Boss ME-30

I purchased my ME 30 like 3 or 4 years ago when it was just released. It was a great piece of technology at the time, but now, you can probably find better (I say probably because I stick to my ME 30)(I'm a faithful man). LOOK / DESIGN ******************* It is not the most beautiful piece ... Read review

The ME-30, like J, has to be the Boss!

Advantages: Very good quality effect, good range, good price
Disadvantages: hard to see what's on the screen when standing up.

...FEATURES
**************
The boss ME 30 is a guitar multi effect. Which means there are several effects available (16 effects, and up to 9 used at the same time):
- analog distorsion: several available: warm, blues, fuzz, hard, metal (basically from slight overdrive up to violent and heavy distorsion)
- Equaliser: you can set trebble, middle and bass.
- compressor: allows to increase the sustain of your note.
...background when you are using a distorsion.
- other effects: flanger (your sound sounds like it is turning around), chorus (I can't describe this effect. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) was using it all the time, if you listen to the sound of the guitar on "come as you are", that's chorus), tremolo (your sounds vibrate), pitch shifter (allows you to higher or lower the pitch of your guitar as you want)
- reverbs (you play the note and ... more

The Boss ME-30 : Worth every Cent

Advantages: Great sounds, flexibility and ease of use
Disadvantages: Limited number of presets per bank, LCD display hard to read on dark stages

...RM1 250 back in 1999. Boss doesn not manufacture this anymore, so get your hands on one as soon as one is available. Of course, the built-in volume/wah/pitch bend pedal is not as responsive as those on dedicated units; but it gets the job done. The effects, such as chorus, delay, reverb, overdrive and distortion are definitely BOSS, and the sounds are comparable with that of dedicated BOSS stand-alone stomp boxes. There is a slight learning curve ...
...cent; all it needs is a little patience and the willingness to experiment; in order to discover its true capabilities. The pitch shifter is not intelligent; but does the job fairly well. All said and done, this offering from BOSS is a must-have for the guitar player on a budget. ...

The Boss ME-30 Guitar Multiple Effects Pedal

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

The Boss ME-30 Guitar Multiple Effects Pedal is a nice bit of kit. I bought mine second hand and have had it for a little over a year now. It features 3 banks of 9 effects - which gives you access to 27 pre-set effects and 27 that you can program yourself - which is really useful for gig situations. The expression pedal is smooth, a definite advantage over some of the cheaper multi-effects pedals on the market. It has a liquid crystal type display, ...

The Mama of guitar multi effects!!!

Advantages: fun to use, really nice sounds
Disadvantages: so many things... can be confusing sometimes...

for 11 years, but have never been too good at programming multi effects and amps. I also never liked the idea of individual effect pedals. I used for many years a boss ME-30 (which I reviewed), but last year decided to upgrade it to a Zoom GFX-5. I kept the Zoom GFX5 for about 6 months, and then upgraded to the G9. I just fell in love with the unit. First, (I know it is lame) it looks really cool. Then I read many reviews about it on various websites, and the specs looked really good, and also it sounded like it was really easy to get a nice sound. With my years of struggle to get a sound I like, I felt really attracted to this unit. They also upgraded the processor in there, making it clearer, faster, better. I tried the G7 (model below the G9, but same specs, just a few effect less), and purely felt in love with it. I just played with it ...

Review of Zoom G9.2tt

The Boss ME-8 The best allround effects unit - ever!

Advantages: Great sounds, incredibly flexible
Disadvantages: Not made any more, add-ons are expensive

Sadly the Boss ME-8 is no longer being manufactured, replaced by the inferior ME-30. Happily there are still quite a lot still for sale and as they are end of line they are generally at a sensible price. I got mine shortly after the launch of the ME-30 for less than the ME-30?s launch price ? nice! The 200 available effects (50 User/50 Preset) are split into banks and groups. Each bank has 5 sounds in, each group has 5 banks and there are 4 groups. Switching between sounds and banks is nice and easy, you get great big foot operated pedals to switch around ? switching groups is less easy, you only get a little thumb tip sized button and trying to switch with your foot can lead to the unit going into bypass or manual (Where the unit acts like individual Distortion/Chorus/Etc pedals) mode. You can buy an external pedal that will let you ...
