Big thank U 4 your explanation and hello from St. Petersburg, Russia! It really helps, as I just got a hold of this amazing processor and trying to set it up for myself. Good luck to everyone who's using it and many wishes of great singing and inspireing music to U all!😉
ok so I need to come clean - I lasted about 2 minutes the first time around watching this and now having spent the entire weekend trying to sort out pre-sets, I tried again and whooshka - everything i needed was right there - I'm sorry I doubted you - yodel away my friend - sing like nobody can hear you - now subscribed, cheers
Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to do this. The instructions that come with the pedal are so basic . This answered many of my questions about the pedal.
Hey it's Leanne Tennant here! Thanks for the shoutout, and for answering my question! I bought the Boss VE and found it a lot of fun to use at home, but got a little scared using it live. I'll have to give it another go sometime and will muck around with presets. I now release music under LT so you can find me as LT now!
Pretty good review. You kind of started to rush through it towards the end of the video. It might be common sense to some, but for those who are wondering, the key signature in the Master settings menu seems to be only relevant if you are using the Pitch Correct feature in the Maj/Min type instead of Chromatic. Useful if you want to make presets for individual songs in a given key without having to sift through the menus to change the key.
Thank you. Found the video informative. Early on it showed an Effect I was looking for. I set up the Boss VE 20 Pedal 2 days ago. The video was good for learning more about what I can do. A quick tip - I've recorded the same song with different effects which makes it easier to compare for how I want it to sound. Some sections sound much better when using a different effect in isolation.
That's a very good point. Some effects sound good when isolated on a single track. Meanwhile they are too small or large when worked into a final mix. Always good to compare and contrast!
@@newcastlemusicstudios Its really different strokes for different people. Recording and mastering tracks I believe it's personal taste and choice. I think some tracks are overmastered - I'm not a professional audio engineer. With The Bose VE 20 Pedal - it does have the capacity for Stereo Output. A music store questioned why I wanted Y Cabling for recording. Their perspective was it would sound terrible and that it would only record in Mono anyway no matter what configurations I used. That's an opinion. I like to experiment with sounds, special effects, layering and develop pieces. With the person I collaborate with - sometimes we reverse engineer recordings and other times we change compressors and equalizers. We both have Ëquipment Acquiremént Syndrome''. At the moment we are more Spoken Word and putting Evocative Tracks behind them with fairly good results. And because they are Spoken Word pieces it made more to me to buy the Boss VE 20 with its inbuilt effect because it will help our music and with Solo performances say Busking its great tool to have in my armory as a point of difference for what other people are doing. FOMO lol !
I love specialist stores, esp when the words experimental, ohms law, expeedence and sentences like " ... just buy this-i get commission, I really don't care I'm the bosses son " are unspoken but.
Hi, thanks for this great video. You show how to setup reverb and delay. A question : is it possible to leave reverb ON and delay ON at the same time, to have both effects ?
Great 👍, thanks very much for the video, very helpful and I am just about to open my VE 20 that l was able to purchase after watching your two videos, very informative, thanks again. Keep up the great work.
Great video followed it step by step Still trying to do a preset Key of c pitch correct on With the harmony pedal switching to 6 voices very help full .
I have the same, but i dont like its presets that much. Can I add new sounds from the outside into this boss VE? like I'd like to add a flute sound or guitar effect . Can I do that? Thanks
I have for Saxophone microphones Shure BLX14E/P98H-T11 Wireless Instrument System with PGA98H and also I have Microphone Shure SM57 How I can use Menu setting with my these Microphones ? I can have do it same setting like you saying on video and I can same follow you with Menu setting ?
The only options are 48V for Condenser Microphone or no 48V Dynamic Mics like the Shure SM57. You can change the mic sense up or down which just makes the microphone Louder or quieter. Otherwise everything is the same regardless of what microphone you have.... as far as using the Menu to change, dynamics, reverb, delay, pitch octave etc.
My friend you did an excellent job thank you and don't worry about the haters with your voice it's fine very helpful very well done everything thank you so much Danny B Funman
Thanks for this video very helpful. I had a question regarding the output . Is there a way for me to have the harmony and main vocals go separately into the DAW as two separate tracks that I mix separately . If so how do I set this up ?
No, even on a larger 6i6 interface where u can split incoming tracks from inputs, you cannot split the signal from the actual box. My best suggest is record it 2 times. Tracck 1 Record the Main Vocal. CREATE a 2nd track and record the harmony... It will actually sound better anyway. If you like harmonies and chorus FX you will eventually see recording multiple tracks maybe 4-6 tracks to create a real harmony or chorus then add a harmony fx track to create a huge shiny layer.
Thanks a bit of a basic question but how does one only record the harmony . Do I need to pan it to ensure only harmony goes thru the 2nd track in the DAW ?@@newcastlemusicstudios On a separate note I am guessing then in a live setting its just one volume control on the mix for both main vocals and harmony ?
Could you please help to explain how does one record only the harmony . I currently used the mono set set up and the left wet always sends both harmony and lead to the track. Sorry maybe this is a basic question but would really appreciate inputs . Thanks
Basic takeaway Push MENU Button Turn knobs CLOCKWISE 1 turn per effect Setup Dynamics Pitch Tone Harmony Delay Reverb master When u see the effect u want to change, push arrow on right side Turn knob to change effect when done... Click left arrow back Scroll by Turn knob all the way down till u see "WRITE" TURN KNOB TO choose an EMPTY preset . Best of luck
awesome video, but i have a question, performing live with the pedal, if the console guy says that he hasnt enought signal of my mic. which thing should I turn on? master level, gain or mic sense?
@@diegoarenaza5370 you can dial the master up 1st. The mic sense can get distorted easily. If you have a guy on a mixer or console. Tell him to check his mixer Gain on the channel of the mic. It is loud enough with a dynamic microphone. Unless ypur dynamic mic is really cheap. Most people use a shure sm58 or a budget friendly Behringer dynamic ba85A
I just got one of these - I also have a Boss Dr Rhythm Mk2 drum computer which, although much older, programmes in a similar way. I really needed this instruction because the stuff that comes with the pedal is not very comprehensive. Pre programming your pre-sets is fundamental. Thank you for this tutorial it is a great help.
Is it possible to have two different effects on one preset? For example, can the left pedal activate a radio effect, while the right pedal deactivates the radio effect and applies delay and reverb instead?
You can only go up n Down on presets with the pedal or turn on Harmony or turn it off, it'd make more sense to make 2 similar presets with 1 effect difference to go back n forth from.
i explain that in the other video. Instead of turning the knob. You just hold down on the pedal, till the harmony is off, then u can step on the pedal to click through presets, but to use harmony or reengage it, you'll have to hold it down again.
I've been toying whether to buy this or now for a long time now. Thank you for your reviews - Actually wouldn't mind a one to one tutorial if this is something you offer outside of youtube happy to pay.
Sure yah sometime whenever. I honestly think the TC Helicon Voicelive Play sounds better. The effects are more pronounced the stomp function is easier to use.
@@newcastlemusicstudios Thanks for this tip - I will look into this one now - Once I've chosen I'll hit you up as I'll love a lesson with you to work it out since I am useless lol
1 Hard rock, 3 ballad, 7 echo 22 3rd+th high I prefer to modify them n make my own. I like reverb, echo n delay for voice. Chorus to make it sound bigger n thicker I use 22. Or some harmony effects.
Thanks for the info on this! Answered one of my questions but I do have another. Can I have the harmony pedal just set to the radio effect? And just click it on and off
I get what you are saying. Perhaps... Not 100% sure. Obviously you can click the effects on n off but just clicking off n on the radio effect... Ill have to go n check that out n get back to you
Great informative well done. One point once you have made a new name for all the presetrs how do you copy it to another name so you can do minor changes. The write function does not work as it copies the presents to a new location but deletes the old one
That sounds to me like a Massive Reverb. You basically just need to turn the reverb size sound all the way up, like Arena/ Cathedral style reverb. On my other Device the TC Helicon there is an actual preset similar called. "Gregorian Chant" You could also use 2 reverb pedals... if it isnt spacey enough.
Hello, there is some effects i would like to use like the distortion or the radio effect, but i have an issue i think the effect is way to strong when im singing, i want the same kind of effect but not so harsh, is there anyway i can just reduce the ammount of the effect givin to my voice ? For like musics i sing for example, Muse or something that i want to active the radio effect and the stop using it, i find it way to strong, i want the effect but not so harsh or so present.
Does anyone know what amp you need to fit the boss ve20 pedal. You know so that when you play an instrument the actual sound can come out as these don’t have built in speakers do they. Thanks
I'm thinking of buying one and have 3 questions. Can you adjust the amount of correction, not just pick between hard and soft? Does it have a bypass? Would I be able to affects off to talk to the crowd, and back on to sing? Do you need to pick a key for the preset, or will it just correct to the closest note? Thank you for your time.
Its strange n a way with 2 possible functions via pedal or knob. You can ue the pedal to turn on or off the preset, or the harmony. You can also just use the pedal to engage a hrmony efftect.. say when u sing. Chorus etc. But you must choose it one way or the other temproarily while in use. The best move is to use the pedal for all. Have 2 cloned presets next to each other .. but 1 has harmony or pitch correction and the other does not. Or 3 or 4. Hard to use the knob if it is on the floor, so thats why the stepping foot method is better. I think the bypass is stepping on both pedals at the same time, then 1 step to go back on to the preset. The pitch correct has keys major and minor, it also has a chromatic funtion which i think jist moves u to the closest note you are singing. The type is soft, hard, electric, robot. I am not sure if u can adjust those. Because i think the idea is "soft" is unoticeable and hard u caN only hear if u screw up.. robot and electrix are quite obvious. It also has Octave and gender underneath the adjustment on potch correction.
I sing and play guitar in a surf-punk, garage-rock band and I'd like to get that Julian Casablancas "telephone effect". I do like the "hip-hop" and "harmonica" presets since they have that lo-fi, rough, vintage vibe. Question is, what do you think would work best: one of these two presets (with some adjustments i.e. adding some reverb) or to create my own preset and then engage "low-cut", increase "enhancing", add some reverb so as to get that sound? Thank you ☺️
I would do both. See how it sounds in the Live Mix versus recording on DAW. For example, you may not need as mich reverb or delay etc. In a LIVE mix do to room acoustics. Also consider your Practice jam room may have more cho or reverb than an open stage in a bar. So FX can often be turned down so you dont get too much feedback.
@@newcastlemusicstudios thank you for answering. When I play live I always tell the PA guy to turn the EFX knob all the way down as I prefer to control reverb myself (I use reverb only). Same when we rehearse: no EFX from the mixer. As for the mic, I have a Sennheiser e845s. What about the Boss ve20 overall Master level VS. the preset level (considering the PA mic channel level and the PA Master level)? Thank you for your time ☺️
Subscribed. But what I hoped to learn is how toi set up the Master volume level and the main effect (left pedal) and say Doubled vocals volume levels so that they are roughly consistent. Where should I start the Mic Sensitivity off at for a good dynamic? For example.
I would say 50 and slowly go up. 5p is usually ideal for a condenser microphone but for a dynamic microphone closer to 75.... Depending on the mic model.
I'm looking for a voice pedal, one of the thing I would like to have is a preset for the high pitch note in Deep purple's highway star, which seems to be like 5 layers of a loop voice from low to high and then they all sound at the same time, would it be possible to program something like that in this pedal?
Under the vocal Harmony Settings you can combine different octaves of harmonies for a similar effect. Not saying it is necessarily exact. The TC Helicon voicelive play is more diverse in its abilities to program Layered Vocal Harmonies+chorus and other effects.... The Boss Ve20 is somewhat basic in that regard.
If i remember right you push the middle button down so you can use the pedal to go up and down for presets. If you onky want chorus /on/off is the pedal without turning the knob.
@@newcastlemusicstudios No, I mean the chorus of the song, not the chorus effect. Let’s suppose I only want my preset on during a single part of the song…
Yah... You just switch from using the knob to the pedal. I explained it n the other video on my channel under : Boss Ve20 Review... I think u just push in the knob and it switches to Pedal Preset Mode. But at the moment i forget the Specifics.
NICE! Very helpful. Thank you. If I create say 10 different presets can I move them around from number to number? That is change the order of the presets I've created. So I might have 71: Reverb only. 72: Reverb w Echo: 73: Echo Slapback. 74: Harmony with 3rd above ... etc. etc. I would do this because our setlists and song order can change fairly often. Kindly advise and thanks so much.
I understand. However, I don't think so. The bank is large enough that you could possibly make 3 Lists of Presets in different order.. obviously that is a pain in the *ss! Regardless I'll take a look and tinker with it to see if that is a possibility. And get back to you if there is a way to shift the Order.
@@stephenlennartz3466 its called EXCHANGE... MEANING EXCHANGE one Preset with another. Click MENU USE KNOB SCROLL DOWN TO :MENU WRITE THen click the Arrow Button on the Right Side. Then use the knob to adjust preset placing i.e. 67 to 60. Now this is the tricky part HOLD BOTH PEDALS DOWN Simultaneously then it should say : Completed... Be aware this clones that preset and moves it. It will not actually switch places.. Thusly 67 Preset is copied to 60 Preset... You can then repeat the proccess and move something into the place of 67. To be the most effective.. Since there are 80 Preset Slots.. Start at say 40-50 then copy those presets in your prefered Order for Setlist to say 51-61 etc. Best of luck.. If u cant get it i could throw up a video.
@@totigerus you will get more volume in general. If you want more Reverb on a PRESET, you will want to go to the Reverb setting and turn the knob to size +10. Then go over one arrow punch to RevLevel which goes from 0-100. 100 being the most reverb. If you use the circle knob you can also increase overall Volume on each preset by turning up the MASTER.
Thank you for a fine and friendly video. It saved me some time checking out the same sort of things. I am disappointed that the device does not seem offer a "3rd low" setting for harmony nor a way of achieving it by setting or editing. Do you know if I'm wrong? You have an interesting singing voice by the way.
Hello my friend, ve-20 has this possibility ... I will see if I can explain to you how to do this, ok ..... when you are in the DOUBLE / HARMONY function ... and choose which voice to put .. in the case of the Tuesday below ... just turn the button counterclockwise and go to -6th which would be the 3rd low ..... the 5th low is the -4th ...... all this because VE-20 starts counting from UNISON and upwards would be normal counting ... and downwards there is this inversion ... It is difficult to explain here but just remember that ..... -4th = 5th low ..... -6th = 3rd low .... I hope I helped and I'm sorry for the translation ... I did it through the google translator. I'm from Brazil and here we speak Portuguese.
@@JFGPass Hello Joseph and thank you very much for your reply. I see the answer now and it is working very well! I understand the theory as you mentioned, and understanding how to work the modes makes this pedal very useful. The only improvement I can think of is to have a hard drive backup utility as in my Boss DR-880 rhythm unit.
@@gavincahill-1142 I am happy to have helped in some way .... What I would like this pedal to be would be to turn on the guitar so that he can read the tone of the songs just like the boss ve-2 does ... other than that for me he is perfect! .. it is very complete!
No, not an actual de_esser in the MENU. You can adjust the Tone in SFX and increase an EQ level or decrease your treble which will cut back on the sssssss sound.
No you don't need a mixer . If you are having issues. You can send me a picture of your setup and Cable connections outlawguitarplayer@gmail.com And I'll take a look and see if I notice anything. Which microphone are you using ?
Click MENU, THEN push the right arrow button 2 times to see if 48V power is on. If it is off turn the knob clockwise 1 time. If that does solve the problem... It could be a bad cable. Did you buy it NEW OR USED? make sure your cube amp has the volume up loud enough. U can test the microphone by just plugging it into the XLR on the amp and engaging the MIC button then whisper into it to see if it picks up yr voice etc.

4:40 Hey man! Thanks for the tutorial. Just a note: "Dynamics" are not going to alter the pitch of your voice. "Pitch correction" does it.
Thanks for the tip!
Ok, but how to switch between presets during a show without bending down? I'm assuming the pedal on the right toggles through?
i explain that in the other video. Instead of turning the knob. You just hold down on the pedal, till the harmony is off, then u can step on the pedal to click through presets, but to use harmony or reengage it, you'll have to hold it down again.
How do you do Reverse delay/reverb??

I prefer to modify them n make my own. I like reverb, echo n delay for voice.
Chorus to make it sound bigger n thicker I use 22. Or some harmony effects.
Thanks for the info on this! Answered one of my questions but I do have another. Can I have the harmony pedal just set to the radio effect? And just click it on and off
I get what you are saying. Perhaps... Not 100% sure. Obviously you can click the effects on n off but just clicking off n on the radio effect... Ill have to go n check that out n get back to you
@@newcastlemusicstudios its okay I have one so I can trial it just thought u might know of the top of your head
Wow man... You helped me a lot.. thx 😎
Happy to help
Great informative well done. One point once you have made a new name for all the presetrs how do you copy it to another name so you can do minor changes. The write function does not work as it copies the presents to a new location but deletes the old one
I'll have to look and see if that is even possible. I understand the question. It would save a a lot of time to copy n adjust.
@@newcastlemusicstudios looking forward to this as well
how can you achieve chill sounds like [MrSuicideSheep] Azaleh - Rainy Nights.
That sounds to me like a Massive Reverb.
You basically just need to turn the reverb size sound all the way up, like Arena/ Cathedral style reverb.
On my other Device the TC Helicon there is an actual preset similar called. "Gregorian Chant"
You could also use 2 reverb pedals... if it isnt spacey enough.
Great job
Thanks
Hi, has 'tap delay' in this pedal?
I don't think so. But I'll go look.
no... just one basic delay, you can change delay time, that's it.
Hello, there is some effects i would like to use like the distortion or the radio effect, but i have an issue i think the effect is way to strong when im singing, i want the same kind of effect but not so harsh, is there anyway i can just reduce the ammount of the effect givin to my voice ? For like musics i sing for example, Muse or something that i want to active the radio effect and the stop using it, i find it way to strong, i want the effect but not so harsh or so present.
Yes, you can adjust the preset in the MENU
so it is not so harsh.
Does anyone know what amp you need to fit the boss ve20 pedal. You know so that when you play an instrument the actual sound can come out as these don’t have built in speakers do they. Thanks
You'll need an amp. This pedal works just fine with my Roland Street Cube.
Thank you this was helpful ❤
Sure!
Merci pour le tuto ! vraiment claire et utile À+
Merci!
I'm thinking of buying one and have 3 questions. Can you adjust the amount of correction, not just pick between hard and soft? Does it have a bypass? Would I be able to affects off to talk to the crowd, and back on to sing? Do you need to pick a key for the preset, or will it just correct to the closest note? Thank you for your time.
Its strange n a way with 2 possible functions via pedal or knob. You can ue the pedal to turn on or off the preset, or the harmony. You can also just use the pedal to engage a hrmony efftect.. say when u sing. Chorus etc.
But you must choose it one way or the other temproarily while in use.
The best move is to use the pedal for all.
Have 2 cloned presets next to each other .. but 1 has harmony or pitch correction and the other does not. Or 3 or 4. Hard to use the knob if it is on the floor, so thats why the stepping foot method is better.
I think the bypass is stepping on both pedals at the same time, then 1 step to go back on to the preset.
The pitch correct has keys major and minor, it also has a chromatic funtion which i think jist moves u to the closest note you are singing.
The type is soft, hard, electric, robot. I am not sure if u can adjust those. Because i think the idea is "soft" is unoticeable and hard u caN only hear if u screw up.. robot and electrix are quite obvious. It also has Octave and gender underneath the adjustment on potch correction.
@@newcastlemusicstudios Thank you.
what does Dynamic's DEPTH do?
Good question. It seems to affect the tone/peaks and valleys of your voice in a subtle way. It is not a big deal compared to other effects.
@@newcastlemusicstudios something like the level of compression?
Thanks very helpful
You are welcome!
I sing and play guitar in a surf-punk, garage-rock band and I'd like to get that Julian Casablancas "telephone effect". I do like the "hip-hop" and "harmonica" presets since they have that lo-fi, rough, vintage vibe. Question is, what do you think would work best: one of these two presets (with some adjustments i.e. adding some reverb) or to create my own preset and then engage "low-cut", increase "enhancing", add some reverb so as to get that sound? Thank you ☺️
I would do both.
See how it sounds in the Live Mix versus recording on DAW.
For example, you may not need as mich reverb or delay etc. In a LIVE mix do to room acoustics.
Also consider your Practice jam room may have more cho or reverb than an open stage in a bar. So FX can often be turned down so you dont get too much feedback.
@@newcastlemusicstudios thank you for answering. When I play live I always tell the PA guy to turn the EFX knob all the way down as I prefer to control reverb myself (I use reverb only). Same when we rehearse: no EFX from the mixer. As for the mic, I have a Sennheiser e845s. What about the Boss ve20 overall Master level VS. the preset level (considering the PA mic channel level and the PA Master level)? Thank you for your time ☺️
Subscribed. But what I hoped to learn is how toi set up the Master volume level and the main effect (left pedal) and say Doubled vocals volume levels so that they are roughly consistent. Where should I start the Mic Sensitivity off at for a good dynamic? For example.
I would say 50 and slowly go up. 5p is usually ideal for a condenser microphone but for a dynamic microphone closer to 75.... Depending on the mic model.
I'm looking for a voice pedal, one of the thing I would like to have is a preset for the high pitch note in Deep purple's highway star, which seems to be like 5 layers of a loop voice from low to high and then they all sound at the same time, would it be possible to program something like that in this pedal?
Under the vocal Harmony Settings you can combine different octaves of harmonies for a similar effect. Not saying it is necessarily exact. The TC Helicon voicelive play is more diverse in its abilities to program Layered Vocal Harmonies+chorus and other effects.... The Boss Ve20 is somewhat basic in that regard.
@@newcastlemusicstudios wow, thanks for the quick response! I'll take a look at it
two words- thank you.
Glad it helped
Thanks! Very helpful
Glad it helped!
Is it problem that you use tumb?
You mean your thumb??
You can use your foot or your thumb.
Depends where you have the pedal sitting.
Nice tutorial! How do you activate de preset? I mean, if I only want to use it during the chorus of the songs, how do I turn it on and off?
If i remember right you push the middle button down so you can use the pedal to go up and down for presets. If you onky want chorus /on/off is the pedal without turning the knob.
@@newcastlemusicstudios No, I mean the chorus of the song, not the chorus effect. Let’s suppose I only want my preset on during a single part of the song…
@@RenataServato you just need to push the right pedal dude
Bro can you have a pre-set and hit the pedal and go to a 2nd pre-ser with delay ????
Yah... You just switch from using the knob to the pedal. I explained it n the other video on my channel under : Boss Ve20 Review... I think u just push in the knob and it switches to Pedal Preset Mode. But at the moment i forget the Specifics.
@@newcastlemusicstudios you rock
@@newcastlemusicstudios I just got one so I usually use a reverb and then for dynamics I hit the delay
@@PaPaPeeMD so make 2 presets that are the same and add Delay to the Second one is what I would suggest to go back n forth.
@@newcastlemusicstudios thank bro....you rock
NICE! Very helpful. Thank you. If I create say 10 different presets can I move them around from number to number? That is change the order of the presets I've created. So I might have 71: Reverb only. 72: Reverb w Echo: 73: Echo Slapback. 74: Harmony with 3rd above ... etc. etc. I would do this because our setlists and song order can change fairly often. Kindly advise and thanks so much.
I understand. However, I don't think so. The bank is large enough that you could possibly make 3 Lists of Presets in different order.. obviously that is a pain in the *ss! Regardless I'll take a look and tinker with it to see if that is a possibility. And get back to you if there is a way to shift the Order.
@@newcastlemusicstudios Many thanks!
@@stephenlennartz3466 yes its possible to do
@@stephenlennartz3466 its called EXCHANGE... MEANING EXCHANGE one Preset with another.
Click MENU
USE KNOB SCROLL DOWN TO :MENU WRITE
THen click the Arrow Button on the Right Side. Then use the knob to adjust preset placing i.e. 67 to 60. Now this is the tricky part HOLD BOTH PEDALS DOWN Simultaneously then it should say : Completed... Be aware this clones that preset and moves it. It will not actually switch places.. Thusly 67 Preset is copied to 60 Preset... You can then repeat the proccess and move something into the place of 67. To be the most effective.. Since there are 80 Preset Slots.. Start at say 40-50 then copy those presets in your prefered Order for Setlist to say 51-61 etc. Best of luck.. If u cant get it i could throw up a video.
Thanks brother 👍👍👍👍
Welcome 👍
Thank you bro!!!!
Any time
Does this let you adjust the volume of each effect per user patch?
Yes you can turn up the mic sense which increases or decreases the volume.
@@newcastlemusicstudios So if I turn up the "mic sense" I'll get louder reverbs?
@@totigerus you will get more volume in general. If you want more Reverb on a PRESET, you will want to go to the Reverb setting and turn the knob to size +10. Then go over one arrow punch to RevLevel which goes from 0-100. 100 being the most reverb. If you use the circle knob you can also increase overall Volume on each preset by turning up the MASTER.
@@newcastlemusicstudios sweet thx
Thank you for a fine and friendly video. It saved me some time checking out the same sort of things. I am disappointed that the device does not seem offer a "3rd low" setting for harmony nor a way of achieving it by setting or editing. Do you know if I'm wrong? You have an interesting singing voice by the way.
I'd have to look at it again.
Hello my friend, ve-20 has this possibility ... I will see if I can explain to you how to do this, ok ..... when you are in the DOUBLE / HARMONY function ... and choose which voice to put .. in the case of the Tuesday below ... just turn the button counterclockwise and go to -6th which would be the 3rd low ..... the 5th low is the -4th ...... all this because VE-20 starts counting from UNISON and upwards would be normal counting ... and downwards there is this inversion ...
It is difficult to explain here but just remember that ..... -4th = 5th low .....
-6th = 3rd low ....
I hope I helped and I'm sorry for the translation ... I did it through the google translator.
I'm from Brazil and here we speak Portuguese.
@@JFGPass Hello Joseph and thank you very much for your reply. I see the answer now and it is working very well! I understand the theory as you mentioned, and understanding how to work the modes makes this pedal very useful. The only improvement I can think of is to have a hard drive backup utility as in my Boss DR-880 rhythm unit.
@@gavincahill-1142 I am happy to have helped in some way ....
What I would like this pedal to be would be to turn on the guitar so that he can read the tone of the songs just like the boss ve-2 does ... other than that for me he is perfect! .. it is very complete!
thanks, hard to find anything detailed about this pedal, its all I have...
Glad I could help!
Is there a De-esser option?
No, not an actual de_esser in the MENU. You can adjust the Tone in SFX and increase an EQ level or decrease your treble which will cut back on the sssssss sound.
Thank you ,sir
Most welcome
It would have been interesting to hear the sound effects. Anyway thanks a lot.
I made another video for that called "BOSS VE20 REVIEW AND TEST".
I'm not good at singing but n that video you will get an idea of what I mean
Is it because I don’t have a mixer .? Is that why I can’t get this pedal to work thru an amp ?
No you don't need a mixer . If you are having issues. You can send me a picture of your setup and Cable connections outlawguitarplayer@gmail.com
And I'll take a look and see if I notice anything. Which microphone are you using ?
Newcastle Music Studios thank you so much. I’m using a shure beta 98 clip on mic . Not wireless
Make sure the 48V power is on, on your Boss Ve20.
Newcastle Music Studios ah which setting is that under ? Dynamics ?
Click MENU, THEN push the right arrow button 2 times to see if 48V power is on. If it is off turn the knob clockwise 1 time. If that does solve the problem... It could be a bad cable. Did you buy it NEW OR USED? make sure your cube amp has the volume up loud enough. U can test the microphone by just plugging it into the XLR on the amp and engaging the MIC button then whisper into it to see if it picks up yr voice etc.
Wish there was an app for this box. Presets would be lots easier.
I agree. After you learn to program the preset.
Just as a memory exercise, I'd make a new preset 1 or 2 times a week to until it becomes easy.
