Guys your reviews are so refreshing compared to the glossy reviews that are normally on here !!! nice to get a true account of how things sound not over produced to make them sound better than they actually are !!! will save a lot of musicians a lot of money in the long term lol

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

rubyandthegamblers thank you for the feedback! We try to be as unbiased as possible (plus we don't get paid to review gear) We should mention that this is the direct tone and didn't use the cab sim which changes the sound slightly - or mic up a cab Thanks again, and make sure to keep an eye out for future episodes!

[@Vegasnerveuk]

the thing on the back is to wind your power cable around. this means if the power cable gets tripped over it won't break your power input socket.

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Them Nerves Legends! Now we know!

[@Vegasnerveuk]

No worries fellas. glad to be of service.

[@toneleudy]

Or unplug the unit

[@gifgit]

@@toneleudy I think they meant if someone tripped on the cable while in use so unplugging it would be kind of redundant lol

[@andrewbendahan1379]

That's an accessory for average and pro musicians

[@watchyourtoneman5061]

Thank you for posting this. I got this unit yesterday and at first I was not impressed and wanted to return it but once I went on the website to download the sound patches I was blown away. It's like all things, with a bit of tweaking things get a lot better.

[@smeogol691000]

what site did you use for this

[@omgnerv]

thanks guys! i'm so tired of all those channels overhyping gear. you helped me so much identifying what NOT to buy. + you are refreshing authentic

[@Derayes]

After using it a period of time I can say I am satisfied, still some things to explore, the cons are many of factory presets and maybe the small output jack for headphones.

[@barryjmccormack]

love this review- Glad you are not sponsored

[@mattvia913]

I have been using an me70 for years so im looking forward to upgrading. I use a tube screamer in front of the multi fx so i have a good usable od, but the ones on the unit arent that bad.

[@uriahroseii1026]

These are cool units. I got one for its portability and it does what it does well. I still use a gt5 which is ancient but a very deep professional processor. The me80 is more for the home market although it works just dandy running into the board at church. I just use it like a would a pedalboard. The gt5 I use as a full-blown processor.

[@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars]

I have one and agree about the distortion. It's just not quite tubish tone. But it's does everything well.

[@jerrygarrett3229]

Thanks guys very informative

[@BaritoneOneFive]

I have one running through a Princeton Reverb. Have to dial everything WAY back for useable tones. Otherwise a bunch of noise. Decent Tube Screamer sound. I set up a patch that adds a short delay with the foot pedal. All my patches use the pedal to adjust boost or octave or modulation speed. Takes a while to program, but it will do just about anything.

[@robertclarkguitar]

You try the cab sim by putting a dummy headphone adapter in the jack? Supposed to say in the manual to this and many sold their ME80 not knowing which is a shame they didn't have a button for this.

[@gn0sis603]

that clip you guys had questions and doubts about is so you can wrap your ac adaptor wire through it so it wont ever get yanked out while playing a gig or during practice

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Rog Trivinos thanks man! As soon as i found out i started using it! Griff

[@markreid4154]

You need to plug into the 3.5mm headphone jack and this switches on the cab sim for all outputs, even if you don't use the headphone output.

[@freerockstar]

You gotta plug a headphone end in the rec/out input. The sounds quality is much more better!

[@ESP12345]

And around what price headphones should I get or what brand? Asking for a friend

[@williamobrien1045]

Yeah it's for wrapping the cable from your power supply round

[@RoadwayRiding]

Hello Admin: I need serious help: I cannot find the me80 driver for windows10 in the official Website of the Boss.the file is available but after the download i can find only the Readme File and not the setup of the driver. help me brother.

[@shawnshipstad1551]

The "Clip" is to run your power supply cabe through, so it does not get damaged or riped out

[@joebustos6413]

The high octive bender sounds like a trumpet or sax if you use slides and stecato. One note at a time.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

the .25 inch outputs are for amp input. To record the ME80 direct to a recorder like you are doing in this video, use the .125 inch stereo output - using this output which is for recording includes the amp simulator. Since the amp simulator would change the sound immensely maybe you could re-shoot this video?

[@robertclarkguitar]

Indeed. Lol

[@669rd]

Hi may I ask if the preamp of the ME-80 can be used as a real preamp straight to the power section of an amplifier?

[@ajazahmed111]

I use it exactly like that. This way you do not preamp of the amp. Just connect ME-80 directly to external amp FX loop.

[@24AnVRodri]

Is the NOISE SUPPRESSOR used? I can hear a hum on mine when on neck PU. I’ve seen so many videos with so many clean/unique sounds that no one speaks of the noise suppressor. Please update....

[@24AnVRodri]

DB Cooper - well I like the effects it can produce. I’ve been working with the built in Suppressor and it does help. I won’t be selling it but just wondering if anyone has used a Noise Gate after the board before it hits the amp.

[@brianwalker6849]

The clip as you call in is to secure your power cable so it doesn’t fall out if you move the your kit about!!!!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Hard to decide between the ME-80, GT1, GT100, GT1000 or just get the MD-500, RV-500 and DD-500 instead.

[@LachoTV]

No me decido si comprarme la Zoom G5N, o la Boss ME 80, la quiero tanto para estudio, con buen sonido, sonidos de ambiente como reverbs muy profundos, y que sea práctica para tocar en vivo, es decir, que pueda cambiar de efectos sin tanto problema

[@isaiticante8465]

Pasé de la Boss GT-10 a la HD500 para terminar con una Boss ME-80 y no me arrepiento de nada, las dos primeras suenan apenas aceptables para mi, si bien tienen más funciones y menús no me daban lo suficiente en sonido. Estoy muy satisfecho con la BOSS ME-80 porque le he añadido otros pedales de carrito como un Super Chorus de Boss y un Soul Food y listo, execelente sonido!

[@grahambeam3642]

I own this unit. For the pro e it's great. Bang for your buck. I mean yeah you can spend a ton of money on different peddles or get this. If you want amazing you pay amazing prices. I don't even use the patches I use it in manual mostly and it's pretty decent

[@alvisgrady3357]

Same results and opinion I have.

[@jcobena9849]

Which is more better zoom g5n or boss me 80

[@mdallen5]

Do you run into feedback issues at full volume with the higher gain options and your semi hollow tele?

[@fullglorywr8322]

Michael Allen if you put the knob into phrase loop it should get rid of it. I had the same problem for a while until I experimented with phrase loop.

[@winstonmetalcore1]

Plug in a pair of earphones in the rec out and leave it on the floor and see the magic

[@TheDilligan]

For real. The cab sim does so much for the ME-80 and I think the biggest flaw is that the only way to turn it on is by plugging something in that headphone jack. I wish it was a button or a setting. I'm hoping a new version will come out including CAB-IR's based on the Amp model and a few Miking options. Or at the least I'd love the Air-feel switch that they feature on the Katanas.

[@markallen381]

Any body know how piezo pickups do with this effects box? Acoustic guitarists comments please!

[@ridley6733]

I’ve just bought this model & really enjoy the looper but can only get it to work in manual mode. Can anyone tell me how to use it in memory mode please ? The instructions are a tad vague 🤔

[@TheDilligan]

If the looper is saved on a preset, then when you hit that preset button, that preset button will flash, just like pedal 4 would in memory mode. Meaning it is ready to record. So if your preset is on pedal 1, you can use pedal 1 as a looper while you are on that preset without switching into manual mode. However, what you cannot do is record a loop on one preset and then play over it with another preset.

[@darrylworthington9325]

I think the clip at the back is to wrap the power cable through . It just means if someone trips on the cable, it shouldn’t unplug. In saying that id rather have it unplug than break the cable. Have a nice day...

[@zzsql]

It's really, Really useful to see you change settings and hear the changes on the amp. Really shows the capabilities of the unit and how we can make best use of the effects processor. Thanks for this.

[@Mel-qg6yw]

best review

[@krishnashovapradhan4444]

This is good one

[@MrSeeker42]

If given the choice between a Line 6 Pod 2 or the me-80, which would you choose for studio use and why?

[@94SexyStang]

not a fan of Line 6......they are a notoriously Cheap and unreliable brand....However......apparently the Pod products are good!(I believe many pros use them).....But Like I said, I've been stung hard by Line 6 crap build quality.........Never had a problem with BOSS products, notoriously Reliable.......but I personally have the Boss me-80 and Love it......I'm actually ditching my pedalboard setup, because I find the sound quality to be good enough and SO easy to use. But keep in mind, I'm Not in a studio or gigging, just jamming on Tube Amps.

[@Matthew_Scan]

Did you have the output set right for what it was going into? The cleans sounded ok the dirty stuff was all over the place some sounded like fuzz others sounded like compressed dog shit

[@eberronbruce1328]

That so called clip is used to wrapped the DC power supply cord so that it remove tension off the cord and prevent it from break internally.

[@LAIDBACKMANNER]

Thanks for the review. I just bought the ME80 so, glad I didn't do any homework beforehand as to if this was a good investment or not... like a Boss #TerribleJoke #SorryNotSorry #JamOn

[@Yanthungbemo]

Why do the distorted tones sound like a VST amp being played without an IR? 🤔

[@eliezerkristiadi9620]

I think because the don't activate the cab sim on the board by plug 3.5 dummy jack on the earphone slot.. that's why.. and the demo is fail from the start..

[@edmondbrown3678]

@@eliezerkristiadi9620 Failing to kludge the bad design isn't a failed demo.

[@hbarlettasollberger]

You connected directly to the interface but didn't activate the cab simulator, to do that you need either to connect the phones output to the interface with a splitter cable or connect as you did but also connecting a dummy phone plug in the phones output even if you are planning not to use phones, that will activate the cab simulation for your recording = nicer sound

[@Menyhard]

I like it

[@earlbaker7099]

That clip on the back keeps your adapter cord stable so you don't knock your power out.

Im planning to buy ME-80,but many reviewer mentioned this pedal dont have a good distortion sound...Is it true???Please help me..TQ

[@tyler_bt3326]

Aaron Kajenderan I got a decent sound, you’ve just gotta tweak it. They’re more tweakable than the standalone pedals, so even if you use a metalzone preset you can tweak it to sound great

[@Adam-or6mb]

@@WeAreGIANTSUK nice one, thank you! :)

[@peterbrusch1493]

This unit is thought to be used in front of an amp, not directly into the line in of the interface.

[@jackfisher9833]

I have GT-100 .. I find it weird.. kinda odd.. There are many cool features as well as many useless features.. I remember having one time ME-8 that was the most kinky pack of effects i ever came across and they were pretty cool. Not everyone would like the sound of that but i found it fun to play with.

[@JohnnyNation]

I had the ME-8 in my history of effects and remember it as having great distortions/ especially for Metal !!!###

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

If Beavis and Butthead reviewed a guitar product they would be like you guys- just kidding! Very cool honest review and made me laugh.

[@robertclarkguitar]

You turn the amp cab sim on by plugging a headphone or something into the Jack. Shit design. Not your fault. I want this pedal.

[@streetsLo-Vibe]

hey guys, pleaseee see this comment :') what sort of mixing or editing did you do to the sound (if any) on garage band?

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Jamieebeau Sound hey dude! We didn’t mix any audio, it’s all raw but we used ableton live to record 👍

[@goldtop362]

Don't know what the point of all that was!!! Unless you did something different towards the end...I got bored and switched off...but putting it into the edit mode is NOT how to demo each effect! It should be in manual mode; then each section can be operated like an individual stomp box. Also...if you're going straight into recording software, you need to fit a dummy plug into the headphones socket, which engages the cab simulation. That affects the sound from the L R outs as well as the phones socket and improves the sound considerably! I've got a pedal board with good quality effects on (Keeley modded ts808, EP Booster etc) but still find the ME 80 useful, especially for modulations run through the fx loop. If I'd watched your demo first, I wouldn't have bought it...and I'd have missed out on what is actually a very good, versatile piece of kit!

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Thanks for the comment and feedback! As we say, we're average musicians with average knowledge and skill! Unfortunately neither of us own a dummy plug or a 3.5 to 1/4 jack so had to do it this way - ideally we would have mic'd a cab or re-amped the audio but again, don't have the gear required However, we did rate this board a hit. Just the od's and distortions sound shit

[@thomaskolb8293]

CLIP???? It is used to wrap the power supply wire around to keep it from getting yanked out all the time.

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

vikas chintha hey! I’ve never used the gt100 but heard good things for the price. Your best bet is to get down to your local store and try them if you can. Or even use single pedals and build your own board? All depends what you want for your sound

[@rebeldetail6134]

I have one all pre sets are bad! I use to just for the individual pedals and I never ever use the preamp pedal its bad too it not bad for the money I just use overdrive pedal and reverb and delay mostly I keep it simple on effects and everything at 12 o clock settings are pretty normal u can adjust from there all presets were useless to me

[@gavinsnyder5627]

Obviously I can't tell how your guitar tones are really adjusted or whatever else you're going into, but the acoustic simulator sound much better for me. Sounds like you have too much low end. Oh, and the thing on the back of the pedal is for the power supply wire.

Dude u don't have a cab sim going it sounds horrible I was able to tell from the start idk why these people are making comments on tone, u can get a idea but it would sound wayyy better with a cab u should re film this man I'm sure there's people who are going to be deterred from buying this pedal because they'll say I heard a demo on yt sounded like shit. Again ur not being paid for boss but yeah this on a side note ur riffs and play style is great fucking good

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Marcus A. Thanks for the comment and feedback man! We really appreciate it! At the time we didn’t realise there was a cab sim, which raises a massive point... boss didn’t make it obvious enough - and being average musicians we didn’t read the instructions properly! Most the riffs i play are our own songs, so make sure to check them out!

[@Moozart]

You guys didn't use the recording output, which means you didn't have cab sim on. That made it sounds a lot more shit than it would have if you used the correct output :p

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately we didn't have the correct gear to demo this with the cab sim 😭 And couldn't mic up a cab due to location After all, we're just average musicians with average knowledge!

[@Moozart]

Well I agree it should be a lot clearer which output is the direct one for cab sim. This board doesn't seem like it was meant to be used for anything but straight into a clean amp really, when the cab sim output is a mini jack xD I love mye ME-80 myself, although some of the sounds I ofc find real shitty as well. Just wanted to chip in with the cab sim thing, as that makes a big difference to the tone :D

[@WeAreGIANTSUK]

Definitely agree with you there! I like it and i use it live. We really appreciate your input, we should have explained this video better! Hopefully after a couple more episodes we'll be a lot better at this shit! And hopefully... it'll be a hit!

[@lorencing]

I am not a pro but have been using the ME-80 for a while but it was a disappointment sound wise as it is too digital and lacks the finesse that I am looking for, it has some good features, some cool effects, it is built very well(except for the distance between pedals), it is a tank, the controls are also good but in the end it does not win my heart as the overall sound is not analogue enough. So for me it is more shit than hit.

no, no, no, no, FUCKING HELL, NOOOOO!!!! its shit!! the distortions are the crappiest iv'e ever heard. Ya, its got effects, like everything else does, but so what! If it sounds like shit, no effect is going to help it! I tried my ass off to make it somewhat tolerable, but i just can't. I'm sorry, but i'd give this about a 3.0 rating and that's me being nice about it. SO, if anyone reading this, please play it for a bit in the store before you buy it. It still retails at 299$ here in the U.S. , and i just don't want anyone to piss their hard earned money away on something that's just going to sound like crap. SO PLEASE PLAY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. You see lots of these in guitar center's used section because people trade them in. That should tell you something right there. When i took mine back, the guys in the store said that lots of people return them and are very unhappy with it. So i'm just trying to warn people about it!!!!
