All user reviews for the Boss ME-50

Well I think that says it all for t CHARACTERISTICS ..
I personally find it quite complete, even when there are 22 distos / overdrive
but also a lot of modulation and delays ..

UTILIZATION

Level there's no use simpler: no need to go into the menus and everything ..
everything is accessible, you can have the sound we're looking for quickly.
Shame the record book is in English, but hey there are not too necessary.
Shame also that we can not put more modules, but hey you pe not have everything! (And then I use it so for me it's going!)

SOUND QUALITY

So, at the level of distortion, I think they all sound reasonable, frankly there are a few that I love.
For the delays they are really pretty! and fully customizable!
cons for the modulation by I think it means a pe (well I never used so I could not find a top m'atarder good)
APRS ago mofifier the tone, I personally find it useless .. the simulation of acoustic NULE!
aprso level of compression I pe not say I ever used.
And finally the pedals, the sound is good: wah a lot of the race are pretty Octavers condition to play a chord by chord. APRS for the voice, I would say it but bizare ca pe go well in some styles.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 months, I like its simplicity of programming and use.
in relation qualitprix I would say good trs: 300 euros PDAL PDAL while a 100 is simple ...

I do not think I would do this choice, enfiat I think it is better to make your own board with the effects that we ve ..

-Complete multi-effects: Distortion, Overdrive, Fuzz, Flanger, Chorus, Delay, Tremolo, Phaser, Reverb, Compressor, Voice, Rotary, Otava, whahwa ...
-A / D converter and D / A with CMOS technology (Roland)
Single-Output / Stro, Headset
-Between Input, MD / CD
Modl ground-robust (tt mtal)

UTILIZATION

Easy handling and intuitive.
Editing effects easy (it is taking to seek sound ^ ^)

Small BMOL: When you have a sound backup and you want to edit after having rebouger buttons, it is impossible to find the position of the knobs ...

Well done manually (Manual + Explanation of the effect to the proper address them to create their patches)

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are excellent (apart from the distortion can be that are not quite as good quality), nanmoins tt lights on an amp is HUGE!
The modulations are terrible sound of thunder and the effects of expression are a little gadget (but it takes tt) The wahwah is not bad (though I do not use it since I have a crybaby ^ ^)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for seven months, no bp point I bought it after I play with a Zoom 505 II (BOSS literally crushes it ^ ^)

This is the best qualitprix the market (now There's also the new zoom pedals on the market that I have not tested but it looks as strong competitors)

Multi purpose with COSM technology dedant then we have:
- 22 types of overdrive and distortion
- 11 types of modulation (chorus, phaser, flanger ...)
- 11 types of delay
- 4 rverbe
- 1 comprsseur
- A noise supressor (handy)
- 7 expression (wha, volume, resonance ...)
- 1 tuner

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple fai are quickly found sounds
The manual is clear trs

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are top May pa
The chorus is good, the distortion in May of the same May adsir always good for the price.
The noise suppressor is essential kam is a gross distortion jou ac.
Parcontre when changing presets while playing, the sound cuts like 1 second, which is frankly a piece ennervant!

OVERALL OPINION

Its going to make me ke 6 I uitilise
I buy for the price (about 300E) t he pa sui vachemen dear May I disappointed I expect mieu
cutting off 1sec when changing preset is vraimen dsagrable
I choose to do it again I'll buy pa small pedals sounds a lot better now

Other CF

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple, intuitive. The manual is not essential but we can still learn stuff
There are people who talk about cutting by switching effect but I see no! Mine had to be changed ... lol I ask this not in any case it's cool
It's a bit heavy and it has a hard time returning to a backpack
8 / 10

SOUND QUALITY

The distos / ODs are BOFs, there's really better now. The biggest distortion drool all over it's ugly. The modulations and delays are well. I have a cort m600, it sounds not bad, not really ... For that price is better now buy several small but quality pedals. I put 5 because a multi purpose fairly average for this price is correct and there are many effects even when

OVERALL OPINION

PDAL I bought this a month ago, at the beginning I thought it was top but with hindsight I made by buying my amp vox AD50VT (very good effect) is finished! This pedal colors the whole sound of the amp and the guitar is yucky! Finally, good for the price they say Ok Ok, but even when I regret this choice. The rapprot q / price is good but for that price I'll buy two small prfr pedals, a modulation and another OD of the same brand because frankly this is not great multi purpose!
I will put 3 / 10 for that price because it has a range of effects that still allows us to style defines a

This is a multi-purpose super functional. All the main effects are

UTILIZATION

Everything is controlled by four pedals with an expression pedals. THE FIRST engages the distortion pedals, the deuxime triggers the effects of modulation, troisime the delay, and quatrime, expression, CONTRL is the volume or the wahwah or other effects a little more option. The knobs are the easy to use. What's great is that it's actually four pedals adhesives. CONTRL them is in real time thanks each of their knobs. In addition, it was a micro simulator, compressor, noise rducteur a rverbe. There are ways to program his own sounds in the bank. but the o is the rub: there is always a second blank when changing from one bank to another ... not grate on a song! So I do not use this option. I RULES pedals each of the triggers and I when I need it! utlisiser super easy but I go down hill because of my white

SOUND QUALITY

Ben it is a multi-effect: not great effects .... but vraimenbt trs valid! this is not the essence of the sound, but the good little impact standards. if you want to MGA's, then the aim should be great pedals. the purpose of a multi purpose is not to give the essence of the sound, it would be impossible, but to offer all possible effects in a single Casing good prices!

Changes: Over time, I can not stand the importance of his numrique her. I have no good effect, nothing at all, as a ringing numrique ... In short, plutt crap at the sound quality. The numrique brings a dull veil on the grain of his guitar. I do not want more than the 100% analog!

OVERALL OPINION

I recommend this multi purpose because it is really handy: super easy to use thanks individualized for each of these knobs pedals, and because all effects are standarts l. sr although it was not the great sound ... but it offers unn bonn chantillonage is easy transnporter etc ... Then, you have to buy that super score Chres pedals if you want to have a great sound in a particular effect.

So a multi-purpose, it is especially useful super, super convenient, cheap, full of sound effects ... mandatory step before Specializes in some pedals !!!!!!

Some advice: buy the hand, you begin to find less than 200 euros.

No doubt, the quality is there Boss, complete with three very distinct pedals and knobs for other complementary effects.

All this is very clear and well distributed on the pedals.

UTILIZATION

Manuel very well, not too talkative.

Sounds very easy to adjust as very good ergonomics a little old that is not need to look in different menus, etc. ....

SOUND QUALITY

Given the multiplicity of reasonable possibilities, one must find happiness anyway, including a section distortion / overdrive comprehensive.

Knowing that they are the same engineers who work on separate pedals and multi effects, one can ask about some criticism ... I think exaggerated.

Boss can not afford to make the gear means when you know the reputation of the brand, same for Fender, Electro Harmonix, etc. ....

OVERALL OPINION

So a gear solid quality while remaining simple and acessible.
Very good general design guidance on the pedal with very clear and distribution of the different sections very ergonomic.

Less than 200 euros Pre-Owned, a very good investment for a non-professional guitarist.

For effects see the opinion below. There is a jack of two mono output jacks L and R, an auxiliary input 1 / 8 "and a stereo input for one or two footwitch that enable and disable the s Tone and drive the compressor. With only one, the tonality of slecteur we can control. I give 9 because you can only use one effect per unit time. It is on c is a multi-purpose.

UTILIZATION

Operation is very easy, there's no menu and submenu numrique only pitons. Mode memory a blank of about half a second between presets :-( I give 8 / 10 because it is a multi-effects of the easiest to operate but there is a blank between the presets.

SOUND QUALITY

The slecteur of Tone is a bit like the equalizer presets but I would love to have a better band equalizer instead. On the clean its been a diffrence but the distortion is completely useless. The compressor is average compared to other compressors on the Korg multi-effects. The noise suppressor can be very useful because many effects are background noise, but 50% pass it begins to eat the sustain. The four types of reverb are good. Delay in the block there are 4 time slots in addition to analog mode but this mode looks like a copy of the 100-500ms mode. There are also many other ways trs. Trs useful function and I like the block is the possibility to choose the tempo. Block the effects of modulation are well trs. In terms of distortion, I think they all sound digital and I really do not a. For beginners it is good. There is also an expression pedals, the wah is medium, the method allows rsonance DSIR and the others are still good. The problem with the octave is that you can just play one note simultaneously.

OVERALL OPINION

Finally, the pedals is fine if you play on the clean because if you play almost all the time with the distortion is not strong. For beginners who want to know is full of effects trs well.

Already said!

UTILIZATION

Yes the setup is very simple but I have a little more difficult to edit in effect notwithstanding the registration of the manual, but I'm beginning too.
Manuel clear

SOUND QUALITY

Yes, but I can be very objective because I am an amateur and I really try another pa multi effect, but on a good amp it must really take good because I have a small 15W.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it every time I take my guitar and I purchase for 173 € and I'm not disappointed with my choice I would highly recommend especially as a site exists on the me- 50 offering free patches: http://bossme50.free.fr/
There are only 59 available patch (acdc, led zep ...) but I made the pub to expand and bring the community together boss ME50

Very easy to use,
the pots to adjust the effects,
we appreciate the ease to put his point patches.

Nickel also to play in manual mode (as separate pedals).

An entry is expected to add an mp3, or other auxiliary jack (3.5 mm super)

UTILIZATION

For all that patch is very simple especially with three patches directly accessible by bank (there are 10 banks)

Expression pedal successful, it loses none of the distortions.

It can add several footswitch, and is convenient.

one delicate point: the loop delays require a small learning curve (but at least they are present)

SOUND QUALITY

Great for almost everything, but the distortions are difficult to resolve.

Delays perfect
modulations perfect
distorting correct

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently, it replaces a zoom-gfx1.

Comprehensive, although I keep most of this multi-purpose my old Vox 847.

For 200 euros used, no problem

See below

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use in manual mode it's like just a few pedals ligne.Je've never programmed, as I read often in the opinion that there is a blank when changing bank. I just need to adjust by hand between two chansons.Bon if you have a directory "all styles" It will be difficult.
The manual is clear but above all spend a little time to find the right set perso.Il is a table detailing all the preset parameters, it is useful for those who prefer to reuse.

SOUND QUALITY

Tone modify: not useful except "hollow", a nice half his body even with a Start!

reverb hall is fine, except that spring as soon as you attack a little means a big "ding" is groaning.

distortion:
Personally I prefer the good overdrive, not distortion it is not my style.je am using crunch, BD2, natural, scream, rat, fuzz, tone and gain to 6 to 4, a tube amp, c ' is great.

modulation: some phaser and flanger amusants.Bon gadgets but watch out for changes in volume.

Delay: normal

Expression Pedal: wah without proper rather to boost the treble.
Talk box, bof.Disons to look for the right combination of time distortion to get the maximum.

Whammy, funny, have to be a fan of Rage to judge.

OVERALL OPINION

The best: easy to use and adjust itself même.Solide léger.Bonnes and sounds in all if we look a little

Minimum: for those who are long accustomed to have super gear, it will seem lighter.

Multi-effects pedal COSM technology (digital) BOSS

UTILIZATION

The pedal (like the picture shown) consists of four "blocks" of effects:
- The overdrive / saturation (11 x 2 button with change)
- Modulations (11)
- Time limits (11)
- The effects of the expression pedal (6)
must be added:
- A selector dial tone
- Compressor
- Reverb
- A noise gate
and finally a sound bank with a default editable: the transition from one to another is done by a "white" half a second. It's a bit annoying, but it only affects the sound bank, the effects can be used one at a time without the white.

"Only" 8 / 10 for white

Edit of 22/05/2007: a graphic EQ (7 band genre) it will be really the top, can be good I ask a lot, but it's true that I enjoyed testing and see what happens. .. m'enfin is really to nitpick!

SOUND QUALITY

- Much of the OD are: the Blues Driver 2, OD 1 and 2, the fuzz are not too bad, for against the OD mode selected by the "variation" are a notch below.
- Modules are fun, but require considerable time to adapt and settings for a sound that is not too "synthetic"
- I have nothing to reproach the time, but I do not use them much ...
- The expression pedal has good modes (wah, octave + / - 1) and others less usable, at least for me ...
- The modifier key may be interested (I hugely "hollow", great for a blues with a little crunch BD 2) but some selectioions medium (acoustic, but hey should not expect a miracle)

9 / 10 because I'm really happy with the sound

Edit of 22/05/2007: I use it more and more I am delighted, frankly qq for making the guitar for fun without too much take the lead, without being a fundamentalist of "sound", and especially without spending tons of gold coins is a really good tool with a pallette of effects large enough to make a bit of everything
a note on the OD / distortion: I "discovered" every day! the tube screamer, the big muff, the rat, the octave fuzz ... ect. frankly I never tried the original and it satisfies me.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 ½ months
I bought it in store € 290 with the adapter (for my taste required)
I had never tried, but I was lucky it suits me ...
This is a great multi-effects pedal, but it is not comparable to a succession of dedicated pedals ... but this is not the same price ..
short if you have a limited budget and want to try lots of different sounds ... bingo ..
nothing prevents us from passing before the pedals dedicated ... I see it from here a year or two ... in the meantime I enjoy fine.
Edit of 22/05/2007: I note enhances a point, because even at the price and I paid (and you can have almost two times less expensive OCCAZ ...) and well I is it worth it, and then frankly my remark on the pedals dedicated, it's snobbery for the price of the ME50 is frankly all good!

3 pedals respectively, to select the distrtion, one to select the delay, one for the pedals modulation.La volume as it can be switched to select the expression.
The top buttons Attributes are a noise gate, reverb, the choice of the tonality of the guitar, and compression / sustainer.
The distortion pedals reserve possde a button change to double the number of possible distortions.
In short, a fairly large selection.

UTILIZATION

The device is simple to use, all are visible on the pdalier and a simple movement of buttons rglage gives you the sound without trying, is to adjust them according to personal tastes tonalitvolume, gain etc. ....
The mnuel clear image of the device, simple ...

SOUND QUALITY

I myself use the I 50 with a 80 watt marshall and guitars lag and Gordon Smith.
The effects are rather well made and with minimal rglages, I find my account in a few manipulations.
The choice is vast distortions, personal sounds I play pretty heavy so I use these souvebt rglages, the phaser and flanger are also often utiliss, about the delays, I use it in the short type Most of the time.
The effects of type synthsquare etc ... I do not use that little trs.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought 249, I 50 is a simple multi purpose and worth some attention.
A person seeking to use simple stuff and making effects Agralis can trust this machine I believe be of no.
I do not regret it at all and I find what I need is APRS everything I was looking for a simple and efficient

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
This is a multi-effects, so:
Distortion: From Blues to mtal driver through the fuzz ...
Modulation: Flanger, Chorus, Align and many others ... (Rotary is a bit useless)
Delay: the delay is ...
Expression: Wah, Resonance, Octave, Voice <--- trs useless ...
Tone Modify, Compressor, Reverb and Noise Suppressor
There is also a memory mode ...

UTILIZATION

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Trs explanatory, it is needed especially if the memory mode, no need ...

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
It is effective, but for better sound, better to buy single pedals ...

- Which instruments do you use?
Gibson Les Paul Studio
Ibanez Iceman '78

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

I prfre distortion blues and metal.
I dtest The ring mode, the voice Square ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
3 weeks
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plus, its rigidity is quite compact when compared several other multi effects.
Least, when you switch the mode memory, there is a blank.
- How do you report qualitprix?
It's expensive for what it is
- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
No, I'd take a GT-8 DEFINITIONS of the same brand

Trs complete multi-effects.
However, it lacks a footswicht to change banks ... I bought later (Boss FS-5U).

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, rglage like analog pedals.
Note its rglages mode memory because if you must paufiner then impossible to find your first rglages.
The manual is clear.

SOUND QUALITY

Quality sound perfect for those who love their Boss.
Chorus, delay, tremolo, flanger, effects that I use to clean sounds are wonderful.
The overdrive / distortion is really great for rock, hard rock 70 '.
I use OD-1, OD-2, BD-2, RAT.
OD-2, the sound perfect for hard-rock 70 '(Deep Purple, etc. ...).
Modify the tone is INTERESTED in position to accentuate mdiums FAT, ACOUSTIC position for simulation acoustic guitar (acoustic plutt lctro) is, other positions with no interest in my game
The noise suppressor is effective for trs overdrive / distortion, not a breath same high volume.
I never use the compressor or reverb (like that of my amp) but the MOD is beautiful.
I only use the pedals as expression pedals volume and wah pedals, both are good.
Scne on, I always use this mode mmory (Trs little white patches between changes).
I play with a Fender Start 40anniversary United States on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe all lamps, the sound is not dnatur idalie the combination is really the foot!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months, bought used from an individual for 160 euros, I'm really happy.
I tried other models, other brands, but the Boss ME-50 is the top for me, I also sold my other pedals turning on the APRS ME -50 in parallle with analog pedals, little or no diffrence with the original sound if you take the time to look good rglages, some are even better.
Conclusion: A good guitar amp + good + BOSS ME-50 = THE BEST SOUND!

Dja everything is said. The big advantage is that it behaves like one pedals, no amp simulator or pramp, it does not color your sound original.

UTILIZATION

Super simple and accessible trs.

SOUND QUALITY

I like a lot, there for all the gots and all styles.
I use a fender hot rod deluxe.

OVERALL OPINION

No more tap dancing, because qu'enclencher a distortion, a flanger and a delay at the same time I do not know how. I had some spare pedals in the studio and I could not find a very practical.
