    Just reading a few of your comments here - glad you like the pedal! Anyway...
    Yes you can put this through a PA (it has speaker emulation), yes it has a tuner built in, no I don't think the 4 cable method will work as the ME80 has no FX loop, and yes I agree - all the new Chapmans look badass!!

      Out of interest what is the four cable method?

    • @EclipseAtDusk
      @EclipseAtDusk 10 років тому +2

      chris burns It's when you put an amp in the effects loop of a multi effects unit, so that you can have your overdrives and distortions in front of the amplifier, and your modulations, delays, and reverbs are behind it - it puts the amp into the multi-effects signal path

    • @MatthewLim
      @MatthewLim 10 років тому +3

      chris burns The 4 cable method allows you to essentially put your "physical amp" (eg. Marshall DSL which has a good gain sound you wanna preserve) into the chain where the "amp modeling" goes. This allows you to do 2 things. Firstly you can use the delays and reverbs in the unit and yet still gun gain on your amp without the sound getting noisy, similar to placing the delay and reverb in the fx loop of your amp. Secondly it is possible, at least on the POD HD series to create a patch where the entire gain section of your amp is bypassed making it such that your sound is simply your fx unit (using your COSM amp model) into the speaker of your amp. This way you don't have the coloration of the amp's original sound.
      Hope this helps d: I'm sure there is a better explanation out there though ... involving pre amps and power amps .... this is just my layman understanding of it.

    • @MatthewLim
      @MatthewLim 10 років тому +4

      chris burns If you plan to use the gain on your amp and yet use the delays and reverbs you definitely want to use the 4 cable method alternatively you could place the FX unit in the fx loop of your amp (provided you're only using it for delays and reverbs). Placing delay and reverb infront of Gain is Very very noisy

    I bought this about a month ago and it's one of my favorite, least regrettable guitar purchases. First off, Lee said the batteries probably wouldn't last long, but I put Energizer batteries in it, and they're still working a month later. I'm amazed at just much bang I get for my buck. A lot of devices that offer lots of amp sims and effects are pretty mediocre sounding, but the ME-80 sounds great. It's basically every Boss pedal ever and a Boss Katana all on one pedal board for only $300. Pedals are great and all, but they can be a real pain to move around. I just wish I had found this before spending money on lots of pedals.

    “Megatron’s Foot”, sounds almost instantaneously like the name for a killer 80s retro band that was a homogeneous everything excellent about the decade from Tears for Fears to Def Leppard to Journey to Enya to Prince to Tina Turner to Lionel Richie to Kraftwerk - and everything in between!
    This demo has got me so tempted to try trading in my Line 6 Pod HD 500 for one of these. I have hitherto scarcely used the Pod and would think that this particular paddleboard would be much more user-friendly. In addition, it is battery powered.

    I've been playing the Boss Me-80 for about a year. I play a wide variety of stuff, but mostly blues. I went from using analog pedals with a tube amp to using the ME-80 with a solid state (for convenience reasons). The switch had me dissapointed in some regards at first as digital obviously does not respond to your playing the way analog does. But after adjusting my approach, it worked out great. It sounds very good. I do find myself constantly tinkering to try it make it sound more like an analog rig - which is never going to happen. Regardless it is really good. But I have 4 complaints. 1. I went from used a hall of fame2 reverb pedal before this and with the ME80, I am disappointed with the lack of control on reverb. It is pretty vanilla with one knob for reverb. I think they should treat reverb like a real effect and not an afterthought. Give me controls for reverb tone, level and decay, and some more reverb types. 2. The ME-80 has a built in cabinet simulator and it sounds much better when it is on than when it is off. The only way to turn it on is by plugging something into the headphone jack. This is just dumb. They should at least have a switch in the Tonestudio software or menus. When I gig, I plug the ME80 straight into the PA (no amp) and have to put a dummy plug in the headphone jack to turn on the cab-sim. They should just include the Cab and Air-feel options that are on the Katana. 3. I hope that they can improve on the overdrive section. It's not bad, it's just underwhelming compared to the other effects. The drive that comes out of the gain on the amp models is Soo much better than what is in the drive section. Then issue is that the amp drive reacts to your playing much better, while the drives don't react at all, so they sound fake. 4. Not so much a complaint, but I would love if they can replace the current EQ section with a 10band graphic eq. I've never found myself having to use FX3. I only use EQ and would love to have better control of the frequencies.

      hey I’ve got a question , do you know if you can re-arrange the chain sequence of the pedals and if so how?
      I’ve got the ME-80 PC software and on that when I load up patches sometimes the sequence is in a different order. This is causing me issues as a pedal sequence patch will sound different depending on which one I choose , and sometimes the placement where a pedal should be in thechain is the wrong place

    • @TheDilligan
      @TheDilligan 3 роки тому

      ​@@stephenlennartz3466 I've plugged it into an interface and I've also used the USB connection. USB connection works great for recording. If you are using it live into a PA or recording, just make sure you PLUG SOMETHING IN THE HEADPHONE JACK. Even if you are using the 1/4 in output. The Cab simulation won't turn on unless you stick a plug into the headphone jack. It's the most stupid feature. I can't believe they don't just have a switch for it. But it'll make you DI sound so much better.

  • @DS-fi4hf
    @DS-fi4hf 8 років тому +27

    I use the me80 only for FX through my amp's FX loop. Aside from the distortions, the sound quality on this device is actually quite good. There's some FX that aren't so great, but overall, it's a fantastic piece of gear, and there's a lot you can do with it. The delays, looper, and volume pedal alone justify the price. I know what I'm talking about, because I've owned several top end individual pedals. Btw, If you look up the reviews on this, you'll see that 95% of people who own it say the same thing.

      2. the OD/DT Pedal. On that one you can choose which gain effect you want. more dist or more OD.... it lets you tweak between these two and even find a good in between sound. The ME boards wont let you do that. OD or Dist! but not both

    Wow Boss have really outdone themselves here! Ofcourse there's the matter wether you like the distortions and if it tonesucks your amp. Really depending on the gear and ear you have. But that asides, doubling up the pedals like this is brilliant. And the possibility to have a volume and wah pedal, an eq to either midboost or scoop (my choice, works brilliant as a go to for clean and more 'metally' parts) depending on your taste and a boost and a drive pedal and reverb and delay and a modulation of choice under your foot not counting the tuner and the possibility to vary all of the above by selecting a new preset..........under 250. Who cannot applaude? Depending on the tonesuck adding a decent amplifier and/or a good additional drivepedal is gonna provide more than 95% of guitarist will ever need gigging.

      I'm torn between this (ME80) ... and going with the Strymon Iridium with my existing collection of pedals. I never would have considered the ME80 ... but I recently saw a phenomenal guitarist/vocalist with backing tracks using one of these at a winery and he killed it! GREAT sound direct to the board. No amp to haul around. Hmmmm. Decisions.

    I use a Boss ME/50B bass processor every weekend,which covers everything i can ever use for bass tones..Boss make bulletproof gear but the "pedal snobs" always give them shit,even though they were once "top shelf." A funky paint job,mini toggles,& a hard bypass don't a great pedal make!

      I am very unhappy with this me-80 pedal hard to set different sounds. Rather just use the build in effects on my 100W Fender Champion amp.Very disappointed, Will go back to just using crybaby and distortion pedal.

    Lee,
    When I hear you play, it inspires me and shows me that I can get to be a respectable player. When I first started exploring guitar and started watching your channel, i can remember you lacked confidence and played very basic stuff.
    You have gotten really good and I really enjoy listening to your playing now. I’ve got hope that someday I’ll get there as well.
    I can play acoustic fingerstyle ok but I’m not there with a pick and especially on an electric guitar. But I will get there. Thanks for inspiration.

  • @nestorborgio2995
    @nestorborgio2995 6 років тому

    Just got mine. Considering the price this is a very decent piece of equipment. I only play every once in awhile when I have time as a pastime. I got it on sale at Guitar Center for $250 bucks and it definitely is a huge upgrade from my old Zoom G2.1u that I payed $200 for about 12 years ago. Hey it's a Boss, made by Roland so I think it's the best bang for your buck unless you're a pro and want to spend several thousands on an Eventide.

    @dian08162 10 років тому

    I have the the ME-70 and it has never let me down on a gig and is really impressive with sound quality( not sounding digital at all) and ease of use but... it could have been much better if they spent more time playing with it . The ME-80 solves most of the ME-70's flaws like separating the pre-amps from the EQ section and also being able to add 2 mods on one patch. Personally I would have wanted the Phrase looper to be on a separate section(both ME-70 and 80) because you still can't use other delay effects (except for the standard one) with the looper and that just sucks if you want to be experimental. And because of its position in the delay section the reverb affects your recorded loop so you can't have 2 different reverbs in the looper at the same time(Reverb is wired after the delay section in ME70) But overall it is still one of the best multi fx pedals I have played on.

    Although this comes with COSM Amps, how would you compare the Effects section of this to the Helix HX Effects ESPECIALLY COMPARING THE "HARMONY" EFFECT of the ME-80 to the "Smart Harmony" from the Line 6 Helix HX?
    I must say, this seems much easier to program than the Helix!!!
    Basically, when I happen to travel back home, I'm always asked to sit in with a number of bands. I'd really like to have a Multi Effects which also happens to be "Carry On Size," Unit which pretty much allows me to set " MY TONE," plug in to virtually ANY Amp and have my sound go wherever I may Roam!!
    Please Pardon the Metallica Hint/Pun!!! One of my favorite tunes off the Black Album!!!
    Is this also acting like a much less expensive "Full Blown" HelixI may cancel my order for the Helix HX Effects and jump in to the waters of the ME 80!!
    Your thoughts ASAP PLEASE!!!!!
    Thanks Guys, GREAT DEMO!!!!

These companies all have product in the 300 dollar price point. I have been thinking of getting one and am having so much trouble deciding. Things I would be interested in are build, versatility, and sound quality for recording and live performances.

    I just bought a ME-70 off Ebay for $150 U.S. ,and I love it. It is a bit out dated, but a huge upgrade from my ME-33 ! I am loving it! Still trying to figure out how to properly utilize all the features. Funny ,as I was just in a Sam Ash ,like a month ago ,and they still had the ME-70 on the floor for $300. So I am pumped to have it ,even though the 80 is out.

  • @Aarlog
    @Aarlog 10 років тому +1

    Actually, we have some pretty cheap pedals here in the States - the Danelectro FAB pedals run $15 each ($25 for fuzz and delay) and you can get a lot of great sounds from it, so making a big pedalboard is super easy and affordable. :) I honestly love them.

  • @patrickfarley8036
    @patrickfarley8036 4 роки тому

    (I am aware this video and pedal are 6 years old at this point. However......)
    Wow, I can't believe that you guys are simply pushing this board as "just a better replacement for a few individual pedals".
    It's not WYSIWYG! And if I was BOSS Corporate, I'd be pretty pissed at this demo! By totally dismissing the OWNERS MANUAL, you have completely ignored at least 75% of the boards abilities!
    Is a fantastic bit of technical achievemen!
    Of course, that said, as a personal bias I avoid "ALL IN ONES" like this because if section like the F/X 1 shits the bed, you lose all your sounds while it's out being repaired!!!
    Individual pedals my cost more collectively, but if your phase90 craps out, you just pop a new one in or leave it out of the chain and carry on! Or, you can probably even repair your phase yourself!
    But as for "a salesman knowing what your selling"? 👎👎👎👎 You're fired!

  • @djmartinez5054
    @djmartinez5054 5 років тому +3

    I think the main problem with the concept of a multi effects units is that each effect is middle-of-the-road. For example, take distortion. Boss probably just goes with a popular sound then move on to the next effect and use the same criteria. You do end up with many, many effects, but each one is just something that sounds pretty good, but not very interesting. Is that what you want? A bag full of Hershey's chocolates? Or do you want a handful of gourmet chocolates with all sorts of yummy fillings and nuts? :)

    so whats the deal with these pedals , i got the me 70 , and its fine , but i am a bad player . i never see good players use them , they all use stompboxes , why is this , with the me70 boss claimes it had all the stompboxes aboard that boss ever made , whats the downside ?

    • @Daemoniacus100
      @Daemoniacus100 8 років тому +8

      I own the ME 70 as well and I've gigged with it several times and I love the hell out of it....but the downside is that the ME 70, 80, GT 10 and 100 don't contain the boss stompboxes or any other for that matter, they digitally emulate the sounds of the original analog pedals, which is noticeably thin, harsh or hollow compared to the originals. But I have to say the ME 70 is just beautiful for what it does and gives you a great idea of what pedals you might like if you decide to go down the analog pedalboard path. At the end of the day, just rock on and have fun :D
