This pedal is absolutely perfect for any gig you can imagine. I have used it for weddings, grand openings, and even bigger stage shows. It’s so simple a toddler could play a two hour show it’s it and sound like a mixture of fergie and Jesus. In all seriousness don’t second guess this purchase, you’ll be satisfied!

Product Review
I purchased the Boss VE-8 processor to use as an additional unit to allow the artist who sometimes accompany me an opportunity to employ effects as I have used an “acoustic voice live” for several years myself. Upon testing the unit I found that the effects and looper on the Boss unit were much easier to navigate then my old unit so I now use it as my primary processor and use the old unit for people sitting in with me.
Love this units ease of use, everything is switched or dial control on the face of the unit. No scrolling through endless menus.
I recommend getting the foot switch, as I don’t like to bend down to switch effects and it keeps the control box off the floor

Bought this right before Covid and got to use it at a couple of solo gigs before everything got shut down. The harmonies take some tuning but when you get it right it sounds great. I started using it on my electric rig at church to free up some effects spots on my pedalboards, and it sounds awesome in the that role as well. Great buy and I recommend it to my friends.

A Singer/Guitarists best friend!

Product Review
Ok, I’m a Singer who plays guitar. That said I was looking for a user friendly device that would enhance my vocals, yet give me one touch access to add chorus on guitar and some simple looping. I was using a TC VL3, and as awesome as that is, it was way too much tech for my simple needs. The Boss VE8 is the best pedal I’ve used to date. Simple, and affordable. I’ve created a small pedal board to include a TC Helicon E1 for vocal delay. Coupled with the TC MP75 mic it’s a singers dream. Add a volume pedal for live fades, and a battery to operate it all, I have a lightweight portable board free from needing ac power. I use a Bose S1 to finish the setup. I think I’m getting the best sound I’ve ever had. If you’re a singer/guitarist that’s more concerned with playing and singing rather then setting up a pedal, I highly recommend this device. Boss hit a home run with this and for 300 bucks it’s worth every penny.

This unit sounds a lot better than I expected. Only had it for about a week, so far I love it! For now I'm just using the presets {usually the presets are unusable but not on the VE-8}. Really easy to use and the looper works great. An 80 second loop is more than adequate. Contrary to some previous reviews, you CAN isolate the guitar from the vocals for a PA feed, a really important feature to me. Also a very solid unit, all the controls have a quality feel to them.
This was my first purchase from AMS and it was a very pleasant experience. Fast shipping, I received it in 2 days. Good price. Will definitely be back.
Highly recommend!

Doing my solo gigs sounds a little fuller to have some harmonies and being able to loop a pattern to perform a solo on guitar. I suggest reading the instruction booklet to set it up to your standards and liking. Received it in the mail within a few days. Actually it arrived sooner than expected.

Really improved my vocals
By: RickD
Submitted: 4/9/2020
Product Review
I usually tell people that my vocals are somewhere between Bob Dylan and a goat. But with the Boss VE-8, I can actually hear the improvement in my singing. Setting up the basic functions was simple (I haven't had it long enough to use the more advanced menu selections) and even through my little Roland Mobile Cube I love the sound. The harmony effect sounds very natural. It makes the chorus part of my songs sound like I have a band singing with me and not just me solo. I can't wait to play around with more of the advanced features!

Product Review
I was impressed when I first set this unit up, one month later I am more impressed. It has really improved my vocals and made my guitar sound full in solo work scenarios. It is very easy to figure out and tweek and is making my set up and down time to minimal. I use a J 45 and Songwriter, so I have good sounding guitars to start with, but the guitar effects really allow the sound to be complemented. I use numerous mic's and the vocal effects and looper really make a full sound consistent. Extremely easy to use and learn. You will enjoy using this product every time you plug in.
