Boss VE-22 Vocal Performer Effects Processor

The Boss VE-22 Vocal Performer is a compact but hugely powerful multi-effects processor built for singers who want total control over their live and studio sound. Whether you’re gigging around Ireland, recording at home, streaming online, or building layered vocal arrangements, the VE-22 delivers professional-grade processing in a portable, performance-ready format.

At its core, the VE-22 is a comprehensive vocal toolkit packed with BOSS’s renowned Vocal Performer technology. You get essential studio-quality processing like compressor, EQ, de-esser and reverb, alongside creative tools including delay, modulation, distortion, lo-fi textures, and auto pitch effects. From subtle vocal polish to dramatic, voice-altering transformations, it’s all here — and it sounds superb.

The harmony and doubling engine is where things get truly exciting. With just one voice, you can create rich ensemble-style backing harmonies. Simply choose a harmony mode, set your song key, and the VE-22 generates musically intelligent harmonies that track your performance in real time. You can adjust harmony voicing and levels directly from the front panel and engage effects instantly using the onboard switch — perfect for live performance dynamics.

Navigation is intuitive and designed for real-world use. Multi-function knobs for Harmony, Effect and Echo allow quick adjustments or deeper parameter editing when needed. The bright display and illuminated control rings make it easy to see what’s happening even on dimly lit stages. Three customisable switches can be operated by foot or hand, and you can expand control further with an expression pedal or external footswitches.

The built-in looper adds another creative layer, letting you build vocal textures and arrangements on the fly — brilliant for solo performers and live experimentation.

With 50 professional preset patches and 99 user memory slots, you can store and recall your favourite configurations instantly. Whether you need subtle acoustic polish, layered harmonies for a chorus, or something wild and experimental, you’re always performance-ready.

Connectivity is equally impressive. The VE-22 features an XLR mic input with integrated preamp and phantom power, making it suitable for both dynamic and condenser microphones. A high/low gain switch, rear-panel sensitivity control and level meter ensure clean signal optimisation. Outputs allow connection to PA systems, stage amps or recording devices.

For modern creators, USB-C connectivity makes it easy to record directly into music production software or stream high-quality vocals to social platforms. There’s also an analogue aux input for backing tracks and a headphone jack for practice and monitoring.

Power it with four AA batteries for portability or use an optional AC adaptor when you’re set up in one place. Compact, robust and stage-ready, the VE-22 is built to travel.

At Musicmaker, we see this as an exceptional solution for singer-songwriters, worship leaders, solo performers and content creators across Ireland who want studio-level vocal control without hauling a rack of gear. It’s powerful, intuitive and incredibly inspirational.
