Boss ME-50B (Video Review!)

Hey guys, just picked up a ME-50B for a steal, figured I'd start work on a full detailed video review. This is part 1, and covers the Filter/Tone pedal on the board.

Thought that this would be a good reference for anyone considering to buy the pedal, check it out and let me know what you think, and how I can improve Part 2!

Thanks :bassist:


Boss ME-50B Review (Part 1: Filter/Tone) - YouTube
 
I really like mine, it's super straight forward and easy to use. The "Metal" distortion is very on point with Cliff Burton's tone on Anesthesia, and the "Chorus/Reverb" option, when dialed in correctly, is *very* close to the tone in 46&2 by Tool as well as Screams of the Butterfly by Acid Bath. I'm not a huge effects user, but it works for me.
