    Boss ME-80 Multi-Effects Pedal

    • so get some nice spacey sound going, play a chord, freeze it, remove mod, add OD and solo over the top of yourself...get bored, roll off the pedal & play another chord/note and repeat..8
    • BUT this pedal is the thinnest, most unnatural, plated sound I've ever heard
    • Incredible number of features and that great Boss Sound.
    • Given a better sound, this would be a dream
    • Adding an analog compressor and drive pedal improved the overall sound immensely - of course, that adds to the price, so to speak -All in all it will be best used as an additional effect unit for an existing rig or best used for clean sounds by itself - add an analog compressor and/or drive if you really want those to sound good - you will have to live with the compromises about the EQ and reverb - keeping all of that in mind, this can be useful for smaller gigs and/or practice.
    • Not wasteful junk sounds that you'll never use like the options on your line 6 stuff, but actual useful sounds.

    • The sound is great.
    • The sounds had very little to no dynamics, dry and one dimensional
    • I'm a Mesa Boogie tube amp player and I realize there is a need for solid state sounds IE; full on metal etc
    • USB in to your favorite audio software I.e. garageband, logic...etc (check the prices on M audio boxes), intuitive, easy to use, great sounds, sturdy and well designed
    • But it has bad sound
    • Incredible number of features and that great Boss Sound.
