BOSS ME50 Details
The ME50 Guitar Multiple Effects is a floor-based multi-effects processor built
with the ruggedness and simplicity of a stompbox. Designed to work with your
amplifier, the ME50 focuses on killer multi-effects (like COSM overdrive and
distortion) rather than amp modeling. And dialing in your tone is easy, thanks
to dedicated knobs for each effect section, three footswitches and a built-in
expression pedal. So if you want great-sounding effects without all the menu
surfing, the ME50 is everything you need.

Works Just Like Your Favorite Pedals
A multi-effects processor without a menu-driven LCD? Leave it to BOSS to design
the most intuitive multi-effects processor ever. With simple knob-based control
over each effect section, the ME50 makes dialing in your tone easier than ever.
And when you want to kick in an effect, just step on one of the footswitches.
Think of it as a pedalboard full of stompboxes, just without all the individual
pedals.
Superb Overdrive/Distortion Effects
The ME50 boasts a range of superb COSM overdrive and distortion models - perfect
for use on stage with an amp. Derived from the popular OD-20 Drive Zone, these
are some of the crunchiest, tastiest overdriven sounds you can imagine. There's
even a "Square" effect for cool synth-type sounds. Of course, the
ME50 also has plenty of other effects like compression, analog delay, flanger,
phaser, tremolo, Harmonist, Uni-V and a wicked new Rotary effect.
Easy Assignable Expression Pedal
Having an assignable expression pedal is great, but not if you have to dig through
menus just to select the effect you want to control. The ME50 fixes all that
with a simple Pedal Mode switch and knob. First, select whether you want to
use the pedal for volume or expression. If you choose expression, you can then
select one of six preset assignments via the dedicated knob: wah, resonance,
voice, ring mod and octave up or down.
Memory Function for Live Performance
The ME50's Memory function makes changing Patches quick and easy. Once enabled,
the three footswitches become Patch selectors for switching between three programs
within one of the ME-50's ten memory banks. To switch banks, just press the
Bank Up/Down buttons or use an optional footswitch. And with the ME50's convenient
tuner function, keeping your guitar in tune is easy.
