VT-1, BOSS

The BOSS VT-1 Voice Transformer was a unique device designed for altering and effecting the human voice. Now a cult classic, it had a vocoder, harmonizer and reverb, with 4 preset memory locations. It provided everything from voice “thickening” to a full ±1 octave pitch shift, but the most interesting feature, and the one that got the most attention, were the separate controls for both pitch and formant, so the user’s voice can be altered without the “chipmunk” effect — and could even be used to change a vocal gender.
