MGR/Anonymous « Boss ME-30 »
Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00I was initially using a BOSS Metal Zone distortion kit,and was longing for a multi Effect processor for a long time.Once my band's Bassist asked me to help him in buying a Multi Effect Processor as he wanted to shift to Lead Guitaring. Since I owned a BOSS Distortion and was more than satisfied with its performance, I asked him to get a BOSS processor. Two weeks latter his father sent him a BOSS ME 30 which his father bought for 250 US$. His father basically knew nothing about Guitars or Processors and this friend of mine had never used a kit before, So he asked me to help him use it ,he didnt have an electric guitar and was planning to buy one and since i had one he kept the kit in my house and asked me to program it for him. I spent some 15 - 20 days with the Processor and in that time i Got hold of sounds i loved hear from my guitar .I could now play METALLICA - "Enter Sandman" , VAN HALEN'S "Panama", IRON MAIDEN'S " Wasting Love" and so many other songs which i longed to play but couldnt as i couldnt get the right sound for them.I wished i owned that kit and suddenly Fortune Struck and my friend decided to stick to BASS Guitaring and wanted to sell the BOSS ME 30, and the very next day i payed him 180 US $ and got the kit from him . I knew that he wasnt lucky and I was Blessed to get a brand new BOSS ME 30 which cost 250 us$ for 180 us$.
This is how I got my BOSS ME 30 ....
The BOSS ME 30 is one of the smallest Kits in its category .I have played with ZOOM 2020,ZOOM 505,BOSS GT 5( recently) but of all these kits ME 30 looks neat and Clean Its got a great LCD display that makes things easier.The volume and expression controls are great, so now i can switch from a rough Distorted sound to an amazingly Clean undistorted patch without getting that unwanted noise during that shift and the expression pedal gives you control over you Distortion Drive Limit which sounds great when you wanna play slow rock.The delay is absolutely marvelous you get to set delay patches that you could only Dream of. The first time i used the delay I could only think of Pink floyd and Def Leppard and most other Processors dont offer such Delay or can even sound like one of these bands.Programing is easy and once you are comfortable you can even set patches even in the middle of a show .And the kit is so dependable it has never let me down in any of the shows i have played in. I just Love this Kit.....
The only thing I dont like about the kit is the wah wah pedal it is not as good as the VOX pedal. You dont get the same Punch that the VOX Wah Wah Pedal offers you..
As i said before The kit is neat, Solid and is dependable its almost 2 years since i got it, It still rocks like a Brand new one. It has taken a lot of Abuse from my side I have accidentally dropped Coke on it, Dropped it on the floor a couple of times But It just wakes up and says " hello DUDE-I AM READY TO ROCK".
BOSS ME 30 -"Rules,it ROCKS"
