    Boss ME-80 Multi-Effects Pedal

    • I have no trouble getting the tone I need in little time
    • The tones are great and the user friendly interface make this a good alternative to those who have some money but can't afford the GT 100.
    • Fantastic tone.
    • But the tone and dynamics improve markedly when you use an old 1/8 male headphone plug on the headphone input which turns the cab simulator on for all outputs
    • However it's very important to keep the manual because if you forget how to save a tone then that sucks and all the other stuff is easily explained In it
    • In about 5 minutes of adjusting I found the clean tone and the distortion that I have been looking for all these years
    • Run a $60 RAT pedal in front of a clean Fender Twin and you can dial in a respectable crunch tone in less than a minute
    • In Manual mode, you can program each pedal separately using the knobs (like you would on a discrete pedalboard) and make the perfect tone with ease
    • Distortion/OverdrivePerhaps the weakest block, and the only one I spend time trying to dial in a decent tone
