«  Versatility and quality ... but digital! »

There is a multitude of effects available, ranging from the simulating amps EQ, compression, distortion, fuzz and other modeling and delays ... Just look at a picture of the beast to see all available effects!

Well of course it is digital, which obviously has consequences, but given the versatility nothing serious. And then you really have driven to realize ear!

All plugs jack. Possibility of a stereo output jack for two outputs.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is very simple! Turning two or three buttons, one can find the sound you seek without wasting time. To be honest, I have had to consult the manual to learn how to memorize the sounds that I created, but it is so easy that I do not know where I put the manual so even know the beast is easy to use . However, in my memory, the manual was very comprehensive and detailed.

SOUND QUALITY

To judge the quality of the effects, a single word: it is the BOSS.

Not only was there a lot of effects on offer, but also they are all of good quality (at least in the ear of a beginner or an uninformed listener). This is a pedal that I find very generous for the price (even new!) Because it opens up a whole world of possibilities. I use it for three years now (if not more!) And I consider under any circumstances to part with.

Certainly it is digital, so those who have the habit of his "lamp" will necessarily be disappointed with the amp simulations. I myself no longer used for a long time. But other effects are very usable and in all styles of music you can imagine or create.

I'm already used to play covers with my band and it is a very useful tool because it is easy to create the sound you search and memorize it.

I am a follower of the Big Muff, I must say that the fuzz effect does not suit me at all, but this is personal!

OVERALL OPINION

As I said, I use it now for about 3 years and it is a pedal that has never disappointed me. Before I had a small effect in multi Zoom, but frankly it does not face the weight BOSS ME70.

Pros: quality effects, ease of use, ergonomics, expression pedal ...
The -: amp simulations too "synthetic".

Frankly, for a price not so excessive that it saw everything the beast in the belly, it really worth it, especially if you like the sound without having to grind 47 foot pedals!

With experience, I would do without hesitation that choice, it's so convenient!
