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.

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!

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

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

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?

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 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..

Hi Buddy - not wanting to lug my AXE III around - on the go which unit would you pick sound wise - Boss me-90 or the Nux Trident - thanks Leon

Amp models on the NUX are a little closer to what you'll find on the Axe, BOSS has a much bigger fx selection

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?
@LeonTodd
@LeonTodd Жыл бұрын
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

The ME50 was one of my forst ever multi fx units. I still have it. I switched to pedals when i wasnt happy with the od sounds. But it was early in my journey and i still didnt know good tone. I think i need to pull it out again

The OD sounds are probably the weakest fx on the pedal. I think the only one I use is called Natural. You have to press the variation button.

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!

@@LeonTodd ~ how did I not pick that. Again, apologies for the annoying guitar question! Seriously good review. 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. Often I think back to Drew Goddard’s tones on Themata - such ripping high gain with clarity and colour - boss floor processor! Anyways cheers & all the best!

Love Boss multi units! I have the GT10 and GT10B, both are excellent quality. My buddy just got a ME80 and it sounds great with the preamp off and the metal distortion cranked instead into an fx return. Also recorded the ME80 with a Joyo cab box and it sounded really good! Would Love to get this new ME90! 🔥🔥🔥

Do you need multiple cables to use the pedal to it's full? right now i only have input from the guitar, and output into my amp, but i cannot control reverb, delay or mod in manual mode. And the memoery mode is jsut confusing, so i'd really like to skip using that at this time. ;)

I used to have the grandaddy ME50 years ago. I'm definitely going to get one of these. It's exactly what I'm looking for. 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.
@alexhiggin
@alexhiggin Жыл бұрын
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.

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 👍
