TBeary « A multi-effects like no other »
Published on 08/03/10 at 09:13All effects are usable now, digital of course. Note the presence of a preamp section, which allows to connect more or less happy directly into a cab, a microphone jack at the rear handy to work with headphones and enjoy the sound quality of some effects.
The originality of the ME 70 is the fact that this is not a gas plant with lots of small buttons or you have to edit the sounds in menus digital dubious taste: is like a string of 4 stomboxes, an expression pedal and a preamp section that is assigned the desired effect: everything is settled through the knobs!
I put 9 for the excellent idea of the configuration of this pedal, even though we may regret the absence of reverb or distos more numerous (but we should be picky).
UTILIZATION
The manual is useless and very unclear when the usefulness of each knob, it's fiddling that forged his sound.
The use is so simplified by using these knobs, which can tweak its sound live without spending 10 minutes to edit a preset. We choose the distortion you want, modulation, we hold a small delay and hop is in the pocket. Ease of use not found on any other multi-purpose.
I also use it very often with headphones, plugging directly above me with my guitar, and upgrade its effects make some much better than my amp.
SOUND QUALITY
Ah, here or down there hurts ... or no addition. It depends.
Well I play it with an Epiphone Les Paul Studio and a Fender Standard Stratocaster.
Section COMP: It does its job, the compressor is quite safe despite the presence of a slight hiss on Start, 2 3 tricks a bit unnecessary but overall.
Section OD / DS: Not bad for Overdrives, the sound is natural enough, but when you go type in distos Metal / Hard Rock, the sound is too synthetic, it makes a kind of porridge when we play on the thick rope, a brief mention. The fuzz is not bad, however in some modern style.
MODULATION section: Very successful, the chorus sounds of the fire god, also 2 with 3 tips not very useful but it's been a good job. Hat.
Section DELAY: The strong point is THE multi purpose! The section is ultra provided with all types of delay, which is rendering quite beautiful, I really found nothing wrong.
PEDAL FX section: The wah wah and the whammy, the only 2 I use the effects, have not really convaicus.
REVERB section: Not bad, there are only 2 but they are widely usable.
PREAMP section: Ouch! I really understand what Boss has sought to make. Besides the simulation of the Rectifier and Fender clean, none are usable! Simus the Marshall and Vox are sick! Major weakness of the pedals.
In the end I put 6 because despite great successes, some sounds distos, expression pedal and preamp section in general are not level.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 1 year.
I tried the Vox Tonelab too complicated.
I love this multi-purpose as it adjusts its effects as a Stompbox and is much more convenient.
I almost never use the multi distos effect, so for the fact that I use, I am very happy!
The value for money is not bad, but we can do better.
I would do this choice because I was focused on the effects I needed and I was not planning on distos MOE 70. If I had had to use the multi-effects to shape my sound, so I probably would not make that choice.
