BOSS ME-80 Guitar Multiple Effects - Phrase Looper Tutorial - Everything You Need To Know

[@rickybaby69]

Brilliant lesson. I’ve watched 50 demos for this ME80 and not one person showed the looper. Thank you

[@Marigada]

Absolutely amazing tutorial. Thank you for your incredible explanation, it is awesome how graphic you made it, and simple to understand

[@craigcampbell8595]

To stop start the looper you press the delay Pedal twice and quickly to stop playback. Then press once to restart it.

[@freshiematamis5139]

Can you control the volume of the loop with the pedal like the me70?

[@ScottHz]

No, you can't restart the loop - it's only add an overdub with one click, or stop and erase with two clicks. (maybe you meant 'restart' as in restart recording, to record a new phrase?)

[@stewiepid4385]

You are a GREAT Person for giving this answer! Now I can change it on the fly.

[@chriscox7631]

Thank you for this, very helpful. I didn't realize until now you could layer and stack multiple sounds on the loop, I assumed it was one at a time!

[@DavidLWhitehurst]

I visited here to learn how to use my ME-90 looper. And, from what I've found is that everyone that demonstrates these devices does so on a desk. I currently have mine on my desk. This is going to be very difficult in a live performance setting. I bought my device because I didn't want to have to purchase pedals and build a pedalboard myself. Now I realize that it still doesn't matter how I reproduce the collection of pedals, I still have to figure out all these knobs and buttons ahead of time. Thanks for the video, now I go figure out to do this in performance.

[@bubblerings]

Store new combinations in the Memory 'banks'. Ready to go on the fly..

[@bubblerings]

This pedal system will keep me busy for a long time, and make me play. 🤗😍🏁🍻🍻

[@bryannash53]

Got mine a few months ago and I'm still enjoying it like I got it yesterday.

[@JustJoeKing247]

I recently baught one of these. Thanks for the video. I will be trying this.

[@maxlove8894]

Absolute legend, seen your longer video for the entire board. Fantastic work

[@jr4233]

😂

[@weasaewe]

Extremely helpful. Very much appreciated. Fair play 🤟

[@ermiyasb1453]

Very helpful since BOSS manual doesn't give you much information about looper specifically

[@geezerguitar3850]

You're able to adjust the sensitivity of the stomp that is required to change from volume pedal to effects pedal. The instruction book explains.

[@bryantwalley]

I do not have this pedal, but I do have several 1 button loopers. Press one time on the down beat of the 1and recording starts. Next press down on the 1 and recording stops and playback starts. Press 1 time down on the 1 again to overdub. Next press down on the 1 and recording stops and playback starts. Any press and hold during playback will erase the previously recorded overdub. Quick double press at any time to stop. Any press and hold while stopped will reset the looper and prepare to start again. Try this out on this unit and see if it works. I am curious.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

No, none of that works with this looper, it only works exactly like I show it, strange but true🤷‍♂️

[@ruebenthomas716]

Great video mate ! Actually works for me, to stop the loops, double press .. I found that out reading the manual 😅😅

[@ScottHz]

The manual doesn't say there is any functionality to pressing and holding the loop button. 2. Press the [DELAY] pedal. Recording starts as soon as you press the [DELAY] pedal (the pedal’s indicator flashes rapidly). 3. Press the [DELAY] pedal again. Recording ends. As soon as recording stops, repeated playback of what’s been recorded starts, and the pedal’s indicator lights continuously ... 6. Press the [DELAY] pedal twice quickly to stop the playback. The unit returns to recording standby. MEMO • Press the [DELAY] pedal twice within the span of one second. • When playback ends, the recorded data is deleted.

[@cyruspiruz9422]

Thanks man

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

You're welcome!

[@Music_by_Hannah_Marie]

Hey! I hope someone can answer this, does it do multiple tracks as well?

[@faaizrasheed9600]

Great video. Can you please explain how to use the looper in memory mode?

[@HeyImTyyy]

It's basically the same exact thing in memory mode. Tap once to record, tap to layer, double tap to erase. The only reason he wants to be in manual mode is to have more variety of sounds on the fly when looping. Try changing to a different patch when looping, you might be able to do that but don't be surprised if it leaves the looping tool.

[@alanr1062]

Another excellent video Doug, I’ve spent most of the morning messing with Scaler 2. I was wondering what your impressions are? Keep up the good work brother 👍

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Scaler 2 looks awesome, I haven’t had a chance to check it out properly yet though, but I’m sure I will, are you liking it Alan?

[@alanr1062]

@@TheSoundTestRoom Yeah Scaler 2 is incredible and I'm only scratching the surface.

[@accentontheoff]

Unrelated question I know, but would massively appreciate a perspective. How does this unit fare when it comes to home recording, and what method do you use. I love it as a pedal and for cool features such as you have demonstrated here but also need something for high quality home recording. Hence the conflict.

[@coreyallan-audiovideo]

it has a usb-b out so can plug directly into your DAW without quality loss.

[@accentontheoff]

@@coreyallan-audiovideo Sounds good, thanks.

[@kirankumarbuddi7595]

Bro can you tell me how to record u r audio

[@bryantwalley]

Also Korg iPad apps on sale half off right now till July 11.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Now the the time my friend😊

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

So you can’t even undo a loop without erasing everything?

[@premmobileacc9217]

How many track looper is this? Is this single track or multitrack looper? Thanks mate

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

You can overdub as many times as you like.

[@premmobileacc9217]

@@TheSoundTestRoom Thanks for the reply anyways what I wanted to ask was is this device same as Boss RC300 where it has multiple tracks (Track 1, Track 2 and Track 3) and on each track you can have unlimited overdubs. Is it like that? Cos I saw couple of pedals on this and was just wondering. To be honest, I'm looking for a multiple track looper. Anyway thanks mate, cheers

[@davidlawrence9289]

very informative

[@Amit-jb8vt]

GT1 vs ME80?

[@CarloToht]

Creo que no hay forma de poder detener el LOOP y luego volver a reproducir este LOOP. Apenas toco 2 veces rápido el pedal, todo lo grabado se borra y no hay forma de recuperarlo :(

[@kentaccordionist]

Just downloaded and searched through the manual and there is no way to stop and start playback of the loop, or to save it. Maybe you could ask Roland if the would be so kind as to send you a boss RC505 mk2 to review, it’s absolutely the best looper on the market for synths. But at just under 500 pounds it sure ain’t cheap.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks for checking Stephen, I have no contacts at Roland, so that’s unlikely 😂🤣

[@kentaccordionist]

@@TheSoundTestRoom well it wouldn’t do any harm to drop Roland an email and introduce them to your channel. Anyway enjoy the rest of your day

[@ScottHz]

the manual says: 6. Press the [DELAY] pedal twice quickly to stop the playback. The unit returns to recording standby. MEMO • Press the [DELAY] pedal twice within the span of one second. • When playback ends, the recorded data is deleted.

[@3stig]

👍🏼😎

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks Cliff

[@LaMusicade4]

38 seconds?

[@JehanSaren]

hi sir,how to get synth sound on guitar using boss me 80?

[@bobbillnolan7644]

Everyone - please ensure that you record your knob movement, it’s vital 😂

[@mariopalumbo9898]

It's awful that you cannot replay the loop you created after stopping it. Makes this feature basically unusable for live performance. This is a huge downfall of this pedal. Too bad because every thing else is great!
