You can easily select your guitar, voice, or both for looping via panel buttons or an optional footswitch.

For your guitar you can have effects like Acoustic Resonance, which dials in more realism and 'natural' tone to guitars with piezo pickups; there's a notch filter for weeding out niggly feedback frequencies; and there are also high-quality chorus and reverb effects here for you. I agree with runnng the Boss after the Aura gives the guitar tone definitely a 'fuller' tone, it just sound big and fat and nice. When I practice with this setup, and you do need to practice with it to get use to it, I close my eyes sometimes and and the reverbs make me think I am at a bar playing. Not only is it easy to tweak the harmony intervals, but it’s easy to tweak the timbre of the harmonies and easy get the levels to blend nicely. This was also the only pedal that would occasionally have me verbalizing my excitement over some of the sounds I could get out of it… The only features I wish it had from the other pedals are the VE-8’s “acoustic resonance” and guitar delay, and the longer looping time offered by the other pedals.I've checked out a few videos on this subject ( all for apple mac) and it appears that I've got everything connected correctly. After owning the gadget for a while, a few foibles have turned up, nothing to change my mind about how great it is but. It wasn’t a big deal when just playing around, but it would be pretty devastating were that to happen in a live setting.

In your original post, you said "I am wondering what others have experienced with the VE-8, and what their opinions of it are. There’s also a nice vocal doubling effect, a useful feature for adding fullness and presence to your voice as needed.

I bought mine new when they first came out, sold the TC version, but worked out everything on my own. Anyway it all comes down to user preference, it's a nice feature to have built-in and I'm sure many are happy with it. For straight through recording, the 2 XLR plugs going out give a great sound, in stereo, but I can't see plugging 2 mic leads plus power at an open mic/blues jam to test the soundguy patience, plus lugging your own mic and lead.Issue- VE-8 looper limited to 80 seconds of looping and needs the additional foot switch to use “one” stop feature. I subsequently found this link, which is good but doesn't demonstrate a 'before' and 'after' example of pitch correction :- https://www. The VE-8 also has harmonies that can sound beautiful and many circumstances, but I found them harder to dial in. The demos sound much better than the product seems like it SHOULD sound - and not just the IK manufacturer demos, even videos online by users.

I didn’t find it as easy to get great vocal sounds right off the bat, as I did with the Play Acoustic, but I found, with a bit of playing, that I was able to get some solid sounds. The Boss VE-8 puts revolutionary effects, vocal tuning and harmonic processing into one compact pedal. The 'enhance' function for both guitar and vocals is great, subtly brightening and compressing the sound to lift it and put it more forward in the mix. I never really wanted to sing, but it seems that if you play guitar (by yourself), you pretty much have to sing to get the most out of it.I use it in my church worship band with a line out to a stage monitor and XLR direct outs for separate guitar and vocal feeds to the PA. Simple to use, the Boss VE8 provides studio-quality voice and guitar processing plus impressive real-time harmonies and looping in one compact, go-everywhere package.
