Eternally grateful for this - I was just starting to think my ME-90 was faulty and I was going to have to send it back. I was finding that when I first switch on and use the pedals in manual mode, the effects don't work straight away when I press the pedals. Either nothing happens or they're not the same as the setting (the flanger doesn't flange, the wah doesn't wah) and I have to give the knobs a twiddle before if "catches on" and starts sounding like it should. I went through all the manuals but couldn’t find the answer. I now see this is all covered in the Parameters Guide section “configuring system settings” but I needed to watch this video first to know what I was looking for. I wouldn’t have known from the description in the guide that it was this causing the problem. Thanks again to this kind soul for sharing his knowledge.
@@steveluke1874 hey, thank so much! I thought the same thing when I got mine. Totally thought it was broken LoL. Hope you check out some of my other me90 vids and subscribe. I appreciate your support!👍😎🎸

Mine will be here in a few days, I'm going to have the same issue? What exactly are the issues or is the issue? And the fix can be found in '' Parameters Guide section “configuring system settings” ?
I just got this unit 4 days ago and I have already went to the boss tone studio and downloaded a few impulse responses and have 36 user presets saved . This is really easy, I read a bit watched some videos and then dove in . Highly recommend going this route ! This unit is capable of some awesome tones and sounds
Thank you for making this video! its crazy how undocumented this is! I was losing my mind trying to get this changed. I read the manual and it vaguely made sense. This is what boss should be making to show how to change settings.
Thank you for this. It amazes me how this isn’t written down in a manual somewhere. I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to use this thing. You’ve got a new subscriber. Thanks again!
I don't have one yet, but good video. I'm thinking about this one or maybe an IR2. I have to go direct or have a silent stage where I am going to be gigging. I have an old Peavey tube amp with a 15 inch speaker that I have been using with pedals, but I want something to go direct with multi effects with a loop and this has that. Will the levels work if you use it in Memory mode? I mean will they stay the same once you've saved your presets for the user presets and not factory presets? I only use about three or four sounds. Clean, slightly edge of break up, highish gain , and highest gain with delay and reverb and maybe some micro pitch from time to time and dual delay in the effects loop. I'm considering one of these hard, but also looking at the IR2 Since I have pedals and it also goes direct and has an effects loop that is very clever because you can put delays after the cab, etc,. Thanks for the info. I will check out your other videos. I'm an old man. 😂 Have been playing since the late 70s. Blues hard rock. Love my guitars. ❤❤ Be well sir. ❤
Boss man... WOW..... Where on Gods green earth can i find the 1-12 amp types mentioned at 3:33???? Ive been searching forever on their useless manual and website and i cant find a list anywhere. I'm playing thru a 2x12 combo amp. What should i set it to in the edit screen?
One day, I wish there was a pedal where the reviewer said "All the presets are perfect...I didn't have to change a thing". (Even simple pedals seem complex)
Awesome tip. Just got mine yesterday and this video helped a lot to help me keep my tones where I left off. Still diving into this thing and so far so good. Got this because I hate menu diving so hopefully I will achieve some good clean bluesy tones.

Great video. I actually prefer the n1 mode and I can see why it’s really useful. If I’m editing a saved preset, let’s say the gain, I have no idea what level it is currently at - there is no indicator to tell me. Let’s say I want to turn it down by 1 or 2, it’s saved at 80 out of 100, but I don’t know this. My gain knob is currently at position 20, which doesn’t match the saved setting. If I try to edit this preset in n0 mode, and touch the gain knob, it will jump to 20 and I have no idea what the original value was. With n1, I can move it around safely until it catches the saved level 80, then fine tune it to 78
@@pstrokeslibsarcticI think so, yes. But for my use case this is fine, I’m using predefined/saved multi effects. I’m not going to turn one on or off during a gig. I’d much rather this than accidentally change the value and have no idea what the original value was
It depends on if you want to use the preamp models from the me90 or just use it as an effects unit. Both ways work. I did hook it up in the store through the loop of the katana and it sounded great!
@@the_guitar_generation hi 24-7Guitars! Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do like to use preamps on the unit also. Do you just have one cable from the mono out of the ME-90 go into the return socket of the katana? Or do you use two cables sent and return from the Katana into the ME-90? Hope you could clarify it a little bit more how you hook it up, thank you 😊! Have a nice day
@@laurens_livemusic I really don’t remember what I did. I think I just plugged it in from the send into the return of the katana? I’ll have to revisit that and let you know. Once I get my amp shipped to me I’ll be able to mess with it and get back to you. Sorry! It was a little while ago. I was just tryin to see what the preamp sounded like if I plugged into a simple power amp or maybe even a powered speaker. It did actually sound pretty good.
Great video my good man... before I saw this video of yours my new ME-90 was driving me crazy by jumping all over the place, you have solved this for me now.. Many Thanks 🖒😎🎸
@@the_guitar_generation I am a Tutor of both Bass and Guitar for many a year and always tell the Students " Every day we learn something new".. even me 😉, so thanks for proving me right. I will also now recommend your videos to them 😁
Don’t get discouraged, it is actually very simple to use in manual mode. You just need to make a small adjustment to make it easier (as described in this video). It’s really very much like just using some stomp boxes. Go to a music store and give it a shot.👍
Hi, I just use it in manual mode but I’ve found a couple of user presets that I love. I’d like to take the preset settings to show up in manual mode so I can tweak them for live playing. Can you help? Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks. Other problem : when I am in distorsion (OD DS) impossible to increase the volume with boost (on EQ FX2). The boost works only in clean. If someone has an idea to fix that…
@@jeanprune3255 that actually depends on how you have the amp set up. Which amp are you playing through? It may be that there isn’t any headroom left in the amp if it’s already maxed out for volume. For me, the boost does give extra volume if there’s still headroom left in the amp and the gaind drive is set to about unity volume or just above the amp volume
The presets are interesting on my ME80, but I live in manual mode. They don't have any ME90's at the local music stores, can you tell me are the amp sounds noticably better and more dynamic?
Thanks for the video , its really helpful..I bought bt dual adaptor but can't stream music through this.. only I could do edit the presets through the app. Could you please let me know how to solve this !!
Thanks, this was really useful. I bought my ME-90 two weeks ago and have been fiddling around the settings in a more or less puzzled state since. So this really helps. Now I just need to find out why the overdrive pedal sometimes just doesn't seem to create overdrive. But I'm sure there's a similar trick out there.
@@the_guitar_generation Thanks for your reply. Well, several times now when I switch on the overdrive pedal of the ME-90, the sound remains basically free of distortion (whereas the other effects work). But I get it to work after turning all the knobs. I will check the settings as you explain in your video, hopefully this will solve the issue. 🙂
@@cismercier8009 yes, it sounds like you need to change the universal setting to manual as I show in the video. It must be going to a predetermined user preset setting.
When I take mine out of the box, I want to set up the ME90 so that all of my patches are to always retain the volume levels that I set them at , when created, and when later adjusted by me, is there a video on how to accomplish or solve 'JUST' this issue?
I’ll have to look into that. I agree, that would be a very useful feature! Unfortunately I think you can only use it for reverb or the fx loop. I’m out of town at the moment but I’ll check it out when I return. Thanks for watching and the support 🎸😎👍
@@the_guitar_generation subscribed 👍 man, I just bought the ME90 and those knobs were driving me nuts. I was like "where did that sound go." I began to confuse myself as to whether red light was preset or blue 😂
Thanks for the video. Recently got mine. Manual is not so good all over the place and missing critical info. It would be nice if they included a companion manual with all the parameters like you explained. I'm still trying to figure out how to save a preset ? I'll check your other videos for a how to, Thanks again😎
I agree! But it is available online on their website. As for saving a preset, I’ll make a video about that and put it up shortly. It’s mainly about choosing where you want to save it and pushing the write button
This is Sooooo helpful!!!! Question: Where can I find the description for "d1, b0, c1, etc" when editing on Manual Mode? THANKS AGAIN for this video. You are a life saver 🙏🏼
Ugh, those cryptic codes! I hope an ME-100 has meaningful text displays, and really nice would be to have rotary encoders and circles of LEDs around them.
Sure thing. It’s on the boss website. I Googled boss me90 manual. Then when on the boss site the products are in alphabetical order. Go to the M and click on me90. I’ll see if I can find a direct link for you, but that’s the process in the meantime.👍
The Stonehenge Preset. “In ancient times, hundreds of years before human history, there lived an ancient people, Boss Engineers. No one knows who they were, or what they were doing, but their legacy remains, hewn into the ME-90”
Thanks! This has been a problem. But I get why. Let’s say you like a preset (and all the original ones are pre-loaded in the user section) but want to tweak some levels. Then you could go to Manual and make the adjustments and save them. The other way, admittedly better for Manual use, you can’t edit a preset on the fly (you can however do that on a computer or iPhone).
I am considering the Boss ME-90. However, I would like to know if you can use it also as MIDI controller for other amp sims such as TH-U, Neural DSP etc… ? Anyone could confirm that? Thank you.
@@the_guitar_generation FWD about one year later... I did purchase the ME-90 and it does work as midi controller using the usb cable. I can use it with amp sims like the wah pedal for example.
You have to plug it in via usb c. I just went through it myself. It’d be nice and convenient if you could do it that way. Thanks for watching and your support😎🎸
One last Q! I've a fender tonemaster deluxe reverb which has no FX input and I've been seeing a lot of other channels talking about using the 4 cable method to get optimal tone from the ME-90, but you can't do that without the FX Input - Have you any info on using the ME-90 in amps without an FX Input - does it make a real diff? This is all new to me !
@@brianmcdermott3162 actually, I prefer to use it as a straight pedalboard straight into the input of the amp and bypass the preamps and just use all the effects. So yes, go for it!🎸👍
Got you, that's what I was thinking. Assume it's just a matter of switching to manual to bypass the pre-amp? I just received my ME-90 yesterday! @@the_guitar_generation
Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I connect the ME-90 to Boss Tone Studio on my computer?! For 20 years I worked only with cubes and this is a problem for me! I downloaded the application, the drivers, everything that is on the boss's site, I connected it to the USB, but there is no connection to the Me-90, it does not work!!?
Good morning. I ask for help regarding the ME 90. Trying the delays: MODULATE, WARM, TAPE, ANALOG, STANDARD and also the one in the EQ/FX2 part, they are practically all the same and not even a stereo one. Is this the case or did they give me a defective pedal board? I've been using Boss pedals for a long time but never with this limit. Thank you and greetings. G.
Are the effects and tones from this unit any better than those found on the old Cube XL amps? Just wondering because I am using a Marshall Origin 20 head and cab and I’m wondering if this would sound good. When I occasionally plug in to my old Cube 40xl it sounds like a toy. But that might be the speaker, cab and various other factors.
Thanks for watching! Yes, much better than the old cube amps. I would check it out for sure. Check out the other me90 videos on the channel to hear more examples. I hope you consider subscribing for other videos. 👍😎🎸
Thanks. Have had any success finding a good boost option for solos while using it in manual mode? Like you I want to use the ME-90 as a stompbox pedal board.
Thank you so much! The manual is definitely a bunch of crap! You explained exactly what I wanted to know. I want my knobs to stay the same as before I turned off the unit. Why Roland choose to default to their preset I have no idea! Makes no sense.
Unfortunately, no. It’s a receiver, so you can send Spotify or whatever music source through the unit to practice with regular headphones plugged into it, for example
Yeah, I don't appreciate someone saying that the manual isn't helpful because the manual already explained this for a while now. I mean, I appreciate this video so that you can help people figure out where this is coming from, but all these parameters you got them right out of the Bosch reference guide so I don't understand how you're saying the reference guide isn't helpful when it literally helped you figure this out
@@oneeyedcat6690 maybe you’re taking this too personally? Anyway, I was referring to the paper manual with the product not the online version. And having said that, even the online version wasn’t very clear. And many others felt the same way if you go through the other comments. I do however appreciate your point of view and your comment. So thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy your me90!👍🎸
@@the_guitar_generation the manual works fine for me. Maybe you should've said "for me" instead of acting like no one can use the paper manual? I'd rather get the paper manual, like Boss products, than having to track down the PDF, even if I use both just in different settings.
@@oneeyedcat6690 fair point. Let’s keep things in perspective though. This is an off the cuff, zero budget home video trying to help. Not a professionally run studio production with professional edits and a budget. Just something to keep in mind🤓👍 I know we’re all used to seeing these big budget UA-cam channels that are almost the same quality as TV production that we used to watching but bottom line is I’m just some dude like you on a very small channel just throwing in my two cents.
@24-7Guitars That doesn't stop you from being fair in your criticism by saying you don't like the manual rather than saying or implying that it doesn't work for anyone. My comments had nothing to do with the quality of your video. And to be fair, your videos are higher in quality than mine. All I was saying is that some find it helpful. I found your video helpful in terms of that one setting. I just found it sort of odd to act like the manual helps no one because the answer you provided is in the manual.
@@oneeyedcat6690 ok. Well like I said, I appreciate your perspective and I also admit to making mistakes all the time and not being perfect. We can just strive to keep improving, and I’ll keep this in mind for future videos.👍
I wonder how many ME users actually use presets…ME peeps seem to be old school ‘physical pedal’ guys/gals. I tried the Headrush route for a year, but went back to my ME-70. I like to be able to reach down and turn a knob mid song if something is off. Excited to get the ME-90.
ME 50 🤔hey man, I haven't even opened mine yet, but I am pretty sure that U1 and whatever, would be user settings and P1/whatever would be presets already installed. If not, well that is just backwards. Also, this is the first review that I have heard of this issue at all. Kind of weird bro. 😬
Love your videos, really appreciate you making stuff like this. I've been playing with the ME90 for a week now and was equally annoyed by this out-of-the-box setting so your video really helped. Then I found this guy: ua-cam.com/video/8wh4zILQTUo/v-deo.html with the older unit explain how he dials in his main tones on a user pre-set (clean, breakup, distortion, etc) on the 4 pedals and then clicks into manual mode to add MODs on the fly in the song. I thought this was an interesting way to use the multi-fx and the first time I saw it on YT so figured I'd flag it up in case anyone was curious as to why boss sets things up this way. Maybe it's obvious to others but it confused me !
Eternally grateful for this - I was just starting to think my ME-90 was faulty and I was going to have to send it back.

Once I get my amp shipped to me I’ll be able to mess with it and get back to you. Sorry! It was a little while ago. I was just tryin to see what the preamp sounded like if I plugged into a simple power amp or maybe even a powered speaker. It did actually sound pretty good.
Great video my good man... before I saw this video of yours my new ME-90 was driving me crazy by jumping all over the place, you have solved this for me now.. Many Thanks 🖒😎🎸
That’s awesome! Really happy to hear that😎👍🎸
@@the_guitar_generation I am a Tutor of both Bass and Guitar for many a year and always tell the Students " Every day we learn something new".. even me 😉, so thanks for proving me right.
I will also now recommend your videos to them 😁
Is there a simpler pedal thats similar to this? This is just too confusing for me to try to use in manual mode, I thought it would be so much easier.
Don’t get discouraged, it is actually very simple to use in manual mode. You just need to make a small adjustment to make it easier (as described in this video). It’s really very much like just using some stomp boxes. Go to a music store and give it a shot.👍
Hi, I just use it in manual mode but I’ve found a couple of user presets that I love. I’d like to take the preset settings to show up in manual mode so I can tweak them for live playing. Can you help? Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
@@conartist267 hmmm that’s a tough one! I have created a few presets that I use along with manual mode. Which sounds are you trying to achieve?
@@the_guitar_generation Thanks for getting back. Soaring lead tones mainly. The U1-3 is a typical example.
Thanks. Other problem : when I am in distorsion (OD DS) impossible to increase the volume with boost (on EQ FX2). The boost works only in clean. If someone has an idea to fix that…
That’s a strange one. Is this when playing through an amp or direct through the unit / headphones or a speaker etc?
@@the_guitar_generation playing through an amp. I you have the ME90 you can see that. The boost increases the drive but not the volume
@@jeanprune3255 that actually depends on how you have the amp set up. Which amp are you playing through? It may be that there isn’t any headroom left in the amp if it’s already maxed out for volume. For me, the boost does give extra volume if there’s still headroom left in the amp and the gaind drive is set to about unity volume or just above the amp volume
The presets are interesting on my ME80, but I live in manual mode. They don't have any ME90's at the local music stores, can you tell me are the amp sounds noticably better and more dynamic?
I can’t say, I haven’t played an me80. Sorry!

Great video, thanks!

Thanks for that, that pre-set was annoying, great tip, and well explained.
Really glad it helped! I agree, very annoying. Hope you consider subscribing for more me90 and guitar vids. Thanks for watching and your support🎸😎👍
Thanks for the video , its really helpful..I bought bt dual adaptor but can't stream music through this.. only I could do edit the presets through the app. Could you please let me know how to solve this !!
Thanks, this was really useful.
I bought my ME-90 two weeks ago and have been fiddling around the settings in a more or less puzzled state since. So this really helps. Now I just need to find out why the overdrive pedal sometimes just doesn't seem to create overdrive. But I'm sure there's a similar trick out there.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped👍 that’s strange about the overdrive pedal. Which overdrives are you using?
@@the_guitar_generation Thanks for your reply. Well, several times now when I switch on the overdrive pedal of the ME-90, the sound remains basically free of distortion (whereas the other effects work). But I get it to work after turning all the knobs. I will check the settings as you explain in your video, hopefully this will solve the issue. 🙂
@@cismercier8009 yes, it sounds like you need to change the universal setting to manual as I show in the video. It must be going to a predetermined user preset setting.
Me too. The technology is fantastic but they need a simple A, B, C…manual to walk you through everything.
Thanks for the video. Could you do one, where you dial in some tones that you would use?
That’s next my friend! Thanks for watching😎🎸
When I take mine out of the box,
I want to set up the ME90 so that
all of my patches are to always retain
the volume levels that I set them
at , when created, and when later
adjusted by me, is there a video on how
to accomplish or solve 'JUST' this issue?
How do you use FX2? I want use t. wah up and octave at the same time, but they are on the same knob. Isn’t there a way to get fx2 to do the octave?
I’ll have to look into that. I agree, that would be a very useful feature! Unfortunately I think you can only use it for reverb or the fx loop. I’m out of town at the moment but I’ll check it out when I return. Thanks for watching and the support 🎸😎👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
LoL, my pleasure! Thanks for watching and your support. I hope you subscribe and check out more videos. 👍😎🎸
@@the_guitar_generation subscribed 👍 man, I just bought the ME90 and those knobs were driving me nuts. I was like "where did that sound go." I began to confuse myself as to whether red light was preset or blue 😂
@@presentelaw I know, I felt the same way at frist!
Thanks for the video. Recently got mine. Manual is not so good all over the place and missing critical info. It would be nice if they included a companion manual with all the parameters like you explained. I'm still trying to figure out how to save a preset ? I'll check your other videos for a how to, Thanks again😎
I agree! But it is available online on their website. As for saving a preset, I’ll make a video about that and put it up shortly. It’s mainly about choosing where you want to save it and pushing the write button
Just located the Parameter guide on the website. Thanks!@@the_guitar_generation
@@grooveu1965 awesome! Let
Me know how it works out. I just saved a bunch of acoustic presets and took it out to an open mic.
I'm still looking how to save the sounds not sure is a little confused
I’ll make a quick video this week if I can for you. Make sure you look out for it
This is Sooooo helpful!!!! Question: Where can I find the description for "d1, b0, c1, etc" when editing on Manual Mode? THANKS AGAIN for this video. You are a life saver 🙏🏼
SAME
Ugh, those cryptic codes! I hope an ME-100 has meaningful text displays, and really nice would be to have rotary encoders and circles of LEDs around them.
You are my hero!

Hi. Can you connect from the Bluetooth adapter to a DAW wirelessly to record? Is there any latency?
That’s a good question. I haven’t tried. All I’ve used it for is to connect my phone for jam tracks etc. I’ll look into it
Thanks
@@the_guitar_generation
Hi Lorne, thanks for your video. Please can you tell us where you found the info of this "codes"?
Sure thing. It’s on the boss website. I Googled boss me90 manual. Then when on the boss site the products are in alphabetical order. Go to the M and click on me90. I’ll see if I can find a direct link for you, but that’s the process in the meantime.👍

The Stonehenge Preset. “In ancient times, hundreds of years before human history, there lived an ancient people, Boss Engineers. No one knows who they were, or what they were doing, but their legacy remains, hewn into the ME-90”
LoL🤣🤣🤣
haha!😂
How fix back my boss me 90. My Bank patch is not on standby mode.??😢
Thanks! This has been a problem. But I get why. Let’s say you like a preset (and all the original ones are pre-loaded in the user section) but want to tweak some levels. Then you could go to Manual and make the adjustments and save them. The other way, admittedly better for Manual use, you can’t edit a preset on the fly (you can however do that on a computer or iPhone).
Anyone know if you can connect your guitar to the ME-90 wirelessly and the ME-90 wirelessly to the amp?
It would require using separate wireless systems
Thanks, so using a Boss wireless or similar system x 2 - one for guitar to ME-90 and one from ME-90 to the Amp? @@the_guitar_generation
I am considering the Boss ME-90. However, I would like to know if you can use it also as MIDI controller for other amp sims such as TH-U, Neural DSP etc… ? Anyone could confirm that? Thank you.
Nope, it’s not a midi controller. Thanks for watching the video! I hope you consider subscribing for more guitar videos and content 😎👍🎸
@@the_guitar_generation FWD about one year later... I did purchase the ME-90 and it does work as midi controller using the usb cable. I can use it with amp sims like the wah pedal for example.
Do you know if you can update the ME-90 software via Bluetooth from the tone studio app on an iphone or does it have to be via laptop?
You have to plug it in via usb c. I just went through it myself. It’d be nice and convenient if you could do it that way. Thanks for watching and your support😎🎸
Thanks for the confirmation. Really appreciate the work you put in here. @@the_guitar_generation
One last Q! I've a fender tonemaster deluxe reverb which has no FX input and I've been seeing a lot of other channels talking about using the 4 cable method to get optimal tone from the ME-90, but you can't do that without the FX Input - Have you any info on using the ME-90 in amps without an FX Input - does it make a real diff? This is all new to me !
@@brianmcdermott3162 actually, I prefer to use it as a straight pedalboard straight into the input of the amp and bypass the preamps and just use all the effects. So yes, go for it!🎸👍
Got you, that's what I was thinking. Assume it's just a matter of switching to manual to bypass the pre-amp? I just received my ME-90 yesterday! @@the_guitar_generation
Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I connect the ME-90 to Boss Tone Studio on my computer?! For 20 years I worked only with cubes and this is a problem for me! I downloaded the application, the drivers, everything that is on the boss's site, I connected it to the USB, but there is no connection to the Me-90, it does not work!!?
I know this may seem silly, but have you tried uninstalling all other boss apps and reinstalling them and connecting via the cable?
@@the_guitar_generation I will try to do it this way. Thanks
Is it possible to make the expression pedal more sensitive to the touch to activate wah-wah or freeze function?
Good question! I’m really not sure. I don’t think so, but I’ll look into it.👍 thanks for watching and supporting the channel🎸🎸
Do you know why my fx pedals controls my volume and the pedal fx lights wont turn on anymore
Good morning. I ask for help regarding the ME 90. Trying the delays: MODULATE, WARM, TAPE, ANALOG, STANDARD and also the one in the EQ/FX2 part, they are practically all the same and not even a stereo one. Is this the case or did they give me a defective pedal board? I've been using Boss pedals for a long time but never with this limit. Thank you and greetings.
G.
Strange! The tone of the delays are definitely different. What are you playing it through?
but is there a stereo of the deals I mentioned?
thanks for this video, this issue was very frustrating for me.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and your support👍🎸

Thankd for taking the time to respond.
brilliant video. thanks.
Are the effects and tones from this unit any better than those found on the old Cube XL amps? Just wondering because I am using a Marshall Origin 20 head and cab and I’m wondering if this would sound good. When I occasionally plug in to my old Cube 40xl it sounds like a toy. But that might be the speaker, cab and various other factors.
Thanks for watching! Yes, much better than the old cube amps. I would check it out for sure. Check out the other me90 videos on the channel to hear more examples. I hope you consider subscribing for other videos. 👍😎🎸

Can this also be done in Tone Studio?
Yes, I believe it can. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Have had any success finding a good boost option for solos while using it in manual mode? Like you I want to use the ME-90 as a stompbox pedal board.
@@mfohr yes, I use the boost in the eq section to give it a lift for my solos👍

yup, t\it's strange how they set this thing up. thanks for watching!
Nice Little Kiddy Popups!
Thank you so much! The manual is definitely a bunch of crap! You explained exactly what I wanted to know. I want my knobs to stay the same as before I turned off the unit. Why Roland choose to default to their preset I have no idea! Makes no sense.
So I can use Bluetooth headphones also
Unfortunately, no. It’s a receiver, so you can send Spotify or whatever music source through the unit to practice with regular headphones plugged into it, for example
Yeah, I don't appreciate someone saying that the manual isn't helpful because the manual already explained this for a while now. I mean, I appreciate this video so that you can help people figure out where this is coming from, but all these parameters you got them right out of the Bosch reference guide so I don't understand how you're saying the reference guide isn't helpful when it literally helped you figure this out
@@oneeyedcat6690 maybe you’re taking this too personally? Anyway, I was referring to the paper manual with the product not the online version. And having said that, even the online version wasn’t very clear. And many others felt the same way if you go through the other comments. I do however appreciate your point of view and your comment. So thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy your me90!👍🎸
@@the_guitar_generation the manual works fine for me. Maybe you should've said "for me" instead of acting like no one can use the paper manual? I'd rather get the paper manual, like Boss products, than having to track down the PDF, even if I use both just in different settings.
@@oneeyedcat6690 fair point. Let’s keep things in perspective though. This is an off the cuff, zero budget home video trying to help. Not a professionally run studio production with professional edits and a budget. Just something to keep in mind🤓👍 I know we’re all used to seeing these big budget UA-cam channels that are almost the same quality as TV production that we used to watching but bottom line is I’m just some dude like you on a very small channel just throwing in my two cents.
@24-7Guitars That doesn't stop you from being fair in your criticism by saying you don't like the manual rather than saying or implying that it doesn't work for anyone. My comments had nothing to do with the quality of your video. And to be fair, your videos are higher in quality than mine. All I was saying is that some find it helpful. I found your video helpful in terms of that one setting. I just found it sort of odd to act like the manual helps no one because the answer you provided is in the manual.
@@oneeyedcat6690 ok. Well like I said, I appreciate your perspective and I also admit to making mistakes all the time and not being perfect. We can just strive to keep improving, and I’ll keep this in mind for future videos.👍
I wonder how many ME users actually use presets…ME peeps seem to be old school ‘physical pedal’ guys/gals.
I tried the Headrush route for a year, but went back to my ME-70. I like to be able to reach down and turn a knob mid song if something is off. Excited to get the ME-90.
That’s definitely the category I fall into! I will give it a try with some presets though. Never too old to learn new tricks- or am I? LoL🤣🎸👍
I like both I just hate hidden settings menus. That's why I like the me series so much.
Presets - Seems like the ME-90 presets were copied form the ME-80 presets. Need I have to say the presets suck.
@@JE-western-rider almost all presets suck. They are overblown examples
Great tutorial, just the little pictures popping up are a bit annoying

LoL, it’s a special gift!🤣👍
ME 50 🤔hey man, I haven't even opened mine yet, but I am pretty sure that U1 and whatever, would be user settings and P1/whatever would be presets already installed. If not, well that is just backwards. Also, this is the first review that I have heard of this issue at all. Kind of weird bro. 😬
LoL🤣🤣
😊
Basically need to be a NASA scientist to use this thing. I sort of regret buying it! Great vid though
Have mercy 😢
it's not too bad
Love your videos, really appreciate you making stuff like this. I've been playing with the ME90 for a week now and was equally annoyed by this out-of-the-box setting so your video really helped. Then I found this guy: ua-cam.com/video/8wh4zILQTUo/v-deo.html with the older unit explain how he dials in his main tones on a user pre-set (clean, breakup, distortion, etc) on the 4 pedals and then clicks into manual mode to add MODs on the fly in the song. I thought this was an interesting way to use the multi-fx and the first time I saw it on YT so figured I'd flag it up in case anyone was curious as to why boss sets things up this way. Maybe it's obvious to others but it confused me !
Thanks for watching and your support! Glad you like the videos👍👍😎🎸
