Explore infinite creative possibilities with the VG-800 from BOSS, a modeling and amp/FX processor pedal for guitar and bass. Sporting 250 guitar and bass models, over 150 FX, and driven by the latest V-Guitar tech and the Serial GK divided pickup, this processor allows you to craft the instrument and amp setup of your dreams.
Powerful functions enable truly unique and useful experimentations: use Dual Guitar and Dual Bass to play different stringed instruments together or on independent strings; explore alternate and drop tunings with perfect sound quality; convert your guitar tone into synth-style sounds or use VIO modeling for bowed attack; use your guitar or bass signal to directly trigger MIDI-compatible gear—the creative potential is limitless. You can create harmonies, string bends, and even alter the tuning of each individual string. And with diverse I/O, including a Serial GK interface, a stereo FX loop, stereo outputs, 3.5mm TRS MIDI, and support for up to four external expression or footswitch pedals, you’ll always have the hook up for your specific application. The VG-800 includes a power adapter and four rubber feet.
Unlock Infinite Possibilities with V-Guitar
The VG-800’s advanced V-Guitar approach leverages sophisticated BOSS technologies to realize a world of new musical potential. Coupled with the Serial GK divided pickup, V-Guitar allows you to recreate a variety of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and basses, plus instruments like sitar and banjo.
You can also play synth tones, including a spot-on emulation of Roland’s GR-300 from the early ’80, and travel to undiscovered territory with the unique VIO type and its bowed attack characteristics. The VG-800 comes loaded with great preset sounds, ready to play on their own or inspire your own creations.
Dedicated Bass Mode
The VG-800 works equally well with bass, providing a dedicated mode with bass-optimized processing algorithms and 150 independent memories. Access a variety of modeled instrument types, including classic fretted and fretless bass types and an acoustic upright. Then tap into unique textures with VIO Bass and synth tonalities, including a GR-300 model specifically tuned for bass applications.
Unlimited Creation and Customization
The intuitive VG-800 menu structure makes it easy to build virtual instruments with deep customization tools. Simply select a type to begin, then dial in sounds and string behaviors as you like.
Depending on the selection, you can adjust parameters such as instrument style, pickup position, resonance, and much more. Each string’s pitch and panning are adjustable as well, allowing you to create alternate tunings and ultrawide sounds.
Innovative Dual Guitar and Dual Bass Modes
With the unique Dual Guitar and Dual Bass types, you can create supercharged platforms with two independent instruments:
Split Two Guitars Across the Strings: Riff with two distinctive sounds by assigning a clean single-coil guitar type to strings 1 to 3 and a distorted humbucker guitar type to strings 4 to 6.
Play Two Guitars at Once: Create powerful hybrid sounds by performing with two different guitar types through the same amp and effects chain.
Split Guitar and Bass: Perform solo chord melody arrangements with the sweet tone of a hollow-body guitar on strings 1 to 4 and an electric bass on strings 5 to 6.
Instantly Transition Between Two Different Instruments: Strum with the beautiful resonant tone of a 12-string acoustic guitar in one part of a song, then play searing electric guitar solos up the neck using a modern humbucker sound.
Deep Performance Control
The VG-800’s onboard switches and diverse external control options unlock inspiring performance possibilities. Change up the instrument type or tuning with a single press.
Bend the pitch of individual strings as you play to create pedal steel, B-bender, and other unique effects. Or smoothly morph between instrument types, each with a discrete signal processing chain. The only limit is your imagination.
A Complete Sound Solution
The VG-800 delivers a massive amount of creative power in a compact size that flows into any setup. Along with its instrument modeling functions, it’s filled with advanced signal processing derived from flagship-level BOSS multi-effects.
Amps and effects can be applied to two modeled sounds and the dedicated guitar input for standard pickups, letting you craft complex combinations all within the VG-800. Send and return jacks are also available to patch in your favorite mono and stereo pedals.
Seamless Computer Recording
With its multichannel USB audio and MIDI interface, the VG-800 is a powerhouse recording tool for computer music production. Capture the stereo mix and switch instruments in real time as you perform. Or record two modeled instrument sounds and the direct guitar input to separate DAW tracks.
It’s even possible to separately record the unprocessed string sounds from the GK divided pickup, then pipe them back into the VG-800 for re-guitar or re-bass processing. Speedy pitch-to-MIDI conversion is also supported, allowing you to trigger software-based instruments with your guitar or bass.
Edit, Download, and Share Sounds
BOSS Tone Studio (macOS/Windows) makes it even easier to explore the VG-800’s vast range. Edit memories on your computer’s large screen, adjust system settings, import your favorite speaker IRs, and manage setups for different playing applications. BOSS Tone Exchange is also accessible within the software, allowing you to stay inspired by downloading professionally created Livesets and sharing sounds with the global BOSS community.
Instant Response and Natural Feel
To accomplish its magic, the V-Guitar system captures discrete string signals with the Serial GK divided pickup and applies sophisticated high-speed processing in real time. This approach delivers a completely natural playing experience with no lag or latency to detach you from the music. There are user-installable Serial GK guitar (GK-5) and bass (GK-5B) pickup models for external mounting, plus Serial GK kit options for permanent installation within instruments.
Note: Serial GK guitar and bass pickups as well as kit options are sold separately.
Interface with Other Serial GK Gear
The VG-800 also functions as a hub for creating a larger Serial GK system. Using the Serial GK output, you can drive a GM-800 Guitar Synthesizer or a second VG-800. This connection supports stereo digital audio transfer, allowing you to output combined sounds from the last connected device.
