Boss VG-800 V-Guitar Processor Effect Unit

Expanding past the outer limits of your usual electric guitar synthesis, the Boss VG-800 is a modeling and amp/effects processor for guitar and bass. Driven on by Boss V-Guitar tech and the Serial GK divided pickup, this robust digital engine completely transforms the sound profile of your instrument entirely for creating worlds of sounds.

The VG-800 delivers massively for players seeking extensive synthesized tonality. Capable of emulating a vast lineup of guitars, basses, acoustics, sitars, banjos, and so much more, the VG-800 is an all-in-one library of stringed instrument models ready for performance. Accompanied by the Serial GK divided pickup available separately, the VG-800 plays with absolutely minimized latency. This pickup allows for individual string processing that enables the VG-800 to be played on a string-by-string basis. What this adds up to is a unit that can adjust synthesized tunings for each string independently and map different effects to each string. Build your own individualized effect and model experience string by string with the VG-800, if that’s your kind of synthesis experience.

Working equally well with bass guitars, the VG-800 features a suite of dedicated bass-processing algorithms. Classic fretted and fretless bass models land in the VG-800 alongside acoustic uprights, VIO basses, and more to get low and expressive with your favorite four-string.

The VG-800’s functionality expands past the normal modeling and synthesis of singular instruments. With this unit, players have the options to create dual-modeled instruments to play with including splitting two guitars across individualized strings, playing two guitars at once, creating a guitar and bass split across the strings and instantly transitioning between different instruments entirely. The wealth of instrumentation and customization available on the VG-800 is striking for players looking to express themselves in this format.

Finally, the VG-800 takes a bow with its onboard effects suite and connectivity. The VG-800 offers up a wide array of effects derived from Boss’s classic stompbox library ready for integration into the guitar modeling equation. This includes your favorite drives, modulations, amp models and more as the VG-800 effortlessly runs the gamut to result in an effortlessly expressive and musical unit. Connectivity plays an equally impactful role onboard the VG-800 as integrated send and return jacks allow for external effects to be looped into the unit while external expression controls, MIDI connections, and USB outs connect with your extended rigs in all your favorite ways. Through these connections, you can access the BOSS Tone Studio, record via the VG-800’s internal USB audio/MIDI interface, and control MIDI software instruments.

With so much functionality to explore, it can be easy to get lost in the expansive nature of it all. While there is very much to be excited about, at its heart the VG-800 is still very much a tool for unlocking attainable models and synths. Take up this Boss creation and discover the limitlessness of its power and design.
