Scott Graves, of the On Track Music Guitar School, guides you through the basic features of the Boss ME-70 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor. www.ontrackguitar.com
Being an old school player, I was always a stomp box kind of guy, got an ME 70 a few years ago, just could not figure how to use it. Thank you for this video, well explained and I think I will re dust my unit and start using it.
Out of the many reviews I watched this one definitely met expectations because you focus on demonstrating the sounds and that is what musicians need. Sound.
Yes, you can ad modulation to distortion and there are a couple of different option for setting a lead boost. That is one of the coolest things about the unit.
Just bought a used ME-70 for less than half the original list price the previous owner had it less than 1 year He wanted a newer model so my gain !!! I love this thing
I just got one to go with ibanez tone blaster100r and my Jackson great vid lots of useful stuff love the sandals better trademark it fore someone else does
I am thinking of buying a used one for myself!I want it for some gigs I have to do,someone is selling it to me in great condition for 140€ !Do you think I should go for it?Thanks!
Tavlas Thats the same sound i like. I would go for it. I have done much research on the boss ME series. I have not bought one yet. I plan on buying the me 80 next week.
Hi, I was wondering if and how you can use the delay when you are using the loops phraser, can you create a loop and let it play then you can turn the knob to your desired delay settings ? Thanks in advance.
I've had mine forn3 months and I still can't figure out how to use the wah, it stays a volume pedal nomatter what lever you pull or secret spell to fling at it
hey! How do you think it'll sound if I use a Epiphone Special with headphones on this ME 70? Currently I own Philips phones although I wanna upgrade to professional ones.
Hallo I'm a guitarist and using boss guitar effect model me-70. But of recent i have been experiencing problem with the Gadget the saved programs are keep on changing without Being assigned.it starts with program number 1 and changing To number 70 randomly.that means sounds changes uncontrollably while playing.if someone has experienced such problem and solved It please help me out. I leave in Daresalaam tanzania East Africa where we dont have an authorized dealers. thx guys
hi. i have a question my expression pedal so soft that when i just touch it the position change from volume to wha wha. I Saw that you press hard to change the position. how to do that thing?
hello ontrackmaster, is the main output level knob's value doesn't get displayed in display panel??? i'm quite confused?? all other knob's value gets displayed in display panel!!! is it normal?? can u help me??
I have a big question... my girlfriend has a pedal like this, she just bought an adaptor for it and it works. The problem is that you can't hear anything from it, and yes, the guitar is plugged in the pedal and the pedal is plugged in the amp. Here's the question, do you need some special amp for this pedal or something else?
Have a question. My son has one of those modeling amps. Fender Mustang 3. Is this something he can use with that too. What setting would he put it to to use the pedal.
The modeling amps do a lot of stuff already. He can either leave the amp on a straight clean sound and use the distortions from the ME70 or he can use the distortions from the amp and use the other effects from the pedal (EQ, chorus/modulation, delays, etc). You just have to be careful about applying distortion sounds from the pedal on top of distortions sounds from the amp. It's easy to get out of control with a lot of feedback etc. when doing so. It can be done, but it takes some experimenting to get the type of sounds that appeal to your individual tastes.
G5 isn't a bad unit honestly. G5 features a newer chip than the old g2.1u and they sound better. But it's a matter of preference. I got the ME-70 in the end though.
Anyone noticed how the Rotary, Uni -V, Tremolo and Vibrato all start at quick rates even though the dial is on very low? Then you adjust it up, then down to get slow rate. Flanger etc, all no problem.
TheJofrica YUP. I'm not too technically minded, but somehow E-15 on the front page of the manual caught my attention. Seemed to realise I should read it haha. Yeah, it's down to the EZ tone. I like EZ as it gives distortions a professional finish.
Noodles37UK Sweet, yeah the EZ tones are instant fun. Great little machine, it's gotten me through a lot of church gigs, and I've learned a lot about effects from it (that was my original purpose, to learn basic effects) :)
Just wondering is it possible to have multiple channels on at the same time? i.e distortion on with modulation... And also perhaps a distortion tone and have a solo boost switch aswell?
Sounds cheap like he's running it strait into a ghetto box. I had two of the older BOSS multi FX like this. When I upgraded to my ZOOM G 9.2tt the pre amp instantly sounded better. Now I'm wondering if the Zoom G5 is even better
theguitarboy2212 you have to press the od/ds switch and the modulation switch at the same time. also, press the comp switch and the od/ds switch the same time to switch to preset mode vice versa.
I have the me-70, works fine for me. I think the me-80 has USB capability but the me-70 does not. I think the voices might be very close, i.e., not a major upgrade in terms of tones
Why the hell does everyone solo when demoing gear? Give me a friggin' riff, it's what I'm going to be playing like 90% of the time, soloes are just decorations
Отличный, превосходный обзор. Ничего лишнего-всё просто и понятно. Не хочешь ли помочь бедному русскому музыканту, который заканчивает школу? Этот процессор стоит одну зарплату моего отца, так как я живу в россии. Поэтому купить его не представляется возможным...И мне работать сейчас негде, ведь это россия...Сможешь помочь как-нибудь?
+Various Things I have one for some years now and i use it regularly for live situations and recording and it´s a very good addition to my pedals. It does not sound horrible at all if you know how to use it. May not be the best sounding amp simulations and tones on the market, but far from horrible. It´s actually a very useful handy unit.
+snake Hi Snake. Seing as no one has bothered to reply. I found out today that there is a noise suppressor. There is a buttom N/S THRES/BANK. The N/S THRES is the noise suppressor threshold button.
+Chilli Stephenson thanks for the reply dude, i ended up going for the zoom g3, due to the size of the pedal. still i would love to get a boss me70 or me80 one day
"So i can tune my guitar if wanna tune my guitar this up here is a guitar tuner and I can tune it up and tell me whether I'm in tune"
cracked me up a little xD

Great sandals and toes review!
Out of the many reviews I watched this one definitely met expectations because you focus on demonstrating the sounds and that is what musicians need. Sound.
Just bought one of these second hand and this was a good walk through video to get me started.
Yes, you can ad modulation to distortion and there are a couple of different option for setting a lead boost. That is one of the coolest things about the unit.
EPIC SANDALS
Not so epic toenail
Just bought a used ME-70 for less than half the original list price the previous owner had it less than 1 year He wanted a newer model so my gain !!! I love this thing
Thank you for showing was very helpful
Nice demo cheers!
Bought one of these a week ago that was broken for £35. Cost me £9 to fix it.Great.
very good demo
very good message thank you so much ..
Main output level does not get displayed, but the levels for each individual effect and for the preamp section are displayed in the LED display.
awesome job love it. is there some way that you can record the a song and take it from your computer if you want?
I just got one to go with ibanez tone blaster100r and my Jackson great vid lots of useful stuff love the sandals better trademark it fore someone else does
cool dinamic demo ..thanks
I will go get one for sure! Thank you!
Michel Bérubé Did you get it? how did you like it?
Awesome Pedal!!! I found one on REVERB.COM for $300 CAN or $240 US
I am thinking of buying a used one for myself!I want it for some gigs I have to do,someone is selling it to me in great condition for 140€ !Do you think I should go for it?Thanks!
P.S I want some good clean sound,tuner ofc,some crunchy distortion for blues e.t.c and MAYBE psychedelic sounds(but thats optional)
Tavlas Thats the same sound i like. I would go for it. I have done much research on the boss ME series. I have not bought one yet. I plan on buying the me 80 next week.
What kind of strat did you use in this video.Btw nice demo Scott!
thank you thank you thank you.....
Hi, I was wondering if and how you can use the delay when you are using the loops phraser, can you create a loop and let it play then you can turn the knob to your desired delay settings ? Thanks in advance.
I have seen so many videos that just talk. Thanks for actually playing.
It's got voicings ( like Peter Frampton;s "Do you Feel Like We Do")- "Sweeeeze, squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze!"
I use the Boss PSA 120S Power Adaptor. It's a 9 volt.
I own this Pedal BOSS rules!
I've had mine forn3 months and I still can't figure out how to use the wah, it stays a volume pedal nomatter what lever you pull or secret spell to fling at it
I have a question that you perhaps can answer :)
Is it possible to record with the phrase looper with chorus AND delay at the same time?
Hi...is it OK to connect directly to mixer instead of an amp? Using the preamp/cabinet simulators built in?
Would you pick this Boss ME-70 over the Digitech RP1000? And why?
What about the solo switch like on the ME-25?
hey! How do you think it'll sound if I use a Epiphone Special with headphones on this ME 70? Currently I own Philips phones although I wanna upgrade to professional ones.
Simplistic review, didn't touch on presets, banks, the inputs/outputs or extension pedal. ME70 does more than he shows here, great unit imho.
I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/
Would you recommend this some jazz gigs?
one question, can i register sounds by computer for the loop?
what kinda adapter are you using .?? and what are its output milliamperes ?
help me how to connect that effect to amp and guitar i bought it but i vant use it help me pls
Can you have an overdrive and distortion on at once?
Hallo
I'm a guitarist and using boss guitar effect model me-70.
But of recent i have been experiencing problem with the
Gadget the saved programs are keep on changing without
Being assigned.it starts with program number 1 and changing
To number 70 randomly.that means sounds changes uncontrollably
while playing.if someone has experienced such problem and solved
It please help me out.
I leave in Daresalaam tanzania East Africa
where we dont have an authorized dealers.
thx guys
hi. i have a question
my expression pedal so soft that when i just touch it the position
change from volume to wha wha.
I Saw that you press hard to change the position.
how to do that thing?
Anyone know an easy way to "equalize" the volumes, so I don't have to worry about adjusting the volume (foot pedal) each time I switch effects?
hello ontrackmaster, is the main output level knob's value doesn't get displayed in display panel??? i'm quite confused?? all other knob's value gets displayed in display panel!!! is it normal?? can u help me??
how long does the looper record?
can u like record your guitar using the me 70?
Nice
what is the other pedal thats attach to it
the newer models I hear is going to have a mini Wawa volume pedal that fits your big toe
Will this work on a cube 40 amp??????
does it have the superstack button like the boss me25 which is awesome ,,cheers
Stack, tweed, combo, rectifier, more! I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/

Line 6 FireHawk or Boss ME 70?

Thanks.
i have exactly the same amp and pedal. i use channel 2 preset without the reverb.
What amp r u using?
this , a gt 10 or 100 or a line 6 hd ???
The sandals make the video better 😂😂💯❤
G5 isn't a bad unit honestly. G5 features a newer chip than the old g2.1u and they sound better. But it's a matter of preference. I got the ME-70 in the end though.
Why sounding in very right side of the ear ?
Why Preamp doesn't use?
Anyone noticed how the Rotary, Uni -V, Tremolo and Vibrato all start at quick rates even though the dial is on very low? Then you adjust it up, then down to get slow rate. Flanger etc, all no problem.
Could be like the EZ Tone preset setting putting it at that speed to start off?

Is it a usb output and a recording software like the Me-25?
saddly no :(
tune tune tune tune tune tuuuuuning
is that better than zoom g5?
does the pedal have a built in compressor n noise gate ??
Yep! I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/
mine does the same - I assume it's normal but a bit weird...
nuce
is the phrase trainer is like a looper?
Louie Cabral yes it is, he just use other term to make it sound fancy.
I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/
why not play with the intelligent harmonizer? i think thats the coolest effect on there.
Digital Insan1ty that’s literally why I Came to this video. I don’t fully understand how to use it yet
the pre can be desactivated?
Yes!
Warum sind die presets nicht gleich gut eingestellt .stundenlanges testen was klingt.
hey i hav d same thing wid me but i'm not satisfied by it can you help me with some tone ??
Yes!
1971SuperLead how to make good clean tones wid chorus n d phasor
1971SuperLead sorry dude ur comment was deleted by a mistake.
Can u plz give me facebook profile name ???

Ronas77 yes

schöne sandalen.......fun...
Why my me-70 doesnt sound so great like yours?
I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/
should i get me-70 or me-80? are they almost the same??
and also im confused on how you turn on the tuner in the distortion switch.
theguitarboy2212 you have to press the od/ds switch and the modulation switch at the same time. also, press the comp switch and the od/ds switch the same time to switch to preset mode vice versa.
I have the me-70, works fine for me. I think the me-80 has USB capability but the me-70 does not. I think the voices might be very close, i.e., not a major upgrade in terms of tones
theguitarboy2212 the me80 hands down
put some socks on with those jesus creepers

Why the hell does everyone solo when demoing gear? Give me a friggin' riff, it's what I'm going to be playing like 90% of the time, soloes are just decorations
hey i named my son blues solo you ass hole
no answer
"Men who wear sandals get what they deserve" - Jesus
the amp is so quiet, the string noise straight from the guitar is masking the sound. hard to hear any quality at all.
ha! the voice effect is hilarious
hehe, It's like "oii - yay - oii - yay..."
i want to get one for christmas but my guitar store only has 3 left and my mother isnt sure what it really is.
saidoterodiseno It's a really good choice; I have it :) It's really solid and easy to use.
Yyyyyy

hearing the unplugged sound of the guitar is quite annoying
Boss is better hands down
I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/
It sounds terrible!

it doesn't. the sound isn't loud and you cannot hear clear the sound :))
Carlo Guarrera man I have to agree
I used to have the ME-30 but later I got this and started making all my vids! \m/
Dont blame the pedal for sounding bad its the mic hes recording the video through that makes it sound so rough.
does the pedal have a built in compressor n noise gate ??
+snake
Hi Snake. Seing as no one has bothered to reply. I found out today that there is a noise suppressor. There is a buttom N/S THRES/BANK. The N/S THRES is the noise suppressor threshold button.
