For vocal effects, how would I set them up for hands free operation? Is it by saving the effects in memory and stepping through with the pedal.

W Ng - I set up the Boss VE-8 differently than most, and it isn't hands free, but it is very effective. I have been using the unit live at gigs for over a year now. I cannot afford the time between songs to navigate the pedal on the ground with the different vocal and guitar effects I use (harmonies, vocal reverb, some guitar effects, etc). So I have the pedal sitting on a stand in front of me waist high (I stand). This allows me to make simple adjustments between songs by hand. I also have the Boss FS-7 foot switch set up ($60.00 on Amazon). This sits on the ground, and I am able to turn harmonies on and off during a song while continuing to play. Would also work switching on or off a guitar effect, the looper, etc. This system works very well live, and I waste very little time between songs with adjustments. i absolutely love this unit by the way.

can i have a 220 volt power adapter?

The VE-8 comes with an AC power supply, but that is only for the secondary to the back of the unit. You would need to get an AC converter or step-up transformer, from 120VAC to 220VAC, on the primary, for operation outside the U.S.

How much time on the loops?

According to the manual, 80 secs. I haven't used the looper for more than 20 secs yet.

When using "enhance" (pitch correction) feature, is a manually entered key used by ve-8? or is it always chromatic correction?

You can do either. Set the pitch correction to a specific key or just let it adjust automatically. I have found the auto feature works the best.
