I just sold my last pedal today, an MXR Duke Of Tone, to GC and bought one of these pieces of Boss goodness. Im so tired of individual pedal board set ups. So much fiddling between sets. AHH!!! The ME-90 simplifies everything without sacrificing anything. At least for my needs (small bar gigs and whatnot). I never realized how much I love the Tera Echo + "Klon" Centa vibe, super sweet with a JB in a Strat. Believe it or not, Im running this board into an ancient Marshall MG250DFX 2x12 combo. Straight in the front, clean channel: gain at 2, bass at 1, mids at 1, treble at 9. FDD switch on (somewhat emulates a tube like response). And if I switch on one of the amps effects , the whole rig goes stereo.. and ... WOW!!
Love my ME-90. To those planning on buying this multieffects unit, don't rely on the built-in presets because they sound really bad. Download external IR's and create your own patches. That's where the gold comes in.
I got this pedalboard 2 months ago…and I’m very happy of that. I would like to use this on stage directly into a mixer. I’m afraid that my tones (Made with hairphones) won’t be the same through the speakers. This is the tipical situation when you use digital pedalboards
It might only be the eq or some gain adjustments needed for the PA use vs headphones so don’t sweat it! Would love to have you subscribe if you’re not already!
I’ve had the ME-80 for years and loved it! I was super excited when the ME-90 was released and bought it from Sweetwater. It arrived and man, it sounded so digital compared to the more analogue sound of the old 80. I liked having the Bluetooth module and a few of the new pedals like the Clon but overall, it didn’t sound as natural. After a month, I took advantage of Sweetwater’s return policy and sent it all back. I jammed with my ME-80 tonight. I am very disappointed.
Hello there! Thank you for this review! Can you give me your opinion on Boss's COSM vs AIRD tech. Can you , as a player feel the difference in how it responds to your playing dynamics? I want to understand if there is considerable difference between boss GT1 (COSM) and Boss ME-90 (AIRD), in how it responds to your playing..
I found a fly in my coffee and I'm a little upset about it . Anyhoo I've been playing guitar for many moons and I've never used any gear or pedals of anykind ..I don't know what I'd be getting myself into even trying it all looks so busy all these buttons and shenanigans but idk maybe I need to get myself into some of this Cuz it really really sounds good
Yeah they still sell it new. Maybe not in this color but there are a ton of these used on Reverb for a good price. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks!
Are thanks. It’s confusing working this all out when new to it. It’s a different language and the people who know the language forget what it’s like to not know 😂
When installing the Boss Bt Dual on my ME 90, only the midi drive was recognized. My phone is an IPhone 14 and the application worked perfectly but I can't stream audio through the device. Any tips on how to solve this problem?

I around your age.
I really enjoy your vids keep em coming
I have been gigging with the ME 90
It does me right
Nice! What are you running it into? Straight to the PA?
I bought the ME80 several years ago. I love it. It was a little complicated, and tons of knobs. Great video.
Very cool!

Nice! I really think the tones from this are miles better than the Katana! Congrats! Would love to have you subscribe if you’re not already!
I like how when you turn up the reverb, you get more of it! Thanks for the demo, nicely done.
You’re welcome!

That’s almost always the best advice for all of these types of units. Thanks for the tip!
I like the ME90n a lot, but not the presets. I prefer building my own. Love the simplicity of it.
Yeah it’s kind of a breath of fresh retro air!
Pretty cool. I am tired of shoveling snow!! I guess I will just play guitar
It's not really sticking here today so no shoveling for me thankfully! Stay warm Brian!

So, would you keep gain level to zero?
@maurocasanova9929 I would use my ears until they were happy
Happy Friday! Hope you're in a better place. Take care Alan
I am - thank you! Stay warm this weekend !
@@GearGasms so Fn coooollddddd :)
Thanks Man! Now I have to sell some gear in order to buy one of these things…
It’s worth it perhaps? It’s very cool
I had a Boss me3 in 1989, sounds just like it, lol
Lol

Interesting- I have not tried the 80. I do like the high gain sounds on this way more that my Katana, which I sold.
Happy Friday Alan. 🍺
Same to you!
I have the same Guitar in Rocket Red
Nice! The San Dimas may be my overall favorite guitar!

I’ve never interacted with COSM or at least not since my Roland digital recorder 20 years ago
Great video! Does it do trails/carry overs? Would need it to carry the delay from one patch into the next.
Now that I don’t know because I only had it for a day
@GearGasms have you tried the Boss dual Cube LX ?
I have not. Is it cool?
@@GearGasms Yup, it does the job.
@albertmarkethinkpr1325 I’ll have to check it out!
I found a fly in my coffee and I'm a little upset about it

Cuz it really really sounds good
It’s kind of like a big pedal board and so easy that even I can use it! I liked the sounds from this better than those of the Katana
Can i buy this guitar
Yeah they still sell it new. Maybe not in this color but there are a ton of these used on Reverb for a good price. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks!
Isnt the prsesets P 1-9 ? User bank U 1-9 ? So The U 1-9 being demonstrated are not the presets?
Initially all presets are also in the user bank
Are thanks. It’s confusing working this all out when new to it. It’s a different language and the people who know the language forget what it’s like to not know 😂
That’s a great point.
I have a me 80, and it dampens the sound of my kat, will it the 90 do the same?
Never played the 80 so not sure
When installing the Boss Bt Dual on my ME 90, only the midi drive was recognized. My phone is an IPhone 14 and the application worked perfectly but I can't stream audio through the device. Any tips on how to solve this problem?
No clue. I had this thing for a day then back to the store. Sorry!
Hi,i would like only ask about the tones and sounds,compare to the moore ge250 ,this boss will be better choice in your opinion?
I haven’t spent as much time with the GE250 but it the biggest difference is operating and workflow. The Boss may have the better overall sound.
Too many multi-FX pedals available for my brain to process. I’m permanently stuck with analysis paralysis now.
As crazy as all the knobs are, menus are worse for analysis paralysis 🤓
LOL You should have just went over the knobs, each one
There’s too many!
Don't bash yourself so much - do it in a funnier way. rock on davis essex
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤓
Wow, it sounds terrible
Probably my fault! 🤓
I disagree
