NEW Boss ME-90B - How Does it Sound in a Real Band?

[@chrisg1577]

Nice to see the Bass folks back!

[@AllanGildea]

Sounds great, always cheerful fun hanging with you all.

[@rachaeltownend6872]

It would be great to see a back to back with the ME-50B as that’s been lurking on our pedalboards since 2009

[@theprezenz]

Good idea but since the Me50b is out of production you could suggest the GT1b instead

[@rachaeltownend6872]

@@theprezenz or dig one up from a friend on a ‘Should you upgrade’ premise. That was what I was thinking. I’ve got a 50, do I really need to spend £400 right now on a 90 or is it just bluer?😋

[@theprezenz]

@@rachaeltownend6872 depends on what you need. Atm it's sounds and looks very good for €400. My only concern is the octaver and the synths

[@rachaeltownend6872]

@@theprezenz I have the 50 and as much as I love it, I’ve never been a fan of the synth and drive being on the same ‘circuit’. Also switching banks on the fly is fiddly. I really want the new 90, but I also want to be sure it’s really worth it. Nobody has £400 to throw around right now do they

[@latenight5865]

If you are okay with creating your pedalboard using only Boss effects, which is actually fine, the Boss ME-90B would be the best choice as it is the simplest and most affordable solution.

[@shadowhenge7118]

I have both. Used to have a large collection of pedals but i just dont have the room for it anymore. The ME's just work and sound fine.

[@mymodel6]

The tuning of the bass and guitar in the intro are on different planets guys...

[@rhoadshendrixpage]

Thank you. Thought I was going crazy

[@timnotbrianmay]

You're not on different planets, they're just in different songs 😸!!!

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

It's paaaaiiiiinful

[@ljmiller96]

I love all your band jams on Anderton's!

[@kurtohnehelm6589]

Nice intro jam! Was wondering if you'd review this pedal. Really love the bass videos. Cici and Lee are a great combo as they cover pretty much every genre possible with their playing.

[@wren23_bass-synths]

I have the GT-1B and was going to a Line 6 Stomp HX, but now I'm seriously considering this unit. Sounds great with hands on control is a plus.

[@theprezenz]

Me too. Have tested the Stomp XL. Perhaps the quality of the fx are better but it's too expensive. And the normal stomp just lack buttons. The 90b might be a good sollution, perhaps combined with a nice octaver or a HX one.

[@theprezenz]

​@WorbyBassI don't think gx100 and Gt-1000 are getting updated. Man, the GT-1000 is already 5 years old. Line 6 however does more updates frequently but also the small stomp is 6 years old. Though choices these days 🤔

[@joannalewis5279]

Knocks my Boss GT-1B into the dust but I don't need to update

[@ubermenschstream6765]

Get the hx. You'll regret getting me90b.

[@stagnance]

Nice tone on the chorus for the little Rotten Apple lick Cici played 😊

[@gavinocoileain5725]

So nice to see Cici back! Any chance of seeing Dave back too? Love the vids keep much love

[@andrewpinner3181]

Thanks Lee & Cici, great review & great unit ! I know it's probably not practicable to cover every sound, but I'd like to have heard the compression unit (perhaps combined with EQ) to catch some slap & finger funk ...

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Best vid in a month. 4 stars. They are happy bass ferrets with new toy. 🎉

[@MtoTheBtoThe70s]

I thoroughly enjoy these vids! And what a pedal. Great review!

[@TURNTO11]

Groovy intro jam! More please!

[@Morniac]

Mooooore bass videos !!

[@ubermenschstream6765]

Why is every amp sim on me90b sounded kinda distorted?

[@tobymearing8407]

i don't play bass - yet this was such an enthusiastic demo, that i got drawn in! great intro and outro jams - more full-band elements are most helpful...everything sounds great until you add a drummer 🤣

[@amrsalahmahmoud3034]

What is the bass fender model is it standard ? Very nice demo I think I will buy one same bass & Boss pedal

[@arjanhurkmans9190]

great review , as always. would be nice to see more jams in the future :-). What is the model of the edrum kit? looks compact but sounds great.

[@chrisworland7754]

all I really wanted to know was how functional it is live when you have saved presets and demonstrating how to switch between them when required for parts in songs

[@maur00g00mes]

Having you guys review both which one is the all around pedal ? Zoom b6 or Boss Me90B ?

[@johnelcanrab2114]

Cici looks so comfortable playing a short scale bass, it really suits her. Not that she looked bad with a full scale or anything 😊

[@mymodel6]

What a weird comment...

[@ubermenschstream6765]

Kinda creepy ​@@mymodel6

[@nachobassman]

Considering the amount of FXs it offers, its Manual mode functionality that makes it work as a bunch of “single pedals”, and its price tag: 399€, similar to four decent 100€ pedals, it looks like a total deal. Have in mind I’m an “analog pedals” enthusiast and kinda “hate” digital multi effects, still I think this is the kind of multitask, multiFX unit I would use in a live situation. Great job, Boss.

[@nimrod1975bce]

I have the ME50B... and it has taken BOSS a really long time to replace it... So I am looking hard into getting a ME90B!

[@Bassman1999]

Great right hand dexterity from Cici. ✅

[@oliverburnand1228]

Super cool sounds fair plays ❤

[@nachobassman]

Great to know Cici has her “Alice In Chains Bass 101” lesson well learned when trying chorus on bass. 🤘🔥

[@jamesgordon4433]

A beautiful review ❤

[@damasterkarej]

Say whatever you want, but Pete's playing is so unique. After two strums you know that's Mr Purple ;)

[@ianhenry8252]

I can spot Pete pretty quick these days, same as Chris Buck - which is encouraging, especially in this day and age; it’s good that a guitarist can still put a ‘signature’ onto things

[@soogen]

This should be a weekly thing

[@D1570R73D]

Please Boss, why no 96khz? Some of your other new equipment has been using it.

[@Ren-X]

Thanks for playing that little bit of Alice in Chains

[@bagool9059]

You should do a "Can you tell which pedal this is" blindfold challenge on Cici but actually they're all just this thing in different modes

[@RudrakshaChandel]

That guitarist has more groove than many drummers

[@mehAudio]

Sweet! Very 90s sounds overall.

[@soundwisestudios5340]

I bought one... its ok... went back to my normal pedal setup though. I will keep it to mess around and see what I can come up with, it is fun... just not overly impressed.

[@lockharthorsburgh8601]

I have a 50B; I like it but don't use it much (prefer a few separate pedals for most of my repertoire). This seems to have a lot more going on. Loved the "rotten apple" excerpt (if I've remembered the track name correctly).

[@lockharthorsburgh8601]

Ooh, and a bonus fragment of "Orion". And Tool references . . .

[@jameslewis2635]

Finally Cici plays a bass that doesn't look stupidly huge in her hands.

[@GurungyNoHamuster]

Please, if you're going to have a Knob Man, get him to read the manual and learn the thing. Wandering through the settings is what we can do

[@zifuzmalikoshaylou1052]

Sometimes we wonder if tuning is necessary 2024

[@effectosis742]

For my live gigging the ME-50b is still good enough . Sadly it is no longer in production...

[@pentatonicpaddy]

Pete loves that strandberg he needs a purple relicd one 😂

[@gdawgs101]

That Meteora bass is sick! Wish Fender would give us more colors of the 6 string Meteora and give us rosewood board...

[@mikeomatic9905]

That's the Mike Kerr (of Royal Blood) signature. Super cool bass.

[@joannalewis5279]

[@ericskinner7355]

I know you guys are trying to sell these things, but I am pretty disappointed with my ME 90. (guitar). It's got a couple more features than the ME 80, but the overall sound has got this weird klanky fizzy quality that I just can't dial out.😔 I prefer my ME 80..

[@johngallagher7884]

How about some type o negative

[@toledo2983]

the most needed feature in any digital box is cost free: numbers of user presets! please BOSS give us 1200 and not 8 (katana) or 36. The build in thousands of options, but refuse to let us save them there should be a law order for a minimum of 6000 presets in any digital box. and this does not take much more CO2 than 4 user presets.

[@theprezenz]

Do you really need more presets than 36?

[@toledo2983]

@@theprezenz i work with a digital FX Box that has 300 User presets. And i am out of space, need 1000 more to save my stuff. But what question is this? even a guy who need 36 presets will be happy and no worry even his box has 3000 user presets. He simply is not using them, whereas i am not buying a 36 slot digital box. Its useful like a camper car that has 3,6 Liter maximum tank filling.

[@theprezenz]

@@toledo2983 about which digital box you're talking about?

[@nelsondylanias9330]

It may not be so accurate but it's more pratical to get the tone right away.
