Boss ME-90 Guitar Multiple Effects

A great all in one guitar amp sim and effects pedal board! Love the classic Boss design, which feels robust whilst being light enough to easily move around or throw in a bag.

It’s pretty straightforward and pairs nicely with the Boss software when connected to a laptop, allowing easy editing of presets.

Whilst it doesn’t come with a Power Supply Unit, having the option to power with batteries makes it a really portable solution you can take anywhere - for me, the sofa with minimal cables.
I bought this before the release of the Katana Go, which I’m now thinking of replacing it with as I don’t really use the wah/expression pedal and the small form factor is preferable to me.

Most importantly, it sounds good and is a convenient way to have a multitude of sounds at your disposal. I wasn’t overly impressed by the reverb section, but good enough for simple guitar tones. In my opinion, very good value all in all.

Boss ME-90 Guitar Multiple Effects

Alhoewel een B-stock was er niks op aan te merken en was alles in prima nieuwstaat. Na heel wat spullen in huis te hebben gehad , waaronder een aantal zeer behoorlijke, gaat deze ME-90 voor mij blijven. Vele Bosspedaaltjes in één groot pedaal (als je ze allemaal individueel zou kopen ben je algauw enkele duizenden euro's kwijt) en een 'easy to use' gebruiksgemak doen me niet twijfelen. Bovendien gebruik ik hem op 2 manieren: ofwel recht in een interface met het stereovoordeel in een aantal delays en reverbs, ofwel in de 4 kabel methode waarin ik mijn lampen preamp gebruik in plaats van de AIRD versterkermodellen maar dan wel alle effecten kan gebruiken voor en na Send/Return (via de Boss Tone Studio).
Super easy en altijd goed klinkend. Einde van de chaos aan patchkabeltjes en ditto voedingen.
Soms mag het ook wel eens goed en gemakkelijk zijn :-)
