New Vocal/Acoustic Guitar multieffect - Boss VE-8
It looks like we'll have an interesting competitor of the TC Helicon PlayAcoustic - Boss VE-8.
It's a vocal harmonizer and acoustic guitar effects with another attempt to fight the "piezo quack". Boss calls its technology the Acoustic Resonance and judging from the promotional video it doesn't completely remove the characteristic sound of piezo pickup but the guitar sounds not bad at all. Another handy feature might be using the processor as a USB audio interface or a looper. http://www.bossus.com/products/ve-8/ |

No guitar EQ, does Play Acoustic have EQ?

The sample video sounded terrible when the harmonies kicked in!

While I try to refrain from being a negative Nancy, I'm not very impressed with this demo. Considering the alternative from TE Electronics, I would say this unit sounds somewhat amateurish. If the price is significantly less, I could see there being a market for it.

at least that's what it says on the BOSS website "a three-band parametric EQ with low-cut filter". But I wonder how you access the EQ. Quote:

The demo by BOSS is pretty bad, this demo sounds a loot better to me.

from what i can tell it appears to be a one button looper which requires two taps to stop. is that true?

so it appears (though still not totally clear to me) that this is a one button looper meaning you have to push twice to stop the loop?

I would attribute the improvement to the Taylor ES2 system. The other UST demos of the Boss resonance were not impressive.

Hi Nick88,
I have and use the TC Helicon Play Acoustic. What would you like to know? |

I could be wrong.....
But as far as I can see... The TC-Helicon doesn't have pitch correction The Boss does For guitar amp... The TC only has XLR outs....which wouldn't be a problem for most people but it is for me... The Boss has both...and 1/4 L-R stereo outs.. So I'm leaning more to the Boss side..unless I'm corrected on these two features.. |
