    Boss ME-33

    Boss ME-33Published on 07/03/03 at 15:00
    Bought on e-bay for $130 brand new.

    The actual sounds of the effects being used is excellent. Everybody knows that Boss pedals are top of the line and I've owned a few myself. I've been using a DODFX-7 for about 6 years and for a beginner it's been great but I desired better tone. The Boss ME-33 has given me so many options to change the tone. I can adjust the gain on both the amp model and the regular distortion which comes in like 12 different settings. Unbelievable. The User sets are great because I can copy sounds from one set to the other by just using copy and then write. Very simple to use. A quick look at the manual and you're all set. The options are endless. I had a Digi…

The User sets are great because I can copy sounds from one set to the other by just using copy and then write. Very simple to use. A quick look at the manual and you're all set. The options are endless. I had a Digitech RP300 and returned it after 3 days because to me it was ridiculous to use. Sounds were fake and it seemed difficult to figure out. Also, you can change the tone, drive, reverb, delay without going into the whole setup. I've been able to get delay sounds to a perfect time. If you play any U2 songs you'll know what I'm talking about.
    The delay setting is as good as a delay pedal. Like I said Boss knows good pedal sound.

    If I have to complain about anything it would be the presets but then I've played a lot of effect pedals and they're all like this. These companies must have computer geeks who don't know how to play guitar make the presets. That's what is so great about this pedal is that you can make your own sound so easily.

    Made out of hard plastic and well constructed. Led Lights and computer display are lit very well. Knobs and wah easy to turn and operate.

    I wish I bought this pedal years ago. Trying to get that SRV tone can be very frustrating. I'm a big fan of SRV, the Edge of U2, Joe Satraini, and Van Halen. The Boss ME-33 has helped me get the tones with my fender fat strat set with seymour duncan pickups. I play through a Fender Princeton 65 DSP AMP. I couldn't be happier with this pedal. Boss does not make the ME-33 anymore (they upgraded to the ME-50) but they're selling on e-bay all the time. If you like to play many different guitar player styles this pedal is the one for you.

    Boss ME 33

    Boss ME-33Published on 05/21/02 at 15:00
    I bought this unit for 300 bucks.

    this rocks! can program different sounds from rock-jazz-country and metal.The built-in cosm guitar amp model helps in selecting
    the 5 different types of amplifier you want to use.Has also autoriff,harmonizer(modeler)
    for extra effects.Has a cool backlit green light LCD panel when playing in the dark.
    Looks decent and proffesional.Also has a guitar simulator to select the type of guitar to use, accoustic/electric/hyper-electric (pick-ups).

    I enjoy playing boss me 33,the only problem i see is that it lacks the wah power. Unlike the whammy from digitech but for this price, it is still the best deal for me.

    This unit is built with hard black plastic.

    This unit is built with hard black plastic.
    Plastic Buttons, black&blue.

    Before I bought this unit, I was using the older model (boss me-6)bought it for $150 bucks.I was really impressed of its clear sound but didn't appreciate the distortion/overdrive effects, there was too much hisssss sound and the noise suppression was not helping much.After 3 years I was planning to buy Metal Zone MT-2
    to replace me-6 but then, I also saw this boss me 33 wherein i thought it could save me a lot, because it has everything on it(OD,Metal Dist.Chorus...esp. wah).
    Then, I just have decided to but me 33 coz
    of it's price,looks,and sound quality.
    I recommend this unit to all beginners/proffesionals and wouldn't regret of buying one.

    Here is a form of multieffect pedalboard with modeling technology "COSM"

    Sincerely this pedal is very complete, and can do everything, it also models of amps (which is very nice to record songs on the PC) the sound is way trs any time ...

    I have a Line6 Pod XT, of course, red beans suprieur pedalier who now has that make me redundant, but the BOSS is a good product for the beginner guitarist and guitarist average (professionals will turn to for the Line6 modeling amp, or to a G-Force or Replifex for effects)

    I put 9 in features because you can really do everything with

    UTILIZATION

    Then it is quite complex, some effects require some knowledge when you see all the hacks, oulalalala!
    I did a brief personal ear and it worked very well ^ ^
    I put 8 because personally I am not patient and I do not spend hours making me sound, but eight is a good note

    SOUND QUALITY

    Sound? Difficult to note, compared to a Pod XT (on a scale of 10, the pod being 10, I would situate the Boss 6 / 7) but in terms of price quality ratio I would say 8?

    9 / 10 if you buy used, sincerely pedal that's how it is 150 used, I have my own bank of 30 310 power supply, all nine he Y'a 3 years, is short of good hardware and it sounds good even when ...
    It simulates most of the pedal that BOSS has put on the market, and who better than BOSS can simulate them?
    The effects are really excellent, There are just the amp simulation that fish a little, it is not perfect

    So here's to 8
    Opinion in 2010: Good, in fact the effects are just too typs, when we have gote the more upscale, especially of a true bypass, it is impossible to rutiliser this pdalier
    So the limit 4 / 10

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is a very good product, I possess 3 years, no worries.
    I like the quality of its effects, what is worse is the slight break when you switch, (but I live personal uses multi-effect and no amp simulator ca ^ ^ c 'is just so good in the studio to the limit what it will be crazy ^ ^)
    I test a lot of multi effect before this one, give the other can be of best quality sound in the studio (I think a Line6 / Korg3000g) thanks to more powerful amp simulation, but as an effect The BOSS seems best

    If I had the choice again, I think I will not repeat them because I do not hardly ever used in my things today, I'm trs plug and play, and I play rock: p
