BOSS ME-70 Guitar Multiple Effects Processor

Product Information

The other side of the control panel is dedicated to the other effect modules, with a row of standard amp-style controls for the preamp model, a single reverb control, the master output level and a rotary switch for selecting the effect controlled by the expression pedal. In addition, we have a library of Owner’s Manuals and Support Documents that you can download and reference.

In the default Manual Mode, the four footswitches correspond to four effects modules: compression/FX, overdrive/ distortion, modulation and delay. I'll be interested in hearing the opinions of some of our other Tone-Masters about how the sound stacks up, especially that Mesa/Boogie setting.

But for fly-dates, where it is essential to travel light, or small club gigs where stage space is at a premium, both have been known to use a multi-effects unit from the Boss ME series. So I get through my last 3 pedals, having discovered boss make great pedals I start my boss journey with an ME50. the cosm amps on there are quite good too to get the marshall ditortion he had live from definitely maybe period but cant remember the name of the corresponding cosm setting name at the mooment! I would recommend this as a secondary pedal but wouldn't necessarily recommend using it as your go-to premium effects source.

Some have complained how hard it is, but as explained in the manual it's simple to adjust, and when you do it you also recalibrate the pedal range.This feature is useful to record with simply by plugging in directly to a sound card, and bypassing the need for amps and mics. I’m pretty sure it’s slightly later than the ME-5 though - which also incorporates analogue pedal circuits, just with digital control.

Overdrive is literally what you get when a tube is pushed beyond its voltage limits causing a clip in the top of the waveforms resulting in a slight warm, fat and sometimes, sizzly tone. Today, it still stands its ground as one of the easiest-to-use multi-effect floor units, with familiar Boss controls and parameters and tons of classic amp models and Boss pedals built in. Its a nice sounding drive with the gain a little below 12 Oclock and I think sounds a more Blusey tone than the 'Blues' option which I don't use much as its not for me. As a result the ME-70 might look under-spec'd compared with its nearest rival, the DigiTech RP500, but that's partly because BOSS has emphasised different features. SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY.You have the tried and true Boss sound that you have come to expect with some added custom features not available on the original models. Even if you are a boutique pedal guy, or a full on rack guy, you might easily find yourself in a situation where something like the ME-70 would come in handy. I have 3 valve amps, I have a full analogue pedal board setup (see my sig image above) and I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm still impressed by this thing. for instance OD1 is the classic boss oramge distortion pedal whereas the "metal" setting is the black metal zone pedal so instead of ages, it should take seconds to find a classic amazing tone.

If you already have a large pedal board, you probably won't get much more out of this, but if you don't own any pedals or just a few than this effects processor will definitely give you the most for your money. The simple knob-based controls for each effect section makes dialing in tone easier than ever, especially with the innovative EZ Tone feature. It's one thing to have a sprawling pedalboard with every effect pedal you'd ever need, but if one pedal can give you awesome, versatile tone and portability, look no further than the Boss ME-70.

Guitar Guitar Limited trading as guitarguitar acts as a credit broker not a lender and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 742103.I'm no longer sure that's really an advantage though - I've got an SE-70 half-rack unit which must be about the same age and also has analogue distortion. Great for when you don't have the cash but want a boss digital delay, tremolo, overdrive, distortion and more.
