Boss ME-6B

MOE 6B is a multi-effect pedal for bass to 6 pedals.

He can use the pedal in patch mode or manual (which adjusts each effect separately, as if it were several separate pedals)
There are 25 effects settings in memory (patches) that combines 11 different effects (very full):

-Compressor
Enhancer-
-Overdrive
-Distortion
Synth-bass + Smart Filters (type wha-wha auto)
Noise-suppressor
-Égualiseur
-Chorus
-Flanger
-Reverb
-Delay

The overall volume is adjustable and controllable with a volume pedal (not included but not expensive).

There is a bypass button (to cancel all effects).

The effects are editable, storable and copyable.

The connection is very comprehensive:

Low-input jack
Tuner-output jack ()
-Amp output (2 jack, stereo)
Jack-pedal
Remote-management manual
Making remote-bypass
-Headphone jack
-Jack adapter

adapter is provided (no battery compartment.
The set is sturdy although it is plastic. We see that the BOSS: it's quality!

UTILIZATION

The general use is very simple: just play with the arrow keys to move from one end to another and from one setting to another.

The transition from one patch to another is also very simple: just play on different banks of effects. Even in the dark we found it!

So overall effects editing is easy but less than if they were separate pedals with pots (you can not have everything). With a little practice it goes very well because chque pedal controls a different effect.

The manual (found on the internet) is in French and easy to understand, no problem.

SOUND QUALITY

Overall the effects are really good, but ... not all!

-The compressor / enhancer is effective without being transcendental: it does its job, period.
-The overdrice / distortion is effective, the sound is easy to define.
Synth-bass in my opinion is useless: the sounds are strange and settings Wha-wha not easy to find and fairly average.
-The égualiseur is very effective.
The nose-suppressor is effective if it is needed (not me!)
-Chorus / flanger is good.
-Reverb / delay is very good.

The effects used separately in manual mode is very convenient to use because each control pedal effects. So it is operated as conventional pedals (on / off).

Some patches are interesting and, if published, can be very useful. But to be honest, some patches are totally unusable (at least in music earth!). I think it's often the case in multi-effects (all his bad taste ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year.

The sounds available are really interesting and especially love the versatility of this pedal, especially when compared to other multi-effects pedal two or three where you have to multiply the handling (not practical in concert! ).

The price / quality ratio is unbeatable: we build quality (it's really strong) and sounds from BOSS pedals in one cheap (in OCCAZ less than 100 euros).
I would do this election? Yes I would buy without hesitation but the volume pedal right away with: it is essential in my opinion (there are around 40 euros).
