Boss BE-5M Programmable Multiple Effects

Boss BE5 m ...
is a pedalboard / multi purpose analog comprising a plastic shell:

- Boss CS2 compressor
- Overdrive / distortion Boss OS2
- Boss CE2 chorus
- A Boss DD2 Delay
- Noise gate

Can be programmed / activated sdauvegarder effects (but not setting)
and the effects loop and the overall volume

It can not be simpler, the effects are useful, not surpeflus ..
it is far from modern digital multi who do everything but are all evil!

UTILIZATION

not need the manual settings are the same as effects pedals Boss
(Normal right?)
to record a write config is pressing .. point bar

can not be simpler (like any cranks that time: PUE5, UE300, power trio ...)

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are quality Boss Japan! (The pedalboard was made in Japan)
So we find the same thing on separate pedals (CS2/OS2/CE2/DD2)

And that's good news! I was supposed to simulate an ME50 Boss pedals ... : D
it has nothing to do! Here was REALLY pedals and analog grain (saturation / chorus)

I play it with a Start 70's (equipped with 2 single, 1 hotrail) and Ricken 360.
All plugged in an old Marshall Lead 12 (reverb 12) amended.

OVERALL OPINION

I had this pedal in the late 80's .. I was looking for a for a while
(After unsuccessfully toured all that is done by modeling
I had several multi Digitech / Boss / Yamaha, the Pod, the Vamp, the Tonelab (SE and desktop), etc. ..

it feels good to return to the simple, obvious and especially that really sounds!

Obviously, this is not meant to play nu metal or anything ultra saturated
But for all that is pop / rock / hardcore / heavy 70's / 80's / 90's it's still very versatile
Finally and most importantly ... there were 5 Boss pedals (and good: CC2, DD2 ...) for less
that the price of one secondhand!

Much better for me than a PU or UE300 yet much more sought after ...
