KT Tunstall

Award-winning artist KT Tunstall is well known for her dynamic solo performances that incorporate multi-layered looping with guitar, percussion, and harmonized vocals. Not long ago, she took the new VE-8 Acoustic Singer for a spin and was impressed with having so many useful tools in one package. “It’s just fantastic having your loop, vocal effects, and any guitar effects you want in one little box,” KT said. “And you also have a tuner in there, so you don’t need a separate tuner. It just makes it very quick and easy and simple.”

Read on to check out KT performing her song “Suddenly I See” with the VE-8 and a number of other BOSS effects pedals. After that, KT discusses her musical background and talks about the VE-8.

Metal Guitar Effects Combo

The MT-2 is great for metal guitarists because it’s as diverse as the genre. The level of EQ adjustment allows the player to dial in a huge variety of tones with outrageous levels of distortion. Octave and harmonist effects are common tools for fattening up those big riffs or adding a huge three-voice harmony to a solo. The S-Bend mode arms you with the ability to “bend” the tone from -3 octaves to +4 octaves for extreme divebomb/whammy action – add an expression pedal for complete control over your pitch mangling. A flanger adds that cold swirling sound similar to a phaser with a swept comb filter effect often administered by metal players. The FB-2 will ensure you have epic feedback ready at any time or any volume and the equalizer and volume pedal are a good idea because when you’re playing at 11 you need to be in control at all times!
