BOSS ME-80 Multiple Effects Guitar Pedal with Looper, Multicolored

You really can't beat this unit for ease of use, features, or sound quality. True, some of the effects aren't quite exactly like the vintage analog boxes they emulate, but it's surprising how close they actually get. And most of the dozens of effects you can choose from are stellar. The internal routing is well thought out as well, with copies of some effects showing up in other areas just in case you want your phaser in front of your distortion. Very cool and compact, I feel like I've only scratched the surface after a couple of weeks. I especially like how in "manual" mode, it's like having eight discrete pedals at once, with all the controls just where you'd expect them with ZERO menu diving!

I love this thing. Truly. Every control is right there, easily adjusted, easily triggered on and off, and the memory preset saves remember everything. In manual mode, experimenting and/or tweaking is WAY easier than a menu-driven system. It runs on batteries or from a wall wart, so it's easily portable. It seems to be very quiet, the only thing I noticed is that when the compressor/expander is running at its highest gain, there is some noise, but it's unclear to me if that's coming from the pedal, or just the ambient noise from the instrument. In any case, it's an edge case and I don't consider it a serious issue. The quality of the effects are very high - that's key here. It's not just convenient, it makes great output. I've been playing electric rock and blues for 50 years as I write this, and this is easily the best f/x system I've used to date. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best value of any Boss product I've seen or used as a guitar player of 5 or so years. You have no need for any pedals or even an amp with this multi-fx. I 100% recommend this to any players who need a stomp box setup and don't want to go all out on a custom pedal board. Great sound, through headphones or an amp, and very easy to set up. My only complaint is that activating the expression pedal is a little weird since there doesn't seem to be a button to click down (like on a crybaby wah) but in theory you would have it set up before a performance so this is no big deal.

I've been playing for 30+ years, and I've never been much of a tone-head. I've messed around with other pedals before, mostly distortion, wah, and chorus. I thought it was time to 'grow up' and get a real pedal board. As I was shopping around, the ME-80 came across my recommendations, along with a few others. I suffer from choice paralysis when it comes to this stuff, so I didn't make a decision and just sat on it. Then I saw it in action. I was watching a reggae band live, and the guitar player was pretty solid and was switching between tones pretty fluidly. I checked out his rig and he had one of these babies, so I pulled the trigger and ordered it. In the interim, I watched a bunch of videos and read a ton of reviews. They were overall very positive with some toneheads lodging minor complaints about the modeling. With the pre-amp, eq/boost, and stomps alone it's worth the price of admission. Plus it has a decent wah/volume pedal built in. Plus, it's BOSS. Come on. You can't go wrong. I've always wanted compression, boost, overdrive, and mods in my chain but don't have the cash for those types of boutique effects. Plus this includes amp modeling...under $400. It's a steal.

I just got this a couple of days ago so I haven't even scratched the service yet on its capabilities. The Boss ME 80 sounds great and I find it very easy to use. I have never owned a all in one effects pedal like this, I have always had separate stomp pedals. I was looking for something with knobs on it, guess I am old school. I am loving the sounds of most of the effects, the flanger is great (never owned one before) the wah wah is very good and the pedal is easy to turn on and off. I haven't played around with the memory function yet so I can't commit yet on it. I really am enjoying this piece effects pedal and recommend getting the carry bag too

It's really good, works very well. It just takes time to get used to it and it takes time to match specific tones that you are looking for if you are doing covers and want the sound to be the way it is on the album. A little advise is to have each channel the same volume, there isn't a specific setting for this so you'll need to work with it to get it right. Also, if you have a setlist that is more than 9 songs, you'll want to hook a computer up to it with the BOSS Tone Center that has all of your tones and you'll need to switch out the channels, it doesn't take long. All in all, this is a great product that I have used for random jam sessions to venues like the House of Blues in Chicago. It hasn't let me down.

Extremely flexible. In Manual mode, you can program each pedal separately using the knobs (like you would on a discrete pedalboard) and make the perfect tone with ease. The awesome thing is that three of the pedals can be configured as delays, and they all melt together into a sea of ping-pong echoes. I don't even use the presets - it's way more fun to just dial in what I need. It's also convenient to use - throw the board and the AC adapter (not included - you'll want to buy it separately) into a bag and I'm ready to go. And it sounds amazing with both my MIM Stratocaster and Epiphone Les Paul Tribute going through a Fender Blues Jr. amp.

Should have bought this years ago. I wasted so much money on individual pedals and power supplies and cables. This has every effect you need. Easy to work and built like a tank. Buy it! The amp models are great and you can adjust everything until you get the sound you want. Use it on manual, or create your own presets. Love it! Tons of Youtube videos on using it. You can also download presets for free.

Cuma günü sipariş verdim, pazartesi günü adresimdeydi, Almanya’dan İstanbul’a bu kadar kısa zamanda gelmesi resmen mucize, ürün zaten efsane, ona bir şey demeye gerek bile yok bence

Un bon investissement à faire. De nombreux effets préinstallés et une infinité de combinaisons possibles, enregistrables dans une banque User. L'utilisation est simple, intuitive, et peut être pilotée depuis son ordinateur (liaison par câble USB). Les effets pilotables à la pédale font bonne impression (wah wah, voice...). Branchement sur ampli, sur chaîne hi-fi par la prise casque. Prise Auxiliaire pour brancher son téléphone, lecteur CD... Le boîtier est stable, lourd ce qu'il faut, et la pédale semble résistante. Comme moi, vous ne serez pas déçus de votre achat.

El ME-80 de Boss es un pedal de efectos de calidad media-alta, que da una gran cantidad de posibilidades a la hora de escoger sonidos para tus guitarras, conectándolo a tu combo directamente, al ordenador mediante USB, o a mesa. Puede funcionar como 8 pedales diferentes + pedal de expresión, funcionando juntos o independientemente se pueden activar y desactivar, dando un abanico de sonidos muy completo. Se puede utilizar como previo. En relación calidad - precio de lo mejor.

A bit pricey but pretty impressive pedal! So many settings on it. Very polyvalent. However it takes a little time to get used to it and set the exact precise sound I want. I think this pedal is worth every cent I spent on it.

Ho fatto passare circa tre settimane in modo da poter dare una valutazione più accurata di questa pedaliera Boss. Premetto che suono da oltre 30 anni, con esperienze sia live che in studio; posseggo svariati pedali sia analogici che digitali di marchi com Boss, Electro Harmonix, Digitech, T-Rex e Dunlop. Cercavo da tempo una pedaliera compatta che potesse sostituire la mia composta da vari singoli pedali; con lo scopo di avere una strumentazione per i live il più semplice e pratica possibile. Dopo aver visto vari video dimostrativi mi sono convinto di acquistarla, in particolare per la praticità ed immediatezza delle regolazioni tramite le manopoline. Si può usare sia in modalità Manual che Preset; io la uso in Manual in quanto sono riuscito a ricreare eattamente la stessa sequenza di catena-effetti che avevo nella pedaliera precedente. Consiglio di leggere bene il manuale per capire bene come è stata strutturata, inteso come è composta la sequenza degli stadi dei vari gruppi di effetti. Il noise-gate è regolabile, anche in questo caso senza manuale non è facilmente capibile. Inoltre, piccolo trucco, per attivare il simulatore di cassa sulle uscite Jack, bisogna inserire un mini jack (senza nessun cavo, solo lo spinotto) nella presa cuffie. Per finire unico neo sarebbe stata pià moderna con un'uscita audio XLR, e magari anche un Send+Return. INteressante la possibilità di poterla collegare al PC. Il suono mi ha soddisfatto, probabilmente gioca a favore la qualità dell'amplificatore valvolare. Prodotto molto versatile, con potenziale molto interessante.
