Boss ME-90 Multi-Fx

[eggpl@nt]

Looks like Boss is updating the ol' ME line? My first Multi-Fx was an ME-50. I might grab this just for nostalgia...

At $350, it's an interesting proposition. That's about the same as a new NUX Trident.

 

[Orvillain]

Cack footswitches.

It looks like a multi fx from the 90s

That's the point, methinks. Boss is (wisely?) re-issuing old classic COSM gear, but using modern AIRD tech instead.

 

[JiveTurkey]

I LOATHE the footswitches yet I am drawn to it...

 

[CBHScott]

Hmmmm…I may has interest. Diligence forthcoming.

Not seeing amp emulation bypass. Can this be used in 4CM with an amp, like a proper multi FX?

Yeah it's a hard pass from me. I think it looks terrible.

Ditto. I've had Boss products using those kind of footswitches, and i fucking hate them.

So they can't fix IR loading on the GX so the solution is to release a new rehashed product with the same broken IR loading?

Yes this is the way

Those bastards did it. They took the ME-80, gave it an FX Loop, and updated the sounds, but otherwise kept it mostly identical to the UX.

And those mf-ers replaced the ring-mod with a feedbacker. Now I know where my diary disappeared to.

The only concern I have about it is the durability. Did they compromise there? The ME-80 is a tank

It's an ME-series pedal. Has noone seen this series before?

Meh, as a guy who had the ME-70, and liked the ME-80, but just didn't love the modeling, I like this. A non-menu driven, ME-80 replacement with the current modeling and IR loading? What's the problem? You want more? They, along with their competitors, have more complex units.

Does BOSS have any kind of polyphonic pitch shifting? If so, this might find it's way into my house . . .

Don't know if it's polyphonic, but Anderton's has a demo video up already, and the pitch shifter seems to track exceedingly well.

Too young to find it nostalgic, too old to consider the 90s "vintage"?

 

[Moe45673]

On the ME-80, the CTRL switch either allowed you to turn on/off multiple effects OR change ONE parameter value (like a modulation rate) of one effect. I wonder if those limitations are removed in this one?

*Edit* RTFM

 

[Baba]

Don't know if it's polyphonic, but Anderton's has a demo video up already, and the pitch shifter seems to track exceedingly well.

It has a Digitech "Drop-like" effect on it, so I can't go up, but I think that will be good enough.

Lol, I'm meeting a guy at my local GC tonight, to sell him my Fender HRD. I mean, the timing is too perfect, if they have this in stock, lol.
