NEW BOSS PEDAL ON TOP OF THE GAME !!

[@yeoss]

OMG THEY FINALLY RELEASED THE ME90 FOR BASSISTS!!!

[@rappeldo]

That pedal looks and sounds fantastic!! Great playing by the bassist :)

[@smashogre4766]

Great video!! And great job, Boss! I am one of those who still like a knob I can turn. Sweet bass playing, from Mr. Lemke too. (he might give Frank a good run in the bassface dept :-)

[@MusicLand53]

The ME series are my favorite Boss multi-effects pedals. So easy to use. No menus. Just checked the price at Sweetwater. Only $400. Great deal for what you get.

[@cvanhetkaar96]

Mm that is not a “pedal” that is a complete starship control panel ….

[@davidmiller6076]

It looks like a 4 channel sound system!!!😮

[@corontsurara3862]

Set the controls for the heart of the sun and let's gooooooo!

[@davidrosie4109]

Great vid showing what it can actually do with a real bass player demonstrating. Looks like octaver tracks fairly well.

[@dariomoran7452]

Going to Japan for work next week and I'm 100% picking up one of these.

[@TobyPlaysBass]

Great Video! I have carried a TU-3 in my bag for years and years. Do I need another pedal? No. But I like Knobs and Switches as well...Damn you BOSS!

[@esposoman]

I got a boss ME50B as a Christmas gift back in 2010. I still keep it for sentimental reasons. I got a boss GT1000 core in 2021 and it sounds awesome but sometimes it takes time to dial it in. This unit seems easy to dial in and I like the fact that it's for bass instead of the GT1000 core which it's primarily for guitar Wich a few bass FX added.

[@thomasfioriglio]

WOW!!! I think I need this! I had been looking at the old Boss ME-50B. So nice to see they finally updated that unit. And like you, I like knobs!! I've owned a Zoom B1 Four and recently got a Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig v2 and prefer it because of the knobs. This Boss ME-90B has all that and more! I am not much on effects, but I love the versatility this brings and of course, the Boss name and reputation. Thanks so much for this demo.

[@VitalyGanja]

Had ME50B and it was awesome. Actually it still is and by seeing this, nostalgia hits hard. Btw, I wish they would release Defretter as separate pedal.

[@jreid641]

It's cool, not sure I would have any use for it though. Kai sounds great as always!

[@nickfindsgold9788]

I have the ME90 for guitar, it is a brilliant system. Grossly underrated If you are into traditional boss pedals, this is the way to go

[@-kaitheguy-]

Oh dang that groove at 3:45 is filthy

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome multi-effects processor 😎🤘🏻🎸 I’ve been checking this out recently and it sounds pretty cool. I personally liked the distortion and modulation effects as well as some of the amp models.

[@tymurdock1790]

Next on Caveman Multi Effects; with Bluetooth device control, user presets, insertable effects loop, tuner, battery capabilities, only 195mA, USB to editing software. I'll bet there is a way to get your compressor and the octave in there somewhere and I think you can inport IR cabinet sims, too? I ordered and hope I can dump my Two Notes Opus IR library or at least a couple of cab sims into this. Having a pedalboard garage sale and using this small dynamic board.

[@ileutur6863]

This may look old school compared to the GT1000, but I bet the workflow is faster and more satisfying. I was miserable dialing in sounds with the 1000 and ended up selling mine

[@Dankenein]

Mega! Ich will in den nächsten Monaten auch mal ein paar Effekte ausprobieren und weiß nie genau wo ich anfangen soll. Kann mir nach diesen Eindrücken gut vorstellen das "Boss Pedal" zu holen :D

[@jaribu2758]

I've been waiting for this since the release of the guitar version. Affordable AIRD for bass? I'm in.

[@livebassngames]

gosh I would need 4 years just to find the sounds I like not sure I would recover from that

[@beachjn86]

I was looking to get this for my daughter. I know nothing about bass, does the gx 100 or gx10 do the same as this would? I just didn’t know if there’s a difference between guitar and bass effects stuff.

[@FoxyRahul]

Hey Gregor. Wie gehts? Great video as usual! How do you feel this compares with the Zoom B6. I’m trying to decide between the two. I know that the interfaces are different but I would like to know how they compare with regards to tones. Danke

[@axlbraun]

I have a Boss GT-1B, which can do pretty much the same thing including getting lost in the abyss of the menu. To upgrade my gear GAS I went for an HX Stomp. Together with the hx edit software you can create almost everything on the fly (without getting lost in the menu of the Stomp)

[@swiftymcgarnagle4567]

No, the boss GT 1B is more of a toy ,doesn’t have nearly the same processing power, and this unit doesn’t have menus.

[@craighenshaw4487]

I have been waiting for this and never believed it would happen. Thanks boss

[@raymondo1021]

Getting back into bass . Not sure about this ,as I have the ME-8B and Zoom B3 . When I purchased the ME8-B it was complicated back in 1996. I also have the Roland Bass Microcibe RX which is good playing at home . I don't play in bands anymore ,so I may not need this 😊

[@WowIndescribable]

Wicked bass playing!

[@latenight5865]

Blend Knob is especially impressive to me. I also wonder how it would sound like with acoustic bass guitar, together with acoustic preamp and acoustic simulator.

[@hanovergreen4091]

Downgraded from a GT-1000 to an ME-90 and use it every day. The A-I-R-D engine is a huge upgrade from the ME-80. Love BOSS. Great review. Best Regards and Best Wishes!.

[@zool84]

Is it capable of having both the compressor and the octaver switched on at the same time?

[@hillie47]

It looks like it's impossible, but digging in the manual it says that if you use the "Boss Tone Studio" app for this device, you can change the FX2 Humanizer effect and exchange it for another one. One of these is the "M-Comp", which gives you the ability to then run an octaver in FX1 and the compressor in FX2. The Zoom MS60B+ seems a little more flexible, although you don't get the easy adjustability.

[@AnthonyBAUS]

Something else I've learned as I delved deeper... This is a minor thing, but if you are trying to setup a delay with a VERY specific ms timing (e.g. to match backing track/sequence with specific tempo), the ME-90B only lets you set Delay Time in 10ms increments, e.g. 440ms, 450ms, 460ms, etc. So if you have a song with 116bpm tempo and want a matching 464ms delay - you can't :(

[@DanieleK-jn3gh]

From the manual it seems that you can set the time yourself through the pedal

[@Basis213]

Is the sound quality as good as in the GX100? Also same processor? I’m really considering to replace my GX with ME-90B because of the easy way to dial in the tones and effects..

[@garywhitehead4160]

I can feel a BassFace battle coming on... 😝😝

[@hillie47]

What about a comparison of this with the Zoom MS60B+ and maybe the B6 as well? And why not toss in the Quad Cortex as well, on the other end of the price spectrum. I realize this is largely an infomercial channel, looking to advertise/sell whatever gets plugged, but a true comparison would be good, especially with the good players on this channel.

[@maur00g00mes]

This on or the zoom b6 ?

[@RickyRay-do9cp]

Incredible! Very impressive! Best Bass multi effect since the Boss GT-6B!

[@FlipDahlenburg]

You were great in 'Help'!

[@duarteestelita7257]

looks pretty solid , in deed.. Like a propor Roland/Boss device. thanks for this. are you reviewing any of the “new”.. Flight mini basses ?

[@basstheworldofficial]

These look fun. I’ll send them an email

[@duarteestelita7257]

Yes they do . I've ordered the TBL model, from Thomann. I'm waiting for it to be in stock. I'll let you know how it feels, if I end up trying it before you do ;). Thanks, by the way. Hehe

[@duarteestelita7257]

I first got into the mini basses when you showed the Mayones Cali. But I was really turned on, when you reviewed the Tiny Boy ones, from Japan, specially because I wanted a fretless 5string. But these are even more inexpensive, and easier to order. Thomann doesn't carry the TinyBoy brand, unfortunately. PS: Flight also have the Mini JB bass SB model, but I wanted a neck carve/contour, on the TBL. I'm curious as to whether they are going to be any good. Cheers ;)

[@EniferyLearn]

I've had the boss gt1b since it came out and this is the time where I can say I understand it now hahahah so this new boss pedal Will be a lot easier to use

[@sweezyjackson4935]

Nice!! Yet another great guitar processor I cant afford to own. Keep em coming

[@sickoancestry4973]

Gotta get the Zoom ms-60 b+ then-sounds just as good & costs less then half as much.

[@soundwisestudios5340]

Just ordered this beast

[@pwd1134]

Why am I watching this? I can't even afford dinner.

[@chriskitchen4772]

Nothing wrong with dreaming or window shopping.😃

[@pensive_]

Because that interest vs your situation is what can make you successful. You are not a complainer and blame placer, so you will get very far in life if you put your shoulder at it.

[@TheFriendlyPsychopath]

Sell one of your kidneys, I sold 2 kidneys.

[@neurocosm]

Had me hooked in at the first preset. Wow.

[@sync1216]

Have had the boss gt1b for a bit more than a year now and I'm pretty comfortable with it now. That being said, having to exit one menu before getting to another is quite annoying, so much that I ended up buying certain effect pedals separately. If I was in the market for a multi effects unit now, I would probably look at this one instead. 🤔

[@sync1216]

@ElliottBass6 damn... and here I thought the overall look and higher price tag ment an improvement, compared to what I've gotten used to. But now that you mentioned it, seems like they replaced one annoyance with another. Totally agree with you, changing the order is not something I would want to miss, among other things. Thanks for your insights!

[@bassnmusic4572]

Bei dem Pedal stellt sich mir sofort eine einzige und entscheidene Frage. Kann man auch den Compressor und die Octave gleichzeitig benutzen? Wenn nein macht es das Pedal ja schon von Grund auf absolut unbrauchbar für einen Bassisten der es dann auch benutzen will.... 😅🤣

[@salesiosilva8133]

Interessante. Aqui no Brasil não chegou ainda eu acho.

[@jfh2112]

AHHHHHH I *just* got a B6 last week, and now this! (wailing, gnashing of teeth)

[@therocksolide]

😂😂😂😂

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

It looks like a lot of fun.

[@MatteoAlessandri]

The pedalboard is OK, anyway I would need the hands of Kai. Are them on sale? 😅

[@4stringz.]

$400 is a great price point for this, considering the cost of Boss’ pedals separately. I’ll be getting this soon

[@CarlosKTCosta]

A friend of mine is blind and has an awful time with modern pedal boards because of the all digital interfaces. This will be perfect for him.

[@richshields6692]

Sounds amazing.

[@munneysh]

I've never had a multi effect pedal. I don't know how to use it.

[@johalareewi]

Ooooh. Maybe I have an upgrade path from my Boss GT-6B.

[@Fl4ppers]

Its come a long way since my ME-8 which was naff for bass.

[@AnthonyBAUS]

Any idea what WAV file formats are supported in the IR loader for loading your own Impulse Reponses into the 3 user slots in the BOSS Tone Sudio? The manuals have no details and at the moment I'm using trial and error with different formats for various 3rd party Bass IR packs, all unsuccessfully.

[@AnthonyBAUS]

Good news! I've tested with Own Hammer IR library (the Ampeg SVT library) all the way up to their 96 kHz 500ms samples, and also some IRs from Shift Line, and had no problems. Just one gotcha, you can only upload IRs into the 3 x User slots while the ME-90B is connected to the computer. I have to say, using the IRs really improved a lot of the sounds over the default "SP Type = Original" quite significantly. With many sounds there is the high frequency noise which I found went away when I used any of the IRs I uploaded.

[@neurocosm]

This duded right-hand vibrato is insane.

[@edgeofsanity9111]

How do I adjust its noise suppressor tho? Bc it's in the effects chain, but the manual says absolutely nothing about adjusting its treshold

[@theprezenz]

You can adjust it in the Boss Studio App on your computer or through the app.

[@edgeofsanity9111]

@@theprezenz yeah, I found out, but I can't get that dricer update done :/

[@gobasserk9248]

How do I realize to choose a compressor, a chorus and an octaver at one time with this pedal?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Some effects are overlapping to other categories to make these combinations possible

[@1234drums]

Boss rules ❤❤❤❤

[@deth800lg]

finally i can replace my dying ME-50b

[@Musiic37]

I am a proud owner of the ME50B for over 10 years. I have been looking forward to an upgrade. But this ME90B is just a modern toy that can do the job. I was hoping for a more compact and versatile product. There are not that many multi effect options on the market for bass players. I would love to see a finished all-in-one dedicated to bass. Boss almost did it this time.

[@dm4728]

Line 6 helix stomp?

[@FlamesAt1000ft]

You should at least give it a try if you have and STILL use the Boss ME-50B today like me,..just see how it does differ and the improvement Boss has made on the concept of the ME series!! I plan to keep using my ME-50B because it’s still bought new just a few years ago!😃 (I an🇺🇸residing in Tokyo, Japan🇯🇵thus lucked up and found it still in it’s brand new box in stock @a Music Shop in Osaka!!

[@Ren-X]

Great demo, only problem I have is the volume between your dialogue and the sound demos themselves are so different that I'm constantly turning my volume up and down to hear either clearly

[@basstheworldofficial]

that's an issue we're dealing with constantly, but there's no real solution. The volume differences are depending on the system you're using to watch the video. TV's and AirPods make speech louder, proper speakers or headphones give the normal volume. We're mixing in a way trying to accommodate everyone as good as we can, but it's a challenge

[@cacadordorio]

Do you still have the fenders precisions made in mexico??

[@basstheworldofficial]

Nope

[@50beowulf]

What were the settings in that into riff?

Studio Bass Setting + the regular distortion

Yes

[@zulu5157]

Wow, the price blew me away. Only 400 € for all this stuff. Okay, it's a clear option for me if my pedalboard were no longer there for whatever reason.

Well, according to the manual the DARK DRV setting in the AMP/EQ section is a simulation of the B7K. It would be interesting to hear how it sounds.

[@jagerking7020]

This seems like the obnoxiously giant pedal the bass player brings to band practice and only uses 1 setting or is siper annoying constantly fiddling with knovs rhe whole time not finding a good sound..

[@basstheworldofficial]

If you’re only using 1 sound, this is not the right pedal.

[@sparella]

I love pedals more than is healthy, but there is a time and a place for knob fiddling, and rehearsal is not that time.
