[@MarqueeMarkVI]

This is the way a tutorial should be done. No baggage or life story added.

Thank you so much for this video.. Waiting for the next part.. I really want to learn about creating harmonies on VE-20

Well, I guess I've been using it "not quite" the way it is intended! TY for clarification.

[@Leejay.Poichuk]

is it possible to have reverb active and with one stomp ad radio effect?

[@nitishpurohit4131]

Hey bro. This is really helpful. Could you also please tell me if this device works for Acoustic instruments like Sarod and Sitar or may be a Guitar ??

[@IbandUK]

@nitishpurohit4131 The Ve20 is designed to work with vocal microphones, so how well it works will depend on how the acoustic instrument is mic'd. From my experiments, I would say the harmonic effect is much more subtle than it is on vocals and works best when only one note is played at a time rather than chords.

Is there any way this can harmonize only major chords, or keep the intervals identical from note to note. I don't want it to follow the key I set it to. I want to be able to sing D and have it sing a D major chord, then when I move to a Bb I want it to sing Bb major, and 2 of those notes don't fit into the key of D. Is there a way you can set part 1 to be a major third always, and part 2 to be always a perfect fifth? I can't be restricted to diatonic backup vocals. How can I get this thing to harmonize D, D/C, Bb, A all major chords as I sing the roots?

[@IbandUK]

@yack1415 If all the chords are not in the same key, you would need to be able to set harmony to chromatic but the boss Ve20 does not have that option for harmonies (only for pitch correction). The only workaround I can see would be to setup different presets in different keys and set the Ve20 foot switches to preset mode and use the foot switches to switch between presets as required, which would probably be too complicated.

[@tolerbearALTII]

Does it have a noise reduction feature?

[@IbandUK]

@tolerbearALTII In the Master settings it has a noise threshold setting that acts like a noise gate and in the Setup settings you can turn on Lowcut, that acts like a high pass filter to remove low frequency hum. A good dynamic mic, like the Shure SM58 is also pretty good at not picking up ambient room noise.

[@Joseph124269]

Can I switch between two different effects while using one microphone for saxophone and singing and then turn off the effects while talking into the mic?

[@IbandUK]

@Joseph124269 In normal mode, the left foot switch switches by pass mode on/off (fx on/off) and the right foot switch turns a chosen fx on/off. In program select mode the left and right foot switches move back (left) and forward (right) through the programs. So, if you use program mode, you could set up three programs, one with no fx and the another two with different fx setups. If these three programs are consecutive (say programs 60, 61 and 62), you could then use the foot switches to move between the three programs with just one or two taps of the foot.

@@IbandUK sounds great 👍. Thank you 😊.

[@luizgomesrn]

Very good video! A question: can I turn on this pedal on my keyboard? It's just that my keyboard has a microphone input, and its speakers are very good, so I don't need a mixer or an active box. But my keyboard doesn't have a harmonizer. So I wanted to turn on the microphone on the Boss pedal, and the pedal on the keyboard. Is it possible? Will the effects come out on the speakers of the keyboard? Note: my keyboard is a Yamaha SX700

[@IbandUK]

@luizgomesrn Thanks 😀👍 To use the Ve20 with your keyboard you would need to plug your mic into the Ve20, then plug the output from the Ve20 into your keyboards mic input (so the Ve20 output is sent to your keyboards speakers). There is no way to control the Ve20 remotely so you would need to use the Ve20 foot switches to change patch/fx.

Hey can u make a tutorial on how to remove breath/air noises which are caught in the recording in bandlab? Lots of love

[@IbandUK]

@ir.1s_sshi OK 😀👍

[@jakoboutzen9543]

Im playing the saxophone and would like to use the VD20 to be able to use the foot pedal to swtich between basic reverb setting for when Im doing riffs in the band and a setting with extra reverb and higher volume for when im doing solo - need the foot pedal as my hands are busy working the saxophone. Need to be able to swith back and forth. Is that possible? :-)

[@IbandUK]

@jakoboutzen9543 Hi, to do this you would need to set up two sound patches, each one with a different reverb level, then hold down the harmony food switch for 3 seconds to switch the pedals to sound patch mode. Now you can use the 2 foot switches to change between the two sound patches, so effectively change the reverb level.

part 2 ???

[@ninjabluewings]

I am wondering is it possible to set your own adjustments on a preset say for instance setting 7 which is delay, can you adjust it then save it to be stored?

[@IbandUK]

@ninjabluewings Yes, you can adjust any settings you like, then save all the changes as a preset. You can save up to 50 presets.

[@ninjabluewings]

@@IbandUK Thank you kindly 🙂

Hello, if both my guitar and microphone are connected to the Boss and 20, can I turn off the loop function on my microphone and apply the loop function only to my guitar?

[@IbandUK]

The Ve20 only has one input, so mic and guitar would need to connect to the same input with no way to isolate either within the Ve20. So both would be recorded into a loop. You could record a guitar loop while not singing into the mic and that would obvious only record the guitar. Then sing along to the guitar loop.

@@IbandUK thank you☺️
