The ME-70 ups the ante on the ME-50 in a number of ways: adding a separate Preamp section, featuring Roland’s terrific sounding COSM amp modeling, four extra presets and one more footswitch—for a total of four. I still continue to use it for practise and the odd recording and I have to say BOSS deserve a pat on the back for their continued reliability. You can also attach an external pedal to a jack on the back of the ME-70 to scroll through banks in Memory mode. Since this unit is really digital with analog knobs, often the control positions don't match what is actually being played. This way you can have two different delay times, that can be engaged one at a time or together, instantly available at the touch of a toe.

I found that setting the overdrive section to Natural with the Drive around noon was like adding a second channel to the single channel Reverend and Orange amps. In the default Manual Mode, the four footswitches correspond to four effects modules: compression/FX, overdrive/ distortion, modulation and delay.would definitely recommend to any one who is looking for something to play around with too, a lot of things i am yet to figure out! At one point they were trying to sync the roland chorus-echo to time with the bridge of their song and got frustrated and told me it would be easier to do it with their boss units. kHz processing, the ME-70 gives nothing away to the GT-8, or even the GT-10 in tonal quality, and its metal chassis sits firmly in the Boss tradition of indestructibility. It is for the guitarist who wants the basic Boss effects and COSM amp sounds to be available in an affordable, portable, simple-to-operate unit.

Each of these models can be equalized using the control knobs, of you can use no model and use the equalizer only. However, it has been used in my (now disbanded) band, for recording, for home practise, for trying effects out before purchase etc etc. I’m pretty sure it’s slightly later than the ME-5 though - which also incorporates analogue pedal circuits, just with digital control. I have a Boss ME-70 Multi-effects box, which does variations on Compression, Distortion, Modulation, Echo, Pedal and Preamp modeling. My BOSS ME70 is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and I thought I'd like to state what a great Guitar partner its been.I assume the programmability was limited to which combinations of 'pedals' were on at once - since the controls look like pure analogue ones - but that could still be very useful. If you are perfectly content with the sound of your own amp, you can either avail yourself of the section’s EQ setting, which provides Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid and High adjustment, or Off, which bypasses the section altogether. In addition, we have a library of Owner’s Manuals and Support Documents that you can download and reference. The Phrase Looper is one of the delay effects, and offers up to 38 seconds of loop sampling with as many layers of overdubbing as you want.

We do try to give a broad indication of the general condition in the description, but this is just a guide. So splitting the amp simulations from the distortion types actually allows much greater control over your sound. This is a 2nd hand item and may not come with all originally included items and original accessories or software. Just used this pedal for the first time at a gig, it beats carrying around a heavy case full of individual pedals, and has a lot of great new features that i didnt have before, even with a delay, chorus, distortion and reverb pedal, i wont be looking back.

But sometimes you just have to stand down on your personal tastes and admit when something just works incredibly well. I think the initial clunk to get the pedal working (activate) is heavy and requires sometimes 2 thumps to bring it to life, that said when you get over this minor hurdle (I have a weak leg from a motorcycle accident) it performs admirably. So you can be playing along with your typical delay setting, and do some special delay effect by pressing and holding the pedal. So I get through my last 3 pedals, having discovered boss make great pedals I start my boss journey with an ME50.
