Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The “enhance” knob seems to both compress and brighten your vocal as you turn it up. It sounds as good as any mixer and the effects (both vocal and acoustic guitar) are stellar.

Yamaha silent guitar slg200s. The acoustic resonance knob is very important as my guitar has no actual body. Think of a resonance knob as externally miking the guitar.

The looper is smooth and seamless. Great for bluegrass style,laying down the rhythm and then soloing and improvising over it.

The ve-8 has a headphone jack and an auxillery in. You can set what the xlr and 1/4 outputs do and routed. Another little known feature is that it has a 20 m ohm input.

Cons

Dry signal is lifeless regardless of the quality of the mic or guitar. On the guitar section the 4 knobs make very little difference no matter what the position.

The available parameters are a joke. It's just not very user friendly. Don't feel like bringing in a professor from another planet to figure out.

Too many bells and whistles. If you just hit it once, or miss your timing, it goes automatically into overdub mode.

Quality

If you thought you could just plug your iphone into it and record your gigs with the usb out, won't happen.

Competitiveness

I was hesitant to buy the boss after not enjoying its competition, but this thing is very easy to use right out of the box.

I use the ve-8 with an hollow body electric ukulele, and a shure sm-58 microphone.

Double tap to stop the looper is a little awkward so i added on a fs-7 footswitch.
