very good at the whole singing thing. The great thing about singing and playing guitar at the same time, is you should be able to hear and match the pitch of the guitar chord as you sing along versus just singing solo with no instrument. So you are on the right track.

      The Voicebox unit has two inputs and outputs one for the mic and the other for your instrument. Control is analogue and has a vocoder feature which senses the key that you are playing and automatically generates the appropriate harmony.
      I've owned both VE20 and Voicebox and in terms of user friendly interfaces there's no comparison. The VE20 does have pitch correct which purists argue is claiming credit on stage for someone else's work ie the developer. But that's another rabbit hole.

I can sing some stuff more gutterly as you put it, however I lose the ability to enunciate and overall hit the proper notes when i do sing in the proper fashion.
      Some Songs in Dmajor/Gmajor/Cmajor I can sing pretty normal and dont sound so horrible....
      Unfortunetly I have always been drawn to writing and singing songs in the A minor or other minor keys and when I try n sing those my fairly high octave range drops pretty low as I have issues bending from one note to the next note. Everyday I practice is a small learning experience I just try to share these FX Pedal Box TOOLS, like the Boss VE20/TC Helicon with other who perhaps whom of which have a much better singing voice but just want to spice it up and add some FX.

      If u listen to the radio, i think less than 10% of what you hear has not been significantly digitally processed with similar tools.
      When big performers go out live with an audio tech running a mixer board with FX including auto tune like tech.. they often still manage to sound horrendous. I made this video a long time ago, i didnt think anyone would watch it.
      Overall a vocal coach could help.

    Each part can be given it's own separate parameters, to fine tune it to exactly the way you want it to sound.
