Value For Money : Excellent
See more reviews for the specifications.
It has all the effects commonly used (compression, saturation, chorus, delay, wah, whammy, noise reduction, reverb ...) and a loop of 39s.
It can be used in "manual" or "memory".
The two small oversights to make it almost perfect tennis is a delay (in stereo) and an acoustic simulator (which were yet on the ME50).
The effects are digital (COSM).
Connectivity is basic: guitar input, auxiliary input, headphone output, amp outputs (left / right).
It is a fairly complete pedals and good quality (metal box and plastic pedals Boss typical).
There is unfortunately not supplied with power ...

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple and is based on the principle of individual pedals.
I use most often in "manual" mode: intuitive and by the peculiarity of this pedal over other (because of its configuration).
The "memory" mode is more convenient to repeat but the downside is that you have in mind the different settings (since the sliders indicate at all the current settings ...).
The loop memory is very convenient but has only three functions: registration and readers, adding overlay and stop. We can not stop and take a loop, but by playing on the expression pedal (volume coupled with the delay), it is possible to bypass the loop and back in his eSuite (for cons is not always easy to fall well on his feet ..). It is less useful in "memory" because you can not then change his registration from the loop and use during reading.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are good especially distos, modulations and delays.
The preamp is not very successful (for modeling amps anyway) and can not be used in manual mode (you can not pass a clean channel to channel saturation like on a real amp). I mostly use the mode "clean" coupled with a distortion.
The expression pedal works correctly but I have understood the interest or the proper use of imitation which made talk box is awful.
The sound through headphones is very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I watched from a small moement the ME50 to turn "pedal board" when the ME70 is out.
I was immediately captivated by its ease of use and possibilities.
Sounds obtained are very good and very varied, I find the prices very good value.
