Product reviewsBoss ME-50 Multi-Effects Guitar Effect Pedal

Excellent Purchase

I just bought a Boss ME-50 Multi effects pedal for my guitar. I specifically bought this one as a back up. It was used but very well taken care of, in fact it looked brand new when I received it. I plugged it in and it works perfect. It actually sounds better than the one I have been using for my gigs. Everything was as specified. The volume button had been replaced but that did not effect the pedal what so ever. The best used purchase I have made yet!Read full review...

50 effects for the price of a few!

We are talking 50 effects that sound as good or better than the originals. Affordable, reliable, portable, easy to use. I've owned mine for 7 years and gig with it. I think it sounds fantastic. I attribute this somewhat to the three volume boosters built into the unit. The distortion's, compressor's and master's volume adjustments. Sending a hot clean signal into a tube amp does wonderful things.
You gotta love having over 20 different overdrives to choose from. It has a harmonizer, Uni-Vibe, analog delay, reverse echo, chorus, phase, flanger, Leslie simulator, vibrato, chorus, compressor, noise gate, four reverbs, digital delays, wah wah, volume pedal,and more ..... just about everything. I'm surprised it doesn't have an envelope filter.

The one annoying thing about the ME-50 is that if you switch from one patch to another there is a half second delay of no sound. So switching patches while performing a song is pretty much out of the question. You could however turn the distortion, mod and delays on and off while on a patch. You would just need to hit the edit/exit button before doing that. Personally, I never use the patches.Read full review...

The answer to all my problems

The boss me-50 is and older pedal that still has a more analog feel with adjustment knobs. But it has memory and its a boss made by Roland can't go wrong. Has awesome sustain and compression control. I like the wah pedal more than I liked my crybaby and it's also a volume swell pedal to boot. Loving itRead full review...

BOSS ME-50 Great sound, super easy to use

To be fair: I am in the musical instrument business and am intimately familiar with this and other guitar processing products. I bought the ME-50 because for certain situations it's the perfect product: sounds really good, it's very easy to use and has just enough to make most of the guitar sounds you hear in use on stage on on records. It runs on batteries so you can us it anywhere, and has a sturdy metal case, so like other BOSS products, it will stand up to the rigors of heavy use. Does it do everything? No, but things that do are not nearly as easy to use in real time, and for almost all common playing situations, the ME-50 is more than enough. The BOSS ME-70 does more and has a few more features with a similar easy knob-based interface, but it costs more and for my application was more than I needed.Read full review...

Love this! I could spend $400 or $125. I'm glad didn't spend the $400 when all I need is this. Love the clear sound! My Les Paul has new character!

Guitar effects utopia!

If you are a guitar player who likes to play around with different effects, then you would love one of these. I've had other multi pedals but this is the best I've had. Not only does it make about every kind of effect you can imagine, it's really easy to use and set up and change between effects easily. If you had to buy all the pedals to create the effects this one unit does, you would spend 4 or 5 times as much. It's definitely the way to go.Read full review...

Perfect for my need

This is a great box. I use it mainly or volume swells , bit of compression , some delay and tremolo . In one location. It offers a lot more than that. It’s not complicated, sounds great. Love it.

Good device

I replaced my entire pedal board with this. I play with effects in front of a looper. I do wish that it was smaller, perhaps half the size. The effects ate all good. The expression pedal is very smooth. The way effect is smooth and rich and I like it MORE than my last crybaby. Seriously , I am happier with this then the six pedals it replaced ( crybaby, tube screamer, b b overdrive digital delay chorus and noise gate.Read full review...
