BOSS ME-90 | Overview & Tones

[@LeonTodd]

Who else cut their teeth on a BOSS ME series unit? I did a 4CM video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3Ef3R4gbSBrsk

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Me.. Well, I have an ME 70 and still love it.. I couldn't click fast enough seeing this title! Wondering when they would come out with this..!!!

[@davidhendrox]

somehow ME series seem more user friendly than GTs to me.

[@LeonTodd]

@@hoosierdaddy2308 seems right up your alley bro!

[@redcomn]

I’m on the fence now on preordering it

[@andyjett]

Well, i always wanted myself ME-50 but occasionally got old semi-pro GT-5 which stands against modern units pretty well nowadays!

[@markjohnson1020]

I had the ME-80 and it was easily the best bang for your buck. Wound up then buying 2 GT1000’s! The ME series is a fantastic platform for any level player. I really enjoyed my ME-80.

[@batmandeltaforce]

Me too man, I play GTK now and I've tried everything. I am a huge tapper, and it just responds better than other stuff, meaning the feel is better:)

[@therealjackfisher]

And you gonna hate it unless you wanna tweak sounds instead of playing music. More is worse. I have years of experience. The more shit they put inside your pedal board unit the more fancy touch screen menus the less music you are going to play. Menus are shit, and it dont matter how smart they make them. Menus suck. Imagin going to have to go through menus during live gig to turn one fucking virtual knob when on ME-80 you just have those knobs and no bullshit screen. ME-90 + Tone-X and you have the best pedal board in the world. Need balanced out, then get two behringer ULTRA-DI or ULTRA-G at a low price and thats the unit of every serious guitarist. Simplicity instead of useless BS.

[@ChiselledK1990]

Around this time last year I purchased a used ME-80 for dirt cheap. Now Boss has released the ME-90, I’m definitely feeling the temptation to upgrade, haha.

[@GLENLYNAS]

The ME80 is still a great multi effects board though 😊

[@PoundMountain]

I upgraded from the 80 to the 90. Sweetwater told me today it’ll ship tomorrow. Pre-ordered when it was announced. Best multi-effect on the market in my opinion.

I wouldn’t bother

[@GLENLYNAS]

@@kierenmoore3236 totally agree with you. The ME80 offers you more than enough any guitarist would ever need

[@JeffHendricks]

This kind of blends the line between the GT series and the ME series. I like it!

[@LeonTodd]

Big time! Much more tactile than the GT

[@jameslugo]

Pulled out Closer To The Heart! One of my favorite songs of all time. Awesome video as always.

[@hanovergreen4091]

'O course he's gonna throw in some RUSH or Queensryche ;). Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@Rummy73]

I had the me 50 and 80. I dig what Boss is doing with the 90. These kind of units are very practical for playing live. Having the power to make instant changes at the turn of a knob is invaluable. No music director wants to wait for the guitarist to futz around to add in a sound.

[@peterharvin2775]

Nice. I didn't really expect to like the amp models all that much, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah pheasant surprise there

[@TheTactical6string]

after owning the ME-50, ME-70 and ME-80 this excites me. The later ones are the best straight into the front of the amp modelers ive played, this allows the use of a looper without issues. If you dont believe me, look at the sold listings for me-80's, they go for $220 and up and theyre only $275 new (299 map but there r always coupons)

[@TheBbtlegit]

I had the ME-80 and that thing was killer. I'm definitely getting one of these.

[@rachitbhengra4298]

This is a really great unit so much versatality in front of you, where these days you to go thru tons of menu. Ofcourse there's tone studio too for indepth tinkering. Just need a ME-90B now. Cheers.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

I had the ME 80 at one stage...was nice and easy...Boss revisiting the ME range is a suprise...but sort of cool for beginners in this sea of units in today's selection.they were always great into the front of any no name budget amp.

[@westernrider100]

and in the loop of a good amp!

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

​@@westernrider100That is the trick to getting the best sounds out of a Metal Zone, run it in the FX loop (I also keep the eq knobs all pretty much in the middle).

[@acarrado]

I remember ME-5 in stores when I started guitar. So many years and evolution of ME :)

[@Steven-u5w]

Thanks Leon. This is a huge mega game changer for me if I actually go for this BOSS ME90 my trustworthy line 6 pod XP has done me proud over the years and floorboard with this

[@27pugsly]

Everyone forgot about the ME 70 that was a beast as well ! I have this 90 definitely don’t regret it

[@Bob1Gee]

I for one am very pleased to see this being released. I’ve always been intrigued by the whole modeling thing. But as an older guitarist who cut his teeth on an amp with a pedalboard, the technology behind the other unit ie: Helix, Kemper, etc, always intimidated me, so I never got on board. I can get on board with this. Thanks Boss!!

[@rolandmengedoth2191]

I still have the old Boss ME70 and i love it😊

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Nice review as always.. I am in the camp of menu dive phobia (MDP) so this may be the option for me as I seem to have done a 360 and want to get back to a simpler life.👍🇦🇺

[@chrisgreenwood9654]

Great vid Leon, lots of joy on your face with the music part of the video! Love the pedal and your breakdown of it.

[@squirelova1815]

If we are to be very honest about "No Menu Diving" we must acknowledge that there might still be a little bit of dealing with adjusting global and other settings by using 'Menu' codes as far as a 'Menu' is concerned here but, for such a wonderfully thoughtful, versatile and sophisticated unit as this, that is to be expected. I guess with this it's more like just setting up your digital "G-Shock" wrist watch than prepping a jet. It of course also let's you tweak differing parameters via tactile knob controls AT THE SAME TIME with as many hands and even toes as you have available which, in fact, may actually be the SMARTER way of doing things for a reasonably sized effects chain such as this, no? I think so. Way to go Boss!

[@gregmag66]

Wow, watching you futz around brings back memories of me noodling with my Roland GP-8. The good old days

[@LeonTodd]

Love the GP8. I did a video with one a little while back

[@TheTactical6string]

at 349 this thing is a no-brainer... And nobody really appreciates a volume pedal until you have one too. I found the Wah as good or better than my Baby Cry.

[@andyjett]

Leon thanks for such great demo. Didn't even know that Boss released new ME! Ever thought of doin' demo of the old Zoom GFX-8 multi FX processor? LAYOUT OF Boss ME-90 really reminds me of GFX-8!

[@Dan.Chaytor]

Hi Leon. Great review. Just got an ME90 and would appreciate a deep dive session series from you on this unit. Take noobs like me from a zero to a hero 😏.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Great review sir. This pedal seemed to come out of nowhere. I'd not heard of it until today. Wow. Very impressed. This is a crowded field in this price range it seems. I guess this is probably something that anyone for the most part can afford and they are really pushing it and it's great for us guitar players. What a time to be alive as a guitar player! Great effects. Some of those mod effects almost sounded Eventide like. I was shocked at how good they sounded. One could really get crazy if you wanted.. Very cool.. Man, those pickups really cut and sound great. Not too bright and not too muddy. Just perfect.. I'm really impressed with that guitar the more I hear you play it. I still love all guitars, but that one seems to be so well rounded and able to do it all! Very cool sir.. Thanks again brother for enriching my life with all these greasy guitar tones and 80's sounds that kicked ass so much! Be well sir. Tim

[@LeonTodd]

Came out a few hours ago! BOSS are so solid

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

@@LeonTodd Concur.. They do great stuff and it's always consistently good!

[@JohnLloydDavis]

I used an ME-50 for about 10 years and it was a great multi - FX unit and reliable as anything you could hope for. Boss make great stuff (not a paid endorsement)

[@temorinkaari]

I remember i had a vox modelling amp that had a rotary setting, and i used to love it. Now, i realize i just loved that chorus effect of it. It's still cool

[@exworthy2]

thanks for the IR's -!,,! i've been loving the ME-90 personally gets such good tones even with the stock IR's which is nuts.

[@4GuitarTrance]

I have an ME-80 and it's a GREAT unit. I use a Fractal FM9 now and the ME-80 for backup. If something were to happen to my FM9 live (God forbid that happen live) I always have my ME-80 rig waiting for backup... and would be perfectly happy using it if necessary. The ME-90 apparently is the successor to the ME-80. Thanks for the demo, Mr. Todd!

[@kingfisher7960]

I love Boss. They make everything! This is like a GT100 in a knob version! Nice! This also has a USB editor if you want it.

[@chrishyde1216]

It's better than that. The GT100 uses the old COSM Amp technology whereas the ME90 uses AIRD like the GT1000.

[@SLASHMPI]

Your playing is amazing

[@Taylor___]

I want Ola Englund to try it... I just want to hear if it can do metal and shred lol! Cleans and crunch sounds are easy to acheive. 75 per cent of the effects here, you'd never use. You just clean, crunch, lead, boost, wah, delay, chorus, reverb, phaser, flange, and you'll be fine!

[@alexmbrenner]

Damn I had the ME-80 and loved it. Not sure why I sold it. Now you make me want to pick this up. Great demo!

[@Prossdog]

I sold mine because quite frankly, the amps and drives didn’t sound that great. But it was using 12 year old technology. I loved the layout and features. The 90 sounds amazing from what I can tell, has the same layout, and new features. I’m thinking I’m gonna end up with one of these.

[@JE-western-rider]

@@Prossdog Got an old ME-80 and it sounds much better when I plug it straight into my amp's effects loop.

[@kospandx]

It sounds like Boss has finally managed to figure out amp modelling now, which has always been their Achilles' heel in the past. This might actually be a contender for a simple and cheap travel rig!

[@LeonTodd]

It's nice and lightweight too so it's more than capable as a travel rig IMO

[@sandyturner1911]

I had the ME50, the ME70, and I have the ME80, now. This one looks like the way to go. Wow! They took the Effects loop out, and that ruined it, for me. Now I'm thinking this would help me pare things down to a reasonable amount of space. Keep my Strymon stuff, and my fuzz pedals, and run this stereo. Once again..Great Demo, Mr Todd!

Very nice!

@6:50 I love that clean sound.

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

Recently they were selling the boss ME-80 for like under $300! I actually bought one didn't really like the way it was sounding with my amps although the function ability was kick ass. Not sure about this one but it sure does sound good on your channel and another one that I watch. I think the ME series is more of a throwback to the '80s style multi-effect units. Great review great pedal. If it's a Boss product it's all good🎉

[@spamfriedmice4800]

The 80 was using COSM modeling, the 90 has been updated w/ AIRB modeling from the GT series so you might want to play around with the new unit I'd you get a chance.

[@booshting3520]

Hoping for an improvement on the high gain tones. That was the only real negative on the ME80

[@StuartBridson]

As nobody ever covers these things - how does the headphone out sound? Previous models of the ME have been pretty crappy.

[@ThisMichaelBrown]

Still use my ME-50! Ive recently paired it with a Tonex and a Blue Sky....KNOBS are fantastic.

[@theiranxican7412]

I'm real curious to know how well the "tune down" function tracks, if there's any latency, oscillation, warble, etc., and how it'd compare to say digitech whammy dt, L6 helix, Neural dsp, and all others that have that same sort of function. If this tracks like a champ, then I'm seriously considering selling my hx stomp/hx effects for one of these bad boys!

[@BobMarley-xy3bg]

Hi Leon! Great video!! & some absolutely STELLAR sounds you are getting out of that ME90, which i suspect has some to do with your IR LT7. Also dude, I just checked out some Ragdoll tunes & holy hell!! Im a FAN!!! Cheers!!

[@LeonTodd]

Means a lot to know you dig the tunes - cheers and enjoy!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Hey Brother.. Watching this again.. I'm still interested in the FM3, but I'm also looking at this because I have a 50 watt amp and this would be great in the effects loop.. It would still have all the preamps that the amp has, so I'm not missing anything, but it also has the effects and the cabs, etc.. I'd of course use your cab.. I like the idea of boss stuff.. I used to have a friend that I jammed with who had a ME50 and I remember the first time I heard it I thought the distortion he was using was killer! It sounded great.. We used to play like 40 minute jams of Black Sabbath War Pigs and stuff like that and trade lead licks back and forth.. It was so much fun! This thing is so easy to use and I don't go down the rabbit hole because I'm a nerd so bad from working in the IT world.. Just plug and play and twist some knobs and sound good.. I love all your video's and especially demo's because I can always go back to them and check out your settings, etc.. Very cool man.. Thanks brother! Be well and safe sir.. Tim

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah this is di

[@alanredversangel]

This is the first ME unit that could actually replace my pedalboard. So tempting. Not a lot of user patches though...Is there a master preamp on off? I tend to alternate amp/direct sounds a lot.

[@duncanmcneill7088]

I had a ME-5 back in the 90’s. I found the lack of resolution of some of the parameters to be frustrating.

[@algrundau9441]

To me the BEST layout, interface I have ever used was on the ZOOM G3 and G5 series...Sadly they kind of changed it for the ZOOM G3xn and G5xn series, and not for the better....I know a lot of people really liked the Boss Me--80 and Interface and layout were among the top compliments. The common refrain was, "modernise the sounds but keep the layout and interface basically the same."......I honestly think a slightly more sophisticated screen would not have killed them, but it is nice to see a Company like BOSS actually listen to their customer's and give them what they want. They did the same with the Katana.....Maybe other companies should pay attention?

[@sense90125]

I've had a GT-1000 for a few years and tend now, that I've a few decent patches, to leave it as-is. Building a good patch with the GTK always seemed like a bit of a struggle. This ME appears a lot easier to get something good sounding fairly quickly. As a user of both, how would you compare the two units? Pros, cons etc.?

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

@@MOAB-UT I haven't played the me90. Judging from the review, it sounds very similar and has many of the same amp models and effects. I would guess the GX100 is more tweakable. So it really depends on how much menu dividing you want to do.

Depending on your budget, both are great pedals. I am very impressed with the GX100

I need to know more about using an amp with ME-90.

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

Hi. Just purchased the unit. Great piece of kit. Very impressed so far But I 've got an odd thing going on. I plug it directly in my amp (all tube Gibson GA 8T clone, PtP, very high quality clean sound). Logically, I switch the input out on "Guitar amp".. The distortions, amp simulations and factory high gain stuff, sound like complete crap on this setting. Just as if I had chosen the "line out" setting.. Fizzy, harsh, hifi OD style massacre..All the horrible terrible sounds of a 90's transistor 100 bucks amp 🤯😂 If I switch to "line out", everything sounds quite good .. What's going on, am I missing something? I don't understand why the output setting reacts just the opposite way as it should? I gotta read the manual, but this is very akward. Otherwise this thing is quite stellar, delays, modulation, octavers, pitch shifter, Tera Echo.. Sound damn good But what about the output setting? Or is there some kind of setting I'm missing (IR thing settled out of factory that is making a mess on the output?) And I must add the output level is gigantic (this with the general output level at noon) I mean just over the top loud.. I've gotta put the volume of my amp much lower than normally. Or the the output volume of the ME90 at 9 o'clock to get unity volume with the amp.. Pretty sure something quirky is going here.. If someone could chime in..

[@LeonTodd]

Personally I'd go into the Boss Tone Studio and disable the preamps in this when running into a clean amp.

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

@@LeonTodd thanks very much I've read the manual since. When going in the global settings, there are 12 options for the output. Like : nbr 1 is a when plugging in a 2x12 Combo, nbr 2 is a plugging in a 1 x 12 combo.. Etc.. There are even option for plugging in the Katana, or a transistor amp (you can find all this in the parameter manual) I'm going to experiment the settings. For now, there is no doubt the "line out" setting switch of the output is clearly the one that sounds correct on a clean neutral tube amp. It's a bit strange but maybe I've found the answer with the parameter settings to explore The Univibe sounds glorious for a digital emulation, and the octave and pitch shifting algorithms track crazy good with my Stratocaster, even micro bends and playing tricks (hammer ons, slides, pull offs and all that stuff..) I find this unit very very good on the pure effects side (modulations, delays octaves and pitch stuff) , and I've had boutique crowded pedals boards.. With meticulous programming you can go where you want I've ordered a Nobels Odr1 Bc to put in the effects loop to bring some analog gain in the picture. The factory setting for the effects loop is set to ideally put a OD/Distortion pedal. There is a second setting for FX pedals. I've also found you can set the knobs to "catch" the change at the patch setting for smooth operation. Otherwise it'll instantly change the parameter where the knob is, which can be quite brutal..

[@LeonTodd]

@@rodolphep0nthus555 honestly those output settings have always seemed super dumb to me but BOSS do it on all their units. Just give me a unity gain or line level option and be done.

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

@@LeonTodd Yeah I tried the 12 outputs, some are plain horrid. The one that seems to suit a 1X12 combo amp is the second setting Nbr2. Just what it's meant to be obviously So there is no way to just have pure output without any cab stuff? Because, I've made a patch (really nice iteration of Gilmour's sound on Shine on you Crazy Diamond, damn close).. But the problem is all the factory patches are like if you would from 2 (my patch) to 10 (every other factory and user patchs).. It's just ridiculous

Hi Leon another great demo.I have a couple of questions, can it be plugged into a power amp and the cabs, also can you save pre-sets and control via a midi foot controller?

You can disable the cab modeling seperately from the amp modeling, so it'll be fine running into a power amp and guitar cab. You can save presets but i'm not sure about midi

Thanks for the great review Leon! I just got one of these and I've been slightly struggling to use it in 4CM with my amp. It works ok with my real amp's pre-amp but I find the ME-90 pre-amps only sound decent with switch on the back set to Line level and then only with one of the IR slots (which are empty!) selected. In theory, it should be set to 'gtr' level, with the cab sims off...but that sounds pretty bad. I also get a huge volume boost when I engage the Flanger and some other effects. It's confusing me! I'd be interested if you tried 4CM at all. Thanks!

As someone unsure of what to do with an old TC g system, and whether to embrace individual pedals again or continue a quest for a ‘do all’ floor processor, this is a great option.

My only question is - are the amps driven by modelling that is the same tech as the Katana? I was disappointed in the tone of the Katana models as far as the dynamic range it was able to put out when compared to a tube amp. I found katana sounded overly compressed and narrow. I'm mainly going to use it for effects so it's not a deal breaker.

I believe it uses what they call AIRD modelling, used in the GT-1000 and GX-100. If I recall correctly the katanas are based around the COSM models from the older GT-100.

[@TheBbtlegit]

I definitely did.

[@kevinmcguinness1113]

You ever try the SNEAKY AMPS on the Katana ? They're the amp models from the COSM engine and there are some pretty good base pre-amp tones there that might work better for you than the on-board ACOUSTIC, CLEAN, CRUNCH, LEAD, BROWN and their variations. They still need work, but I've found a few that work for me 👍

[@dommitt1]

With regard to the amp modelling, most of the settings seem to be overdriven or distortion 15:36 . Can I use them clean but then use the effects to drive or distort instead or just use clean?

Is the "T-Wah" really an autowah? is there an actual Autowah and or Envelope Filter?

[@kimmoparonen1737]

This is brilliant...you can turn knobs instead of "menus"...set reverb level 0-100...42% or maybe 51%....just more or less! Sounds good!😀

We wanna see what the stock impulses do.

And here I was thinking BOSS was done with the ME-series.....

Arigato, Leon!

[@jordanmartin324]

Aside from form factor, are the tones all equivalent to the GX/GT series for amps AND fx?

[@christopheranderson2158]

Nice!! For the price point and great sound, this thing is killer! A great practice or grab-and-Go unit that can easily be gigged. 🤘🤘

[@Boris_Chang]

are the line outs balanced?

[@RubenParolla]

Do this has the same audio interface quality to record, as the gx-100 and the gt-1000?

[@abheceshabemuskk3531]

I saw a pantera tribute band in 2001 using one of this I think. I was surprised. I guess the juggernaut was ideal for this aplicattion

[@abheceshabemuskk3531]

I thought it was from the 90's..there was one with very similar look. It looked and sounded like a retro review you usually do.

[@BenStewart-p9q]

Sorry, Accident ! dmonstration.! It sounds great, and was wondering if you could answer these few questions..!! Does it really take batteries? Does it have a loop,to bea able to iam over yourself playing? Does it have any metronome,or drum beats ? And What were you playing it through? Nice tone Bro !! Thankyou!!! ,Paying It Forward. If you're able to answer these questions for me....

[@LeonTodd]

Batteries and looper yes, drum loops no. I was playing this DI into a DAW
