An All-encompassing V-Guitar Processor for the Modern Musician
Fueled by cutting-edge V-Guitar technology, the BOSS VG-800 V-Guitar processor comprehensively transforms your guitar or bass signal with the click of a switch. This powerhouse processor pairs with the BOSS Serial GK divided pickup system, putting ultra-realistic modeling of myriad acoustic and electric instruments at your command. From 12-string acoustic guitars to synthesizer sounds to pickup-specific emulations (humbucker, single-coil, and so on), the VG-800 unlocks a nearly limitless library of sounds to explore. Even more impressively, the VG-800’s Dual Bass/Guitar modes and comprehensive creation tools allow you to craft simultaneous instrument pairings across the strings. As if that wasn’t enough, this pedal also comes complete with a host of professional-grade amp models and effects built right in. You can even connect the VG-800 to your DAW of choice to enjoy its multichannel USB audio interface capabilities. And while the VG-800’s intuitive workflow and control layout make it a breeze to craft even the most complex sounds, the BOSS Tone Studio and Tone Exchange offer expanded editing capabilities and access to a vast library of user-generated presets.
Note: The BOSS VG-800 V-Guitar processor requires your instrument to have a Serial GK divided pickup to function.
Explore an expansive library of acoustic and electric models
It’s tough to overstate the VG-800’s vast collection of modeled sounds. Naturally, you get all the usual suspects that performing guitarists and bassists would require, including multiple electric guitars/pickups, electric basses, acoustic guitars, and even less common instruments like sitars, banjos, and more. Moreover, the VG-800 augments these instruments with a robust range of synth textures — including an immaculate emulation of Roland’s early-1980s GR-300 — and VIO modeling. Finally, the VG-800 can even be utilized as a hub for a more expansive Serial GK system, giving you the option to drive a GM-800 guitar synth or even a secondary VG-800 from the pedal’s Serial GK output.
Multi-instrument presets and Dual Guitar/Bass modes
Once you’ve had your fill of the VG-800’s extensive library of spot-on instrument models, this pedal’s deep customization tools and Dual Guitar/Bass modes open an entirely new arena of multi-instrument options to explore. These tools allow you to assign different instruments, tunings, and even parameters like pickup models to individual strings.
Need to cover rhythm and lead duties simultaneously? Assign a 12-string guitar to your guitar’s top three strings, then outfit the lower strings with a hard-rocking humbucker tone. Tackling a solo jazz gig? The VG-800 gives you the power to dish out walking bass lines on the bottom two strings, while the top four strings cover melodic duty with a lush, warm hollowbody guitar preset. With this nearly limitless range of versatility in mind, it’s no surprise that the VG-800 is a favorite of AJ’s Music & The Music Man’s solo performers.
Expressive and dynamic options
The VG-800 sports a robust assortment of controls aimed at in-the-moment expression, not least of which is the pedal’s individual string bend function. Plug in an expression pedal, and this feature allows you to perform soaring pedal steel and B-bender effects. Plus, the VG-800’s harmony function converts single notes and chords into an enveloping ensemble of sound.
