The VE-22’s uncomplicated interface encourages you to get creative with your live vocal sound. The Harmony, Effect, and Echo sections feature multi-function knobs, letting you tweak top-level parameters, turn off a section with a click, or dive into deeper settings with a double click. And with the color display and lighted rings around the knobs, you always have a clear view of what’s happening. Three customizable switches are designed for control with your feet or hands, and you can connect an expression pedal or external footswitches for more control if needed.
