Boss ME-50B bass guitar multi-effect processor
Product no: ROL-ME-50B Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

If you're a bass player, the Boss ME-50B offers a range of powerful effects without hours of programming. Boss's high-grade effects won't let you down during a performance, and they're easy to control too boot.

Characteristics of the ME-50B

A proper sound starts with a compressor and EQ. The ME-50's compressor/limiter is equipped with COSM technology and offers natural compression. As such, it leaves each subtle nuance of your playing technique intact, but still delivers plenty of punch. Additionally, the Boss multi-effect processor features a three-band master EQ with a parametric mid section for accurate tonal shaping.

Multi-effects for your bass guitar

The ME-50B offers a range of effects, including an Octave-Up that adds a note one octave higher to every note you play. It's even possible to apply some overdrive to the octave notes. Also at your disposal are effects like Slow Gear, T-Wah and a Defretter, which makes your bass guitar sound like a fretless bass. Drive effects like Muff Fuzz, Bass Driver, Natural and Metal provide you with all the shredding options you need, while High Band limits distortion to the trebles so your lows stay nice and punchy. Synth basses are also part of the package, of course.

The ME-50B's Sound-on-Sound mode allows you to create your own backing track, or lets you take your arrangements to the next level. A Kick Drum function takes care of the basics, while you play loops over the beat. The processor's Sound Hold function, finally, sustains your last note indefinitely, allowing you to play over it.

Gemak dient de mens. Als je geen zin hebt in losse pedalen is dit multi-effect een prima alternatief. Stevig gebouwd, prima geluiden, logisch qua plaatsing en volgorde.
Valkuil van zo'n apparaat is dat je vanwege de vele instelmogelijkheden van alle verschillende effecten door de bomen het bos niet meer ziet. Ook kan het vervelend zijn dat effecten die samen onder een selectorpedaal zitten niet zijn te combineren, maar dat is het compromis van een multi-effect.
Ik kocht dit pedaal omdat je de mogelijkheid hebt presets vast te leggen. Daarom vind ik het jammer dat je een extra voetpedaal nodig hebt om tussen geluidsbanken te wisselen.

Engin bien conçu, sympathique et facile à maîtriser. L'accordeur est très précis. Les effets sont vraiment multiples, une quarantaine à la base + les combinaisons par 2 ou par 3 mais on finit par obtenir des sons d'un autre monde. Pour moi j'aime bien les octaveurs, le "slow gear", la disto, la reverb, le "sound-hold" pour faire un bourdon Les effets prédéfinis dans la banque-mémoire sont un peu caricaturaux à mon goût, à chacun de les réécrire en dosant les paramètres. Bon, on ne peut pas combiner n'importe quoi avec n'importe quoi, par exemple deux effets qui se trouvent dans la même section. Et si on utilise la pédale d'expression pour un effet, elle ne module plus le volume. Mais la palette est vraiment large. A noter tout de même que c'est vraiment du son numérique, surtout quand on pousse un peu les réglages.

Ik ben heel tevreden over de ME 50-B , hij is heel makkelijk te bedienen en de effecten zijn heel bruikbaar,
Ook is het een goed alternatief voor de dure losse effecten, verder is hij duurzaam en heel stevig gemaakt, ook de bediening voelt heel stevig aan,
