UTILIZATION

if you know use pedals ..... not be easier!
the manual is by no cons ... Boss is his reputation ... so for some function to look for a bit but in the end it remains anecdotal.
AC takes about 30 seconds to make a sound.

SOUND QUALITY

jOperation fairly preamps but the two things: they are drawn from the gt10 and cover a wide range of sounds, there is not "cocked wah" effect present ... unlike some preamp present on the gt10 .. after you like COSM or not
the knob is very reactive and will work .... definitely NOT like the original amp!
for short, the quality of the effects is good and totally satisfying!
reverbs are counted in number but only two are fully usable!
the chorus is OK as most other modulation effects, one might wish for more settings in depth but the key is to allow the AC and not spend his life "tweaker" ... Line6 is for that! ;-)
the wah is nice, above my expectations in fact, as I never expect anything of this wah on multi ...
the delay is good too, and offers a lot of opportunity (0-6 seconds, notes ... etc)

2 more:
It is this delay in the modulation section so it can be used when the looper (which is in part the delay) is active, saw boss =) ... the settings are a little smaller though.
It is possible to have chorus and flanger at the same time as there is a preset delay, chorus + delay in the game, so if we set the delay to 0 there are only small downside chorus ... all the same we can not change the settings of the chorus.
the distortion: very little in the end compared to other MFX ... 10 ... but all well and used without problems (I do not know where does the previous review), even at high volume it sounds good .
the 4-band semi-parametric eq: very very useful for adjusting the sound of some distos =) very good idea Boss as inclusion in the preamp section
the comp / fx part: I have not used any but the compressor is not bad, the simulation pickup works pretty well, the solo boost is useful .. the rest I do not use it.
I use it with a humbucker guitars, godin, lag, gibson in the return leg of a combo of a homemade 4x10 (EH 2 + 2V10)

OVERALL OPINION

it's been almost 15 years since I played and I have had dozens of multiFX whether the line6, vox, zoom, digitech, boss, tc electronic .. etc. ... the latest being the gt10 ... I specially'm not a fan of this small but boss ME70 is almost flawless in my opinion ...
you do not spend 6 months to settle a crappy sound that market and provides a place ... we play!
Boss grease is unadorned and above .... it works!
it is intended to be a multi play on an amp 90% of the time, which is set in minutes and can cover almost all situations, from funk to death metal!
sometimes sound a little digital ca (not as ca anyway) ... a little less gain, a little bit of eq and the problem is rule!

2 minus: jaurais prefer that have only a manual mode as to access a certain function must press two pedal at a time ... for example MOD + LED changes from manual to memory of the fashion ... suddenly not disable two effects at the same time!
no adapter ... boss gives us six batteries! ah ah! not very serious because jai already in one spot and does it work very well with but good anyway! why not add a few euros and provide live AC adapter ...

short, an excellent value for money and this report ME70 will certainly become a must for anyone looking for a simple and effective trick.
