BOSS ME-90 Demo and Walk through by Alex Hutchings

[@atanastsvetkov1530]

Alex is a legend! I remember him demonstrating the old GT-8. He is truly demoing all features so well. Top notch player too!

[@BOSSinfoglobal]

Arigato, Alex! World class, as always.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you so much guys. I’ve always loved the ME series and this a brilliant addition to the family. All the very best 👍🙏🎸

[@edsonguita6178]

Boss cadê os patech de Alex na me90 estou aguardando 😅

[@subashlwagun9168]

The best demonstration.. better than the company’s marketing itself

[@TheDilligan]

Best sounding ME-90 demo I've seen so far.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate 👍🙏🎸

[@the80386]

I know it's not proper but I press like on Alex's videos before watching it. Speaking of ME-90, it's a continuation of a great formula. In a market saturated with 'high-tech' touchscreen-based gadgets, the ME stands out as approachable and sensible. ME-90 is going to carry that on.

[@alanredversangel]

Freeze, shimmer and drop tune are worthy additions fair play. Theres usually a pedal or two i have to use with boss units but this seems to do it all.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Yes mate, some lovely Addison this pedal. And I feel I’m only just getting started.. first impressions are great. Thanks for watching 👍🙏🎸

[@kylesimbwa]

But freeze was already in the previous unit

[@alanredversangel]

@@kylesimbwa I don't really keep up with the ME units. This one has everything I have on my pedalboard now though so it's tempting.

[@robertclarkguitar]

​@@alanredversangelThe fact they added a line in for direct and no need for dummy plug in headphones out as the ME80 needs is killer. Seems they concentrated on what needed fixed or upgraded. The amps sound better. I'd say the Xamps they call which are boss amps sound better here than the amps they modeled. Plus IR support. It's legit. I'm just not sure they built this one as robust I'll need to see. Anyway I still love my me80.

[@kylesimbwa]

It IS tempting I think we agree there😂 the new amp algorithms and i.r support got me excited, with the reverb parameters were a bit more detailed though

[@patlesage1256]

Alex is soooo good !!! Each material he's testing I want to buy it right now !!!! With synth-guitar Alex is fabulous....just like with this great new ME-90.😊👍

[@LaMusicade4]

Nice, imho this is the best demo of the me 90 I’ve seen yet.

[@GuitarDhyana]

Thanks! Fantastic job. Very versatile player

[@JaredGunstonTV]

as always AMAZING playing Alex! That loop jam was insane. And more then enough "Alex-Feelin-It-Faces" to know you're having a good time! :)

[@gatherstudio5219]

Best tutorial I have seen on the ME90

[@jazzalmenasmusic]

You DO know I don't just want this, I NEED IT! It is way awesome! And more my style, not so GT-1000 but right up that alley!

[@digital-guitars-uk]

Great demo Alex. I had the ME80 several years ago and thought it was a great product for gigging as well as home use. Well done Boss. All my best wishes from the lake district. 😎😎🎶🎶👍👍

[@stefanemanuelsson2201]

Always inspiring, thank you man

[@RobinYee-xc9vf]

Solids built.great playing....so relaxing

[@drkoontz]

Great demo, this has been the best walk through of the BOSS ME-90 that I have seen yet!!!!!

[@louiezar]

Still one of my favorite players

[@rodelacedera2483]

Nice product review. Always entertaining and informative! Thanks Alex!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate. All the best 👍🙏🎸

[@robertiboy7315]

Great demo as always 👍🏻 , can’t wait for the jams from the patches 🎸

[@WHAT-bz6hp]

Great video review, thanks.

[@gejugfeguug5623]

this pedal sounds great, the added convenience plus the effects actually sound professional. I want one~!

[@matzer8846]

Everything look so easy with Alex ... Nice new BOSS take on the HI-multi-FX market ... just love these "direct access" approach

[@duncan.5228]

You helped me with the GT100, now it's the ME90. Great stuff Alex.

[@ArindamKar]

Amazing demo as always. I had ME-80, very welcome and useful addition of shimmer and drop tuning

[@Kevin-nr9lj]

Great new unit from Boss. Thanks Alex

[@mrskint55]

Nice to see you back Alex great demo well done mate

[@VIDS2013]

Sounds really good!

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Would love to see you do a video building several different hard rock tones.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL VIDEO... AS USUAL....

[@andre77coelho]

Hello Master! I'm always in awe of its musicality and playability. The drop tune system seems to me to be more accurate than the existing one on the GX100. Great product presentation. Cheers from Brazil.

[@kuniyoshichin5317]

Awesome demo and walk through. Thank you !

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

It was your demo of the ME-25 and GT-1 that sold me the last time around. Kinda working again because I am seriously considering getting this.

[@bobkabala8407]

my opinion is a cropped version of the gt-1000, but the effects with effects control are brought to the panel for the convenience of working on stage, the sound is the same, but the possibilities are slightly less than in the gt-1000

[@andersrandom]

Awesome review 🤘

[@DevRSVR]

That harmoniser sounds like very late Thin Lizzy sound. Pretty cool.

[@alvarochicaizaguitar]

Great review, nice to see the legendary music man again!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate… yeah was good to dust it off for this.. cheers for now 👍🙏🎸

[@dogsbodyish8403]

Really good, useful demo. I rather fancy getting one (though I shouldn't)!

[@cpamiseso]

Thanks Hutchings, this is really informative.

[@MercutioUK2006]

Many years ago I used to run an ME-5 with a Marshall JCM 900.......I don't have the 900 any more but I do have a couple of amps that this, with the 4-cable method, could blow my tiny mind. Very cool.

[@sdfswords]

This in front of a clean Blackface is about all you need, no masses of pedals to set up, and a clean hum free signal chain. Should be perfect with my PRS Sonzera. Killer demo, Alex, please dive deeper into this unit!

[@MonkeyDLuffy-cq2lo]

you know boss better than anyone else

[@mrskeptic9957]

Nice demonstration. Thank you :)

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate my pleasure. 👍🙏🎸

[@deniskalashnikov5331]

Thanks!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you so much brother 👍🎸🙏

[@JBass42]

Terror echo I just hear Holdsworth when you used the expression pedal, lovely!

[@nikolaivanov4019]

Great playing ! Thanks !

[@hellni79]

Had the boss gx-100. waaaay too options... I just want maybe a few amps and a bunch of standard pedals, to eventual add a couple of specific pedals. I kinda like the retro look too, no bullshit lights, looks coming out of a 90s cyber punk movie LOL. Straight to the point, I don't need 100 amps and Its great to actually have hands on parameter for effects. I'll probably wait for a second-hand unit, but this is gonna be very convenient.

[@rengamz]

That drop tuning convince me to buy this pedal ...

[@layneinchains848]

Outstanding olaying 👍

[@89ji76]

This has a handful of effects not found in the AIRD modelers so I’m really hoping those get added.

[@SanjoyDasGuitar]

Awesome musician with awesome machine 😊🙏

[@rogeriolima1602]

GREAT JOB,GREAT CHANNEL !!! BRAZIL HERE

[@hanovergreen4091]

Me: Hands Alex a stick with a nail, a string and a magnet Alex: Does usual Alex and sounds great. The fact this has A-I-R-D at $300 compared to my GT-1000 and both have foot controllers. I only use 2-4 sounds anyway so mebbe sell the GT-1000 and downsize to this.... Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@marvinrichmondtv]

Guitar Hero Sir Alex🤝🤘💪👊

[@elliotmcconnell5449]

I bought a gx 100 about 3 months ago. I think i would have gotten this instead if it was available. Same quality of sound but an easier and simpler way of getting there especially for someone newer to pedals like me. Probably will stick with gx 100 since it does what this can and more, but will probably recommend this to people getting into multi fx. The price of this unit for the AIRD sound is so good.

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

Not the same sound quality

[@hanovergreen4091]

@@BkBk-gy6vr I have a GT1K. How so? Really interested because thinking of downsizing to the 90 since it has A-I-R-D. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@rockr8840]

Keep your GX 100.. it sounds so good and can do more ....

[@illgottengains1314]

The gx is more expensive due to construction, touchscreen and extra hardware/software features. The sound quality is the same.

[@aapddd]

The og of youtube demo’s.

[@mikegeldert]

I'm so glad I bought the ME-90. Because it introduced me to YOU. You are the best guitarist I have ever watched and listed to. I am grateful to BOSS for them introducing me to YOU. You have inspired me more than any other of the great guitar player I know of. I'm just very sorry I had not come across you before. YOU are very awesome. And the ME-90 is also very awesome. Thank you so much for all your videos, I have watch as many of them as I can find, they are all very inspiring. You have re-ignited my guitar playing juices. I will never be able to play like you but you make me want to try.

[@JamesJLaRue]

Really interesting to hear the shimmer on your vid, since in another video the reverb section was shown as only room/hall/spring, but I see the shimmer isn't in the reverb block. With the new ME and GX-100 having arrived... I'm thinking it's time to start saving for a forthcoming GT-1000 successor that'll be along any day.

[@stratbluesman]

sounds great ! I thinking about getting one !

[@sandyturner1911]

Thanks for this. Most people don't show you the delays and modulation stuff. I also wanted to know what the drop tuning sounds like. Plus, I was curious if this version has a better Expression pedal. It looks like it does. As much as I'm trying to talk myself out of it, I will most likely be getting one. Just when I think I'm out! Boss is wearing me out. lol!

[@GianniAngelico]

Bellissimi effetti. Mi piace tanto questo multieffetto. Una volta avevo il Boss M5 che per quei tempi era ottimo, adesso l'M 90 e completo di tutto ciò che si può desiderare. 👍👏👏👏

[@digipeet2866]

the best review!.. thnxx❤

[@DylanYzewyn]

you are the best, Alex!

[@alienfretboy]

Awesome demo. To be fair Alex, you could plug into a Burrito and it would sound epic!!!

[@alexreis3615]

You are the best guitarist of today for me. Extreme quality in the choice of guitar timbres and effects. Keep that vibe going.

[@ljljlj1]

Incredible video. Incredible product. But the playing is so effortlessly good I’m never playing again 🤦‍♂️

[@jammergreg]

Nice! I hate big heavy pedalboards! Especially for us old disable guys.

[@kennytseguitar8574]

Good Vid and Nice shoes!!

[@AlamgirHossain-oj9gc]

whate a nice tone❤❤❤❤boss

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Good video.. I want to see and hear the amps that have the AIRD in them.. That's what interests me as well as the IR's.. Thanks so much Alex.. Appreciate it.. I have the me70 and love it, and being 62 this is a god send for people like me that don't want to become electronic engineers and program electronics, but would rather play and it sound good. I can't use an amp at most places I play, so a multi effects with good amps and effects is a must.. I may go to the GT Core if it has micro pitch, otherwise, it will be this.. Thanks. Tim

[@henryb160]

I notice Alex had the "Hand of God" patch on throughout! I wonder if that comes as standard', or does it kick in magically after ten thousand hours of practice is detected?

[@carstenhenschen3273]

good effect machine

[@Prossdog]

So some new features over the 80. Drop tune, shimmer, feedback, and a couple new drives; a Klon and a Rat. And a bunch of new amp models. Plus the effects loop and Bluetooth capability are nice features. My big question is have they updated the sound quality? I had the 80 and I loved the layout but the amps were mediocre at best and the drives sounded straight up crappy. The 90 sounds better on video but I wanna try one in person.

[@PTCrucial]

Great demo, great player, really nice multi effects unit. Most importantly, I noticed the ac booster (xotic effects) pedal in the ‘bucket of pedals’ at the start of the video. It’s the most important pedal I’ve ever bought. Also Alex, your playing with Steven Wilson was absolutely amazing. You are a world class player for sure.

[@jackheinemann1994]

Bought one today, I as going to buy an me80 a month or 2 ago but it never happened, then these got release, I would be one of the first to have these in Australia, they hit the shelves only a day or so ago.

[@AlekseyLadyginGuitarist]

Alex I `m crazy about your music and guitar technics! Why such amazing guitarist of the world don`t play with Satriani, Vai and another persons? I`m your fan!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you so much, I would absolutely love to play with Steve Vai and Joe Satch it would be an ultimate dream of mine. 🎸👍🙏

There's something about you reviewing a Boss product on the Music Man that brings me warm fuzzies.

Hey Alex my brother!!! When you get tired of the ME-90 please just chunk it in a box and send her here . I promise I will take great care of her! Lol 😆 🫵🏻you rock Mate cheers 🍻 Peace ✌🏻 Dana E💫

[@Pyriscent]

I really love the idea of this but the quality of the effects is really lacking for me to use this busking. THat being said, for a student or a new player this is a great way to get introduced to pedals.

[@johnnycouture2012]

Great demo does this have trails like the ME80?

[@jnh73]

Yes

[@francesco96930]

hello, I really like the timbre of the sounds you made. can you tell me what type of amp you put and the setting? both cleans and distortions? then the effects do it my way. thank you and congratulations, take care FRANCESCO

[@markerviedejesus]

Awesome video demonstration Alex thank you! BTW do you think we can edit the effects chain in the computer?

[@MikaelKonradsson]

I want to know this as well! Can you change the order of the reverbs and can have more than 1 reverb active at the same time?

[@darrenm5239]

Are these sounds right out of the box ?

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Pretty much, some minor tweaks here and there but all based on the presets. 👍🙏🎸

[@darrenm5239]

@@AlexHutchingsMusic ok cool. I just picked one up too. I'll see if it sounds ok thru my system

[@QuickSticks8771]

Can the tap tempo be used with all the delay modes or just the standard digital delay ??

[@JudgeFredd]

Nice not overpriced product

[@badtweed2087]

Great demo. Not digging the reverb quality though. Boss needs to revamp their reverb circuits.

[@SPECIALEpiphone]

Use Boss tone studio???

[@kaikuangyngwie3882]

I hope those knobs (pots) would be better than the previous MEs.... I've owned ME 70 and after some year, the gain knob turned down by itself every time i use it😅😅 and other problems like some pots are so sensitive that even i barely touch it, its value will increase or decrease fast

[@AfrazAhmad01]

Such a detailed review, thank you for putting this together! I had one question: does a recorded phrase loop carry over in memory mode if i change from preset 1 to 2 or 3, if all are configured to have a phrase looper?

[@Andrew_1990]

Can you play some backtracks from your phone to play along while using headphones ?
