UTILIZATION

- The Multi-effects pdalier the easiest to use
- Nothing to add

SOUND QUALITY

- We have the majority of effects in this pdalier BOSS!

- We finished quickly found his own sound and turn to the same saturation.
- Personally, I like the old Overdrive (OD-1, OD-2, Natural) and DS-1.
The saturation mtal (Loud, Metal, MT-2) sounded too artificial my taste.
The wah is good but not great (a is not the cry baby, but hey the ME-50 is less than 300 now!)

OVERALL OPINION

- I've had it for over a year and there is a concern, but one big concern:

THERE IS A SILENCE IN THE PASSAGE OF ANOTHER PRESET

-> We are only 3 in the group (bass drums), so I have to use the saturation of my amp (a will, it is good but good) for pieces that ncessitent a brief ITS CLAIR / SATURATION.

-> Hold well aware of this settings
-> If you do not care, dark, you have almost everything in one pdalier BOSS!
