MGR/Anonymous « Boss ME-30 »
Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00I was looking to give life to my beginner Godin Electric and be able to create a wide variety of sounds. The ME-30 ran me around $250.
It has a little bit of everything. Wah, overdrive, flanger, chorus, phaser, delay...
Somewhat complicated, and the ME-30 seemed to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. While the sounds were diverse and good for understanding how different effects work (they duplicate the controls of different pedals), they just didn't seem to duplicate the authenticity. The overdrive didn't seem to carry the beef it should. Perhaps it would be better if they concentrated on fewer, better.
Compact, durable, well-made.
In my opinion, no. If you want a little of everything, and just want to experiment. But for the musician who wants an authentic vintage amp sound, you're not going to get it from the ME-30.
The ME-30 covers a lot of bases as far as effects go, but will not satisfy the user looking for high-quality effects.
