MGR/Scotch « Boss ME-6 »
Published on 12/03/01 at 15:00When I first saw this black and blue pretty switch pad, I fell in love. Well actually I just liked it because I was in my, probably second week of playing with my band. It was a pawn shop, I'm telling you right now if you go into a pawn shop you would find something with music. So I went one day and it was for 45 bones, not bad eh!, but something was wrong with it, I didn't try it out at the pawn shop, I bought it. When I got home, i put in my plugs and setted up, and I turned it on, oh yeah I forgot, its not battery operated, it needs its power through a ac adaptor, boss only, (BRA). So i had that, but then I figured out that the input slot was broken. I didn't like that, so I brought it in tho Long and McCaude, and the tech guy fixed it. I was so happy that day, I went home and settep up everything, and once it turned on, I was in Heaven. I played tunes from The Beatles, to Led Zeppelin, to Nirvana and Deftones, I'm telling you can play anything on this. Theres a Compressor, Distortion, Equalizer, Noise Supressor, Delay, Flanger/Chorus, and Reverb on it, so you can make up some hardcore stuff. My band and I bring it to the studio were WE practice, all the time, it get us through alot of songs.
What I like about this unit is that its real easy to use, I have fun everytime I use. Theres times were I just pop in the mic and just put on alot of reverb, with delay, and makes some weird sounds, like a sound you can start before a song, if you're a songwriter? the buttons on it or the pads on it, thier real easy to hit, but sometimes if your drunk like my band and I, you'll probably miss it and still be in a effect sound when you're in the chorus. But that only happens to us.
What I don't like about this unit, is that you have to use an ac adaptor Boss BRA adaptor only. I mean I want to use batteries, I have this story, I thought it used batteries, so I got a screwdriver and I opened the bottom up to see if I can install batteries. It took long to open, becasue it was an old unit, but I got it open. Once it was open I seen that it took no batteries, so I went out to Long and McCuade and bought one of those adaptors, and I was on my way jammin'.
Well I never really constructed with this unit, I leave that to Long and McCaude to fix it for me. The quality is good, I mean when my band and I go to the studio, WE take a car, and its a pretty bummpy ride, and I hear stuff banging in the back. Sometimes WE get so drunk that sometimes it falls becasue were trying to fix the sound and one guy just flings it, I jump when I see it happen, but the little guys there all the time ready to jam with.
I say this unit is really good, if I had more money I would buy one with a wah wah, but this one will always be there becasue you can use it for your voice too.
