Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com, today we're taking a trip into the grid with the new Boss Vocoder. Roland was one of the pioneers of musical vocoding technology, and the legacy continues with the compact VO-1. This pedal is a powerful multifaceted voice synthesizer that uses a microphone with an external sound source, then joins the two inside the pedal and produces its characteristic sound. The Blend knob controls the ratio between dry and wet signal for just a hint of effect or full-on robotics. A Color knob changes function depending on the mode, of which there are four. Vintage mode is a classic vocoder effect heart on many old funk records and modern dance classics, and Advanced mode offers a newer vocoder sound with greater clarity. Talk Box mode emulates its namesake without any gross mouth tubes, and Choir mode adds external voices for harmonization. The Vocoder’s four modes, Color knob and effects loop gives players near-infinite possibilities, as any chain of effects in the loop is used to process the sound source’s signal and then meld the chain with clean vocals. A switch on the rear of the pedal changes the microphone’s sensitivity for different vocal styles, perfect for players who really belt it out live. Like every Boss pedal ever made, the Vocoder comes in the same road-ready enclosure since 1978, built to withstand the test of time.
