UTILIZATION

Very simple: the ME-50 is a simulator pedals, so it is used as if you had several pedals in front of you. The settings are simple and immediate.

SOUND QUALITY

It's the Boss levels of overdrive and distos. Personal is the distos not my thing in pedals I use it with my tube amp.
For overdrive: the BD-2 is excellent!, Other are good.
The modulations are also possible and, in addition you can set the tempo by pressing the foot pedal more than 2 seconds after you hit the beat and now it's done!
The wha-wha is not great: I kept my Cry Baby that I use with it.
Section modif microphones and cash (up to the simulation of sound) is gadget, the compressor is average but the reverb is good.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a year and I am delighted.
What is important is to clearly say that this pedal is a pedal simulator, there is no preamp, no amp simulator itself and not of HP simulators (which was exactly what I wanted), we can not strictly be compared to other multi-effects pedal market.
With the ME-50 is like having Boss pedals, your amp is not distorted (I had the cruel experience of a digitech multi effects plugged into a Mesa disaster!) And then it sounds like the Boss.
I use it on stage during rehearsals and even in multi effects for electro and it works.
Finally, if you want to buy a good distortion, chorus and delay, only the price of these three pedals you pay the ME-50.
Default: the external power supply not included!
