The V-8 from BOSS is a preamp, an effects unit, and a USB interface all rolled into one. It's primarily intended for singer/songwriters looking for a multipurpose solution to handle their vocals and acoustic guitars in one device. The unit provides independent effect channels, as well as an 80-second phrase looper, expandable expression-pedal options, and a USB output for recording straight to a computer.

On-board effects allow you to apply not only reverb, delays, and other ambiences to your sound, but to harmonize with yourself in real time, depending on the preselected key of your song, or in a manner determined by the input of the guitar. On the guitar side, you can mitigate the quack of undersaddle pickups with an acoustic-resonance option, apply reverbs, delays, and pitch shifts, or simply tune your axe.

Q: 8. what is the difference between the "Live" and the "Live L T ? Thanks

A: The Acoustic Singer Live LT is the most streamlined model in the series, offering simplified operation for players who don’t need the looper and harmony features found in other Acoustic Singer amps. Dual channels allow you to connect an acoustic/electric guitar and a vocal mic, complete with dedicated EQ and effects for independent sound shaping. And via the loaded rear panel, you can interface with PA systems, music players, computers, and more. It is just a bit smaller and lighter as well.

A: No, the Acoustic Singer Live LT operates using AC power only. It does not have an option for battery power. We do have many options for amplifiers to use with instruments and microphones that have both battery and AC power options such as the Bose S1 Pro Multi-Position PA System with Bluetooth and Battery Pack (B&H # BOS1PSWB), Behringer Europort MPA40BT-PRO All-in-One 40W Portable Bluetooth PA System with Rechargeable Battery (B&H # BEMPA40BTPRO), and JBL EON ONE PRO All-in-One Rechargeable Linear Array PA System (B&H # JBEONONEPRO), just to give you a better idea.
