The BOSS Acoustic Singer Pro amplifier is filled with creative features for solo performers.
In the August 2017 issue of Guitar Player, musician and GP contributor Jimmy Leslie put BOSS’s Acoustic Singer Pro to the test for the magazine’s Frets acoustic section. Jimmy praised the amp’s “smooth and silky” sound, versatile two-channel design, and useful onboard features for solo performers. He particularly liked the fact that the amp’s looper allowed him to loop both vocals and guitar, putting that feature “in the awesome category.” In wrapping up the review, Jimmy said, “The Acoustic Singer Pro delivers on its all-in-one promise and definitely facilitates performing as a one-man band.”

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.

I’m a Senior Academic Advisor for Berklee Online, and I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years. My influences include everybody from Joe Pass and Wayne Krantz to Derek Trucks and Paul McCartney.

In this post, I’d like to discuss my thoughts on looping and how it can be a guitarist’s best friend.
