BOSS ME-80 guitar multiple effects with simple, easy to use interface

Multi effects processors by nature are difficult to use. Generally they have to cram piles of digital guitar effects into a relatively small enclosure. There would be complicated menus to scroll through to get everything set up. The BOSS ME-80 is different though. With years of experience in creating guitar effects, Boss have developed a unit that is both powerful and easy to use. Replacing the popular ME-70, the design has evolved to give the guitarist a better user interface and better features.

Brilliant COSM guitar effects

You know you are going to get a wonderful selection of effects and guitar amp simulations when you buy a BOSS processor. They are known for it. The Boss ME-80 takes features to affordability to the next level though. The COSM guitar amp sims have been developed from the flagship GT-100. Included are some brilliant overdrive and distortion effects as well as a huge range of modulation, delay, reverb and more. Also in there are some newer effects to the Boss catalogue such as Tera Echo and Overtone. Every effect is highly editable to help you really shape your sound. The ME80 also lets you combine eight effects at one time.

Great for live use

Using the BOSS ME80 is a breeze live. As there are no confusing menus to scroll through operation is fairly simple. It is a bit like having a massive range of guitar stomp boxes in one enclosure. The foot pedals have been laid out in a methodical way. Once you have your settings the way you want, just save them as a user patch. There are thirty six slots available. These patches are easily recalled with a stomp on a pedal. Also, playing live brings its own challenges with regards to operation of some guitar effects. For example delay tap tempo. On the Boss ME-80 this is easily achieved.

Great guitar effects for the studio

You can easily connect this multi guitar effects unit to a computer. A USB connection works as an interface. Even cleverer is the ability to import your sounds into your favourite recording software. Also, the BOSS ME-80 supports MIDI through USB. That way you can use the patches from it and control using the expression pedal etc...

The BOSS ME-80 is an incredible bit of kit. Seriously powerful yet remaining intuitive to use in both the live and studio environment. Also, it is available at an excellent price!
