Thoughts on the boss ME-50B?

when i tested it once, i found the distortions to sound very similar. didnt do much with the rest. the fretless option is pretty sick. i would love to have the effect to hold a note and play over it. you can test one at guitar center, i believe they always have a spot with boss products set up for testing

ive had mine for over 2 years and its a fantastic pedal, probably the best multi-effect board out there.
yes it does do good delays and reverb tho i would get an external footswitch for the delay as its easier then the built in tap tempo (where u hold down for 2 secs)
check out the boss website and look for the ME-50B demo... it would explain it better then i could

It is decent multi-effect. If you just want verb/delay and tone shaping/pre I think you could get better sounding individual effects for the same price.

I have an ME-50B and like it.

PROS:

- It is easily the most user friendly MEU around, thanks to its many knobs that make tweaking easy, unlike most MEUs that have just a few buttons and many menus to scroll through anytime you want to adjust anything.

- It keeps your rig relatively neat and simple, as opposed to having a mess of cables and pedals hiding your floor, tripping you up and complicating your show setup.

- I like its different compressions, drives and flanger/phaser type effects.

- For a hacker like me, it's a lot cheaper than spending the bank on a truckload of individual pedals.

CONS:

- The filter effects aren't impressive to me.

- The tuner isn't very user friendly, and is definitely not stage friendly.

- As rnilson said, if you're just looking for a few certain effects, you're probably better off just looking at individual pedals, since individual pedals are usually superior to their digital MEU equivalents.
