Gearank Recommendation
The Perform-VE was on our recommended list for Vocal Effects Pedals / Processors from October 2021 until March 2022 when it was out-ranked by other options.
Overview
The TC-Helicon Perform-VE is a vocal effects processor that combines looping and sampling features in one package.
At its core is a Midas mic preamp that allows for a clean and clear base sound, which you can then apply various effects like reverb, doubling, filter, compression and more.
It also has autotune, stutter and vocoder effects that makes this a viable tool for DJ, dance and EDM style performances.
MIDI sync and tap-tempo makes this compatible with other instruments and gear that you may be using.
The general sentiment is that the Perform-VE is an inspiring and fun "toy" ideal for modern music production.
