MGR/Jacob Magdziarz « Boss ME-50 »
Published on 12/20/03 at 15:00I got my wonderful BOSS ME-50 at one of the local store where I live. I was looking for that all wonderful effects proccessor that could do everything (for around 200 bucks). This thing only cost me $220, and to tell you the truth it was the the best $220 I've ever spent.
What do I like about this unit, what don't I! This thing is awesome! You can do almost anything with this, whether you're playing heavy metal rock or blues, it dosn't matter, you can do it. I was looking for a unit that did just about anything, and this puppy does everything but wash the dishes. The tone is absoluetly awesome (as with all BOSS products). But my favorite thing about it is ease of use. On most unit you have to scroll thru all those menus and by the time you get the sound you're looking for, you've forgotten what you were gonna play! But on this unit everything has an independant control knob. If you wanna change something, you just reach down and and turn the nob. It's as easier than turning on a washing machine (which can be difficult at some times ;0) but this is so simple to use compared to any other proccessor I've heard of. It's just like having single pedals(except to get as many pedal effects as this offers you would cost about $2000). It has three pedals, one for distortion (there are 11 differnt types), one for delay, and one for Flanger, Phaser, Chorus, Tremolo, Harmonist, and a bunch of other things. It also has a built in tuner and an expression pedal that has Wah, Voice, +1 octave, -1 octave, and a few other thngs. It's made of metal so it is extermely durrable, and it has an awesome warranty.
Um.....Uh....Well, It's blue, which isn't my favorite color. But other than that I sincerely cannot think of anything bad.
The unit is made of metal metal so it is very durrable, and it has a cool sprkley looking paint on it. The tone and sound quality are AWESOME. It doesn't get any better than this. It has this cool thing called COSM (which I have absolutely no idea what that stands for) which actually like, figures out which note it thinks your your going to play before you play it, so the sound quality is even better.
Bottom line, this is the best investment I have ever made. If your looking to find the best effect you can without bein' broke for 6 months (well, a year for me, darn McDonalds) then this is the one for you. Buy it, and you'll have no regrets.
