    I just ordered one. I was scared that in 2023, anything being produced anymore with modern sound quality would be some touch screen, deep menu driven nightmare. As usual, BOSS delivered. THANK YOU for making a quality sounding multieffect that doesn't work like a freaking iPad.

    Dagan I was waiting on your review before I purchased the Boss ME90 to replace my ME80 and I'm sold brother. Sorry I couldn't order from PMT as I'm USA based and had to purchase from a USA based company but it was you sir who convinced me to upgrade. Love your content and thank you for all the wonderful reviews. Hopefully PMT will come to the USA in the future. Cheers!!

    Dagan's channeling Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 12:25 "Come with me...and you'll see....Dagan's got M90 admiration........". This is the M80 Ive always wanted. I love Katana's but I forget what I have set unless I plug it into Tone Studio. I love my GX-100, except now I'm into menus and stuff, or obscured assignments for the switches, especially if you borrow or buy the occasional patch. This unit is the unholy union between an ME80 and a GX-100. Ill be setting a persistent search query in the US to find one when it drops here.

    Looking for my first pedal board to go with first Tube Amp (Marshall Origin 20). Research suggests I’d end up with a suite of Boss OD, Distortion pedals etc then this effectively provides all the necessary bang for buck. Easily slide it under the sofa when not in use and no array of pedal boxes and cables on the floor! Seems like a winner. Love the Reviews. 👍🏼

    Call me crazy but that "tune down" effect is where the selling point is of me 90. If more demoes show that it really does track well, then Im a buyer, no questions asked!

      @RiffMusic1970 Exactly! It's fuckin expensive. Used to own one once upon a time until I ended up with my Line 6 hx stomp and hx effects.
      Not to mention they'll climb in price since Digitechs fallout.
      And while I had the mesa boogie ii suite from Neural DSP in mind to purchase as my sound, looks like I might reconsider it for me 90. And potentially selling the hx stomp for one. Life is full of surprises lol

    I remember buying a couple of multi-effects units by Ibanez in 1983...2 years after their release in 1981. The UE 400 & the UE 405. They each had 4 effects plus an effects loop to place your own 5th pedal in the chain. A nice touch was that you could change the order of effects by turning a knob on each effect from 1 to 5. Built well too... a friend is still using his UE 400 to this day! This isn't the first video I've heard that Boss invented the multi-effects unit in 1985... but the Ibanez preceded them by a few years. Just some trivia to pass along. Cheers!!!

    • @vmx23
      @vmx23 5 місяців тому

      But the UE400 and UE405 is a rack unit. Not a fair comparison to an effects pedal unit.
      It seems BOSS did indeed make the first portable multi effects unit.
      Rack gear is not something you just throw in a bag and go.

    my opinion is a cropped version of the gt-1000, but the effects with effects control are brought to the panel for the convenience of working on stage, the sound is the same, but the possibilities are slightly less than in the gt-1000

    This will, IMHO, cannibalize on GX-100. Makes much more sense for a lesser price. While the touch screen on GX-100 is nice the whole UI feels like 2-gen old handheld gaming console.
    Hell, I just happily settled with Line6 Helix and now I'm thinking about getting back to BOSS because of ME-90. Even if just for backup
    EDIT: Also it will be very strong in similarly priced competition. Like Ampero, Valteon GP, Headrush MX5. It kinda boggles me that Boss didn't come up with something like this when the AIRD technology was brand new - with or few months after GT-1000

    great review. Overall a great update to this line of pedal and I will definitely be purchasing one in the near future. I particularly like the feedback function which I haven't seen before on a pedal and something I occasionally struggle with live depending on the room and setup at a gig. Even though it might be a little artificial, it's a cool feature that I can't wait to have a play with.

      I have a Helix too (owned it for about 3 or 4 weeks). Just was wondering about this thing because I was interested in it back when the ME-70 was the latest release, but I couldn't afford that at the time (broke college student days lol).
      I really like that the Helix has a GUI on it and can connect to the HX Edit app for easier preset creation. Wondering what the ME-90 is capable of in comparison. Probably won't get it since I already invested heavily into the Helix and it does what I need so far. If you end up getting this instead, please share your experience in comparison to the Helix though.

    Can the Detuner do momentary as well as latching?

      No, but you could use the S-Bend with ultra fast rise & fall settings to get the same effect.

    Is that "Centa OD" setting supposed to be like a Klon Centaur? He wasn't really clear but that's what I believe it is, and it sounded pretty good! As did the Big Muff, I would like to hear the Rat too! Its cool that they're modeling more specific overdrive sounds rather than 'Modern' 'Classic' and the like that appeared on the earlier MEs.
