Boss ME-20Published on 12/05/08 at 01:27
(Originally written by Resty/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Available effects: Delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, distortion, wah. Stereo output. See full features and listen to sound samples on Roland's website. Pros: Effect number, ease of use, weight: 10/10 Cons: No acoustic guitar sound. Other cons: No bass sound (Digitech and TC Electronics devices do have this very convenient feature. The TC bass sound is excellent, Digitech's sound is awful)



UTILIZATION

Everything is extremely easy. Many effect pedals in a single and light pedalboard. It's like a dream!!! But it's only the features that make you dream. Because as soon as you use the unit...

SOUND QUALITY

... you are strongly disappointed. No separate delay and reverb settings. Bad quality chorus, reverb and delay effects. Digitech offers a much better sound quality for half the price. The wah-wah effect should be named quack-quack. And the distortion presets only make you want to stop. All effects sound very cheap. The ME20 is a disaster. Save your money and buy a GT10 or a Digitech RP Series (less expensive)... It's a pity because it could be the perfect pedalboard with all its effect possibilities and the GT10 sound, of course!!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

I wouldn't buy it again, not even for a couple of bucks!

All effects. No bass sound. We must choose reverb or delay. <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />


USE

Very simple


SOUND QUALITY

The effects are pretty nil. The low end. We can not put the reverb and delay ensemble.C'est either one or the autre.Les disots are arch archi zero. <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />


NOTICE GLOBAL

Even at 1 euro I pass my way. too bad. And ugly too! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif"...…

full effect, means to do good toy!

But it gave me a lot of time without scratching ...

UTILIZATION

very easy to edit, understand. But to find the right sound, it's hard!

SOUND QUALITY

and no good!

it depends on what we put behind! This is still an entry level!

OVERALL OPINION

Audio multi-effects pedal that allowed me to go away. I started with, I am now a player not too bad ...
For three, I use this pedal.

The sound is average as it gets if you not spend a lot of time to do its presets. To get the sound you want, you have to spend a lot of time ...
it is for an amp / speaker not too bad.

After you with a small amp input range ... I heard she made miracle!

Otherwise, great start, the wah is nice, knob too!

I do not know if I would buy this ... I have not tried others, I got it as a gift.

Tremendous opportunities via the multitude of programmable effects and / or pre-programmed.

UTILIZATION

Too complicated for me! You spend more time tweaking than playing.

SOUND QUALITY

Used with a Pacifica 621 or VGS Eruption on headphones or amp is cold, too artificial. I still prefer the sound that comes out of my Line6 Pocket Pod Express. !

OVERALL OPINION

I kept one month so that disappointed me, and since I do not use that part of my Vox amp modeling, more pleasant, warm and with more relief, and easier to program! …
