NEW! BOSS ME-80 "DRIVE" Preamp. Direct recording demo.

[@thomasjeb23]

One thing ppl need to remember is that an electric guitar is hardly played in isolation in the real world. The tone is always how it sits in the mix.. it might sound awful in isolation but its how it sits in the mix that earns it that x factor. This video is a great example of this. Also a lot has to do with the fingers itself. Trust me guys... the bottleneck is hardly the instrument.. 9 times outta 10 its us.

[@RobbieKing]

I've been thinking very seriously about picking up an ME-80 for my single gig. I've wondered how it would sound direct to my QSC PA. I've read about using a dummy plug in the headphone out to activate the built in Sims. Did do the same for this recording? Great job on this demo btw, it's what I've been looking for ;)

[@jjzuc]

Jack's patches are in Boss Tone Studio. Just got my ME-80 and downloaded some of his patches. He's got good, real world patches!

[@jnh73]

Amazing how it sounds good solo,but spectacular when you mix it in with other instruments. Bravo, Jack and Boss!

[@isitu4me]

Peace and Greetings. Some people say good words and some people say bad words about these multi effects. But actually it all depends on the musician. Pretty much all effects are good if you can use them well. Thank you Jack! You are awesome.

[@4GuitarTrance]

Nice playing, Jack. Refreshing to hear REAL players and instructors this day and time. Keep playing, buddy!

[@jessereyna7408]

I really enjoy Jack playing these demos for us;great job Jack-keep rockin the tunes man.

[@Axel_Xirics_Music]

I own this pedal for a week now and i can say, this thing is the next best thing since sliced bread! Love it!

[@TheBerkayBUHLAR]

Came here for the demo but stayed for playing this guy is killing it

[@shamonoise]

such good playing!

[@jeremyacker7992]

Beautiful Playing! Good sound too! Nicely done! Going direct, these pedals sound great with some tweaking.

[@Unplugged704]

Great sounds and great playing! I just bought ME-25, reconsidering ME-80 now thanks to you! Lol

[@marcoa.cortezano5214]

i own ME-25 few years ago, now im selling it to get this new one ME-80 it sounds great :D but ME.25 its a very good pedal too, im happy with it :)

[@otaypanky2]

That was awesome Jack, 'loved it. So tasty in note choice and feel, just finger lickin' wonderful. And the tones you dialed on surprised this long time tube guy ~

[@joshuacoustics]

Just came across this and man that sounds amazing.

[@jbealsmusic]

Love your demos man. You make everything sound good!

[@shunjun348]

...เป็นเพราะหัวใจผมอ่อนไหวไปเอง ...หรือเดโมเพลงนี้ 1:41 ทำให้หัวใจอบอุ่นได้จริงๆ

[@jessereyna7408]

Hey guys this was a great demo of this new product;but if any one has this new unit;and has any more demos to share like this one;it would certainly be appreciated? Thanks-Good going Jack and guys from Boss-Roland Corp.

[@willnewsome6222]

Amazing Jack...BEAUTIFUL playing directly from the soul!!!

[@B1k33]

BEAUTIFUL solo man, just awesome

[@mjones53]

Jack, just unreal, pretty please share that patch :)

[@shankhashubhradatta3947]

mjones53 you can zoom and nearly see the configuration. Else try out downloading the patches from BTC JT001 is the patch. Or rather JT series.

[@우규하-x6i]

Very nice tone!! Good sound

[@austinmaupinlane]

is the pre-amp something you would only use for direct recording? would you just not mess with it at all during a live gig with an amp?

[@monjah6440]

Jack, Your Absolutely one of the Great Guitar Player in the World of all time...

[@HimiHendrix]

When that backing comes in........ oh la la

[@landon.cunningham]

I'm curious - did you record this usb direct? Did you use headphones to monitor? I only mention because I noticed you have the master volume cranked to max. I'm wondering if you actually ran the headphones out through a mixer for the cab sims and didn't monitor directly on the unit?

[@tjborekvideo]

I'm wondering the same thing but not holding my breath waiting for a response. He's has seven years to reply . . . . My band is close to adopting in-ear monitors, and I'm considering the ME-80 straight to PA for easier setup/teardown. Tones seem to hold their own in the hands of a good guitarist.

[@royvanrikken1843]

Is there any particular reason you adjust the EQ in the preamp section as well as in the EQ/FX2 section ?

[@tanakornpraditsuwan9631]

Beautiful Jack. 😮

[@TheBhannah]

love to hear you play

[@abeztywoonsun8110]

Demo start 1:43

[@blacktoothfox677]

Useful. Thanks for uploading!

[@Mainstreet2006]

Very nice Jack......great playing as always!! I love the Boss stuff..

[@guitarman7169]

I have this pedal. This guy is sick, one hell of a demo!

[@sboy1955]

Very nice playing and tones - and yes - the backing track 'kick in' was really cool. Your demonstration shows how sensitive the slightest adjustments can be too - which folks need to see. I'm a long time fan of the ME series multiFx stuff and have played live with the ME-70 via my tube amps for years - the sounds are so close to analog that all my old pedals have gradually found new homes. However, my ME-70 is not nearly as pristine for direct recording as the ME-80 sample I'm hearing in this video - or at least not mine. I have long suspected (???) that my unit has an issue with the "headphone/recording out" section because even with headphones it sounds like crap too - but sounds total right into any of my amps so I've never really been all that concerned. Thanks for the demo!

[@Axel_Xirics_Music]

Try using the USB out with the ME-80 drivers from Boss's website installed on whatever PC or MAC you're using. Then just set the input in your DAW on the ME-80 and you're good to go. Cheers!

[@derekk.1750]

Hey!, Do you have any tips as of how should i clean off the inside of this unit? Is it nasty to open it up? Im jot good with electronics and i don't wanna mess anything up but I think my unit has started to make a bit if extra noise even worh the cleanest tones and stuff so I wanna clean the dust trapped inside, thanks in advance.

[@ESP12345]

Wait, so because it's direct recording is that why it sounds so good??. I only have the BOSS me 80, amp and guitar but does not sounds like yours

[@robson6491]

Hi, isit possible to get the backing track to this piece? Could you send it to me? The link from Roland does not work. Thanks. Robert

[@-Marc2044-]

Hey Jack.Thanks for the great patches for the me 80!I mostly use your tones :)

[@jgeth999]

Vaping Marc can u send me the site where i can download it? Pls thanks mate

[@jasherarcega2655]

i just want to ask what is your settings in your real amp if you have a pre amp? thanks

[@adamrafferty]

Great playing man!!!!!!

[@Widdy5150]

A Tone Andy Timmons would be proud of!! Great job!

[@gjm1971]

The best demo so far !!!

[@Alex_Khouri]

PLEASE MAKE A BASS VERSION!!!! I will buy it the DAY it comes out!!

[@ChadBoston]

Daaaaaahhhaaayyaaammmmmmmm!!! Nice tone and playing very tasteful!!!!!

[@patrickbateman7894]

Absolutely... I liked and subbed immediately. very great playing

[@godizwidme]

Namaste marcelo bachhi u are right....jack hats off performance

[@diegoximenes8011]

WHAT A COOL SOUND OF THIS PEDAL

[@angeleduardodigiandomenico841]

i de COSM DRIVE AMP in my ME-80, is the only amp i use. But i cannot reproduce that sound in my GT-100. i cannot find the same grain, the same low end, the same mids. Any clue?, any help?

[@FabrizioPeretti]

what guitar is that?? it's not a mod 510v right??? the bridge is different... but as i can listen the p-rail sounds killer! thanks jack!!! ;)

[@AveryGuitar]

I'll be recording electric violin. Do I need any sort of acoustic treatment with these? From what I can tell, i just connect my violin to this, plug it into my computer with a DAW, and record. Is that really it??

[@fphilip01]

Nice demo! What kind of Fender is that and pickups? I'm using a Fender Bullet Strat and I'm looking to change pickups. Your model sounds great.

[@FADHZILAHMAD]

I don,t think so he used fender guitar. I think it is Yamaha Pacifica with jack Tammarat signature.

[@jacqueshaddoc1977]

Hello Jack! What sound the best GT100 or this new ME 80 ?

[@tjborekvideo]

I could be wrong, but I believe at the software level, they use the same COSM engine creating the tones.

[@jessereyna7408]

i thick it's a yamaha pacifica model unknown to me;they have several models;but this one unavailable in the states i think? Take care.

[@jessereyna7408]

Someone needs to make a demo with some Stryper tones;that would be great?! Thanks.

[@amielianomar1479]

Nice demo very satisfying thanks

[@dominicdesouza487]

How do did you record the video for this and sync it with the audio recording from the boss?

[@yorkiel7446]

rob chapmam would love this/the intro!

[@rahulsaha1039]

Superb Melody!!!

[@marcialperal7155]

May I know whats the name of your pick up is so warm.

[@garydupuis]

I dig the tone...very nice

[@ryker6richard]

Exelant demo,,,, very nice playen too

[@obiwankenobi9658]

อ.แจ๊ค ก็เล่นได้ซะเคลิ้มเลย คนอะไรสุดยอดจริง

[@narrgaming]

Hey, can you tell me what song are you using?

[@PrantikNath]

how will it sound with boss katana mini? 7 watt amp

[@mrholmesly]

Ridiculously good sound! :D

[@eclecticcollected8570]

Awesome. What software did you use to record this?

[@bmguitarra5982]

QUE SOM MARAVILHOSO, FILING Q TOP.

[@tophe95]

Sound pretty good!! I wonder how this ME80 sound in a power amp like EHX 44 magnum...

[@joecala2301]

you can really play,my friend...

[@CandleKing10]

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get some good quality sound (its like the guitar keeps "screaming" at me) any tips how to get rid of it or even tips on setting up effects in general?

[@CandleKing10]

(or if this thing isn't rlly meant for recording and if i should get something else)

[@jessereyna7408]

Where is the screaming coming from? Is it coming from the speaker cab? If it's coming through the cab;you have to single out the source first. Was it doing it before you plugged in the unit? And you followed the connectivity instructions correctly? Not trying to insult ya in any way. But this can cause some really weird things to come out of your speaker cab? If you are 100 percent sure that you have it connected right;then we can only assume just a couple of more things. Gain is turned up too high somewhere in the signal chain. And the pick-ups are quality pick-ups right? If you checked off all these things and you are still getting the sound. either something is bad in the unit itself;or you are using too much gain into your set-up;and you need a noise reduction unit. Is your amp a solid state amp;or all valve amp? Just wondering about that? Thanks.

[@jessereyna7408]

watch some other pros set-up this unit;that too could help you out in singling out your issue,,,Like Glenn Dulanne i think is how he spells his name? That guy is good man at figuring these things out. Take care.

[@joshmist866]

How come yours sounds so great and clean without any noise when mine doesn't? :/ is it the NS settings? Is it just my guitar?

[@mohakmehra1101]

its jack thammarat's skills bro :)

[@joshmist866]

+Steve Berg lol that's true. But I'm talking about the feedback and noises when I plug mine to my laptop. It sounds great when plugged to my amp though.

[@taterlysaladman9377]

I get massive noise when plugged into the usb to computer too. Even with humbucker guitar.

[@musaddiqurrahman1949]

Plug something in the headphone port, you'll notice the tonal difference as it turns on the built-in speaker simulation.

[@eggnogs]

bit late in the party but its to do with the way he records it. He uses Palmer Speaker Simulator which makes all the difference

[@KokoStarezta]

nice and creative demo..

[@ErnestJoshua98]

and someone give the jam track link please. i think the link is not available in our country

[@ชริชโสมรักษ์-ฃ7ท]

you can search " HR ballad in C" on youtube.

[@onevoiceinc]

Sweet! I've been looking into getting one of these and your name popped up while looking for more sound examples (and you're using one in a video). Win. That particular tone and tones like it are what I'll be trying to create, so... Cool video.

[@veldhuizenhenk]

you are one amazing guitar player!

[@jessereyna7408]

Awesome sound..we need more songs with a little more grit in distortion. Thanks for the demo.

[@VictorinoMillacahuin]

Seymour Duncan Vintage Hot Stack Plus STK-S7 in the neck?

[@mobinshah1]

[@jessereyna7408]

[@FrazerNairnSmith]

[@guitargod5027]

อ.ครับใช้ cab sim จากไหนครับ

[@marciomafra3209]

Whats pickup setup you até using?

[@wilsonreeds]

Is it one of your originals ? Would love it if its one

[@IRONMIRKO89]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh beautiful sound i love it :p

[@pablo79muller]

Hi, i have a question, i bought the me 80, but i have an squire, and i would like to buy other guitar. i dont know which one you can recomend between, fender jaguar, or epiphone or Telecaster Thinline? what do you think?, which one would be better? thank u! and, how can i play with track and record it?

[@evangoldenberg9910]

Hello for my second guitar after my squire I bought telecaster it was such an easy change and I still have it use it and love it till this day. Good Luck:)

[@pablo79muller]

How can I record with the pedal bases and include drums and bass? I dont find in the program of the pedal, the files that I recorded! To fix with back tracks

[@booshting3520]

It depends what you want to play, and there is no answer other than yours that matters. Personally i try to buy additional guitars based on pickup configurations. A Strat gives you nice single coil pickups, i then went for a Les Paul for the fatter humbucker tones. I then bought a Brian May signature Red Special for the Burns Tri Sonic pickups and fancy in\out of phase options. Really its all about the sounds you want, it's personal to you. Look at your favourite players, see what they use to get the sounds you like.

[@lordbean6917]

Pablo Muller Get something that isn't single coils. It'll give you more variety between your sounds.

[@pablo79muller]

Thanks boys

[@vaiserious]

very well played!

[@shayan2449]

Please share the tabs , I really love this one

[@mrtn2842]

Years ago I didn’t trust these pedalboards, I may have to get 1 now.

[@유비-l9o]

whats music name?

[@PalpitoMcCray]

USB direct or interface?

[@djdeep6545]

Nice music man do you have a web site?

[@neebirhaque]

Can you give me the parameters of the tone???

[@Myszuun]

1:40 Is it real song? Anyone knows the title of this song?

[@johanndaart7326]

Darude Sandstorm

[@Winterschant]

he improvised it i'm guessing

[@johanndaart7326]

Winterschant Nah, it's Darude.

[@Winterschant]

Johann Daart o sorry, i must have mistaken it for sandstorm

[@n0166]

Sounds a bit like the backing for the no woman no cry solo with a touch of original magic

[@mattg5461]

Can anyone help me out? When I record directly from the pedal the sound is completely different to how it sounds through my amp. I tried it with all the amp effects set completely neutral, no EQ, no extra gain, nothing and it still sounds completely different when I record

[@DrDougRoss]

It seems normal to me: Any amp ads character to the sound. Also the Speaker Simulator is off perhaps? Its only on when the phones are connected but applies also to the Line Outs. Hope that helps.

[@mattg5461]

I record using the amp output, should I switch to one of the other outputs?

[@frantisca]

Wow: what a feeling !! \m/

[@shreyaskudari1470]

anyone got a working link for that backing track?

[@landhomer4627]

How do you setup this one
