  • nice vid man :)

  • MMM creo que debiera mostrar las conficuraciones, ¿como guardo los sonidos? como los combino? como se cambian ? etc. No me gustó. slds CHILE

  • @JUANKA2909 es facil ;)

  • @EzraMF

    ya tirate una ayudita!! vale

  • I've got one of these to sell if anyones interested. id be asking about $225

  • @Purerockband I'm not. I have one of these, but I use the tube screamer distortion 90% of the time

  • Huh? Clean-by-clean distortion?

  • buy,buy,buy,buy,buy,buy,buy,bu­y,buy,buy,buy,buy,buy,buy  ¡¡¡¡¡

  • Edit: Use more than 6 sounds combined. I use like the threshhold on, the metal zone, a sick chorus, some reverb, delay and a tight sound..can even throw in a wah.. sounds badass. try it. You just gotta KNOW how to use it and set a good tone.

  • for starters this is great. I know someone who spent 2000 on a rig and well I can do much more than they can.. way more.. he is tired of his rig too. Sooo you gotta learn to use it. I still do.. 6 years already. Sucks you cant use more than 6 sounds but still its great.

  • My friend has one of these, their pretty cool and very quite, It is pretty powerful sounding, but very digital, which Im not sure if I like. And you cants combine any of the modulation effects together..

  • Hi one question .. i have got this PROCESSOR..i created my own patches and now i have really messed up the sound...i want those OLD PATCHES back.. tell me HOW CAN I RE-WRITE my memory..so that all my patches will be back again

  • @gunitsin2008 From power off - turn on while pressing BANK Left and WRITE buttons, 'F' appears, (to cancel procedure turn off and on again) press WRITE, press WRITE again, now it's back to factory presets.

    Hope that helps,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • @cmgill2 Yeah i have already done that.. thanks anyways .. but the factory patches distortion are just good..i mean nothing heavy metal distortion sorts.. will have to make good distortion patches myself

  • @gunitsin2008 the distortion/overdrive of this pedal in particular is not that good, the other effects are great

  • how do you get the first effect he is using? that distortion with the reverb... if anyone knows or has an idea please respond!

  • I will buy this!!!

  • Ello! I am possibly going to buy one of these and am unsure if it has a good enough metal sound for my taste. I'm tempted to buy just for all the effect combination available but I also have a Heavy Metal Pedal that I use for my metal tones. Would it work if I had the Boss ME-50 connected in the circuit with my Heavy Metal Pedal for the distortion sound, or will this reduce clarity/performance etc? ;) cheeeeers

  • @7thS0Nofa7thS0N nah man i have one of these and for metal its beaasstt !!!!

  • can you do 3 voice harmony

  • nice man shoes

  • I use the GT-8, it has much better distorted sounds!

  • i think i go buy it i looks crazy

  • i love this one,

    got it yesturday and its amazing, Definitly a recommend to any guitarist!

  • now why would that be crazy?

  • can you have like chorus and tremolo combined together?

  • @bebenavole that would be crazy:p but no, you can't

  • @EzraMF i don't know, i had never tried that... It doesnt mean that it could sound bad... 

  • @EzraMF it actually would sound sweet, but they would have to be in perfect sync at the wave.

  • i got this pedal and the effects dont sound unlike normal effects

  • I used to have one. I didnt like it. Some features are good. The delay for example is pretty good but the distortions all suck. If you want a boss multi effect better go for one of the GT's, its better worth your money. Or go for stompboxes.

  • Got an question: Is it easy to handle it? I mean, for every chanel you pick your desired sound, and it alays come back without changing something?

  • i swear..i thought he was gonna start playing hammer smashed face at 2.24

  • sounds. like. poo.

  • @Rollomite420 poo isn't that bad:)

  • The distortion on this thing isn't that impressive. I recommend going with a natural tone from your amp for that. The effects, such as wah, whammy, delays, chorus, etc. are rather useful, however.

  • Stop playing guitar and sing us some Killswitch xD

  • On mine the distortion sounds fuzzy on solos and the fucking wah wah pedal doesn't work! :@

  • @Jiminibobster Get the manual out and reset your wah wah activation position per manual instructions.

  • im not digging the distortion. but cool pedal, nonetheless.

  • uni-v by jim-d lol i get it

  • I think he was trying to tell us you can get a big sound from this pedal.

  • can u use all three or two pedals together.... i mean is when i m playing on shows with distortion/od pedal and so i want to play solo and can i click on the delap pedal so i can get both distortion and delay for solo.. i see when you click on delay pedal when distortion pedal is on then the distortion pedal went off went off,....

    so how can we use both pedal or all three pedals at once ??

  • @SaJAn061 Thats because the guy playing on the vid has it on memory mode. On memory mode you can save your effects combinations. For example, you can save metal and tremolo and some tap delay... It would be crazy but, yes, you can use 3, dont get confused by the vid;) I have mine on sale, so if anyone is interested here ii amm

  • He plays it through a Roland JC120 that's the reason why it sounds really good!

  • can you use distortion and delay at the same time and does this have sound on sound?

  • @jangel2771 yeh of course you can use distortion and delay at the same time. you can use any of the pedals at the same time. not sure what you mean by sound on sound though

  • if only boss could get russle lissak to demo all their pedals!

  • My tone improved the day I UNPLUGGED the boss me 50 .

  • This ad is gayy, check my guitar uploads - all effects by the boss ME-50. Love it

  • I got this peddle 3 years ago for 120 UK pounds its great still working great til this day :) love it

  • @EpiphoneGear they are so 80s

  • can you get lap steel like volume swells on this? does it have a feedback emulator?

    also when playing live is there a half second delay when you hit a pedal? that last ones the deal breaker for me.

  • I am selling a boss me 50, message me if you are interested for an me 50 for 200 dollars.

  • is this worth getting?

  • Somebody knows how I can play smells like teen spirit with the me50 effects?

    ty

  • even if you get a tube amp youll likely still find yourself using some pedals, look at kirk hammett

  • 2:04 Hot For Teacher WTF!

  • I think that the ME-70 es better than this

  • theyre like the same thing

  • If you want the Led Zeppelin Achilles Last Stand tone, set the distortion to Heavy Metal. Turn the gain to 12 oclock, the bottom to 3 o'clock and the tone knob full blast. Compressor off. Noise Suppressor to 10 o'clock. I used a little room reverb too.

    It just NAILS it!

    I think it's kinda funny that the Heavy Metal setting gets Jimmy Page. Talk about Old School!

  • looks like a great pedal

  • The Wah pedal isn't really good, and the effects sound digital, I borrowed one for a wile

  • how do you get the last sound?

  • @MrWaddlesgee3

    I think it's the volume pedal

  • What? how?

  • you pick a string with the volume down, and then slowly release it. You won't hear the 'picking sound' and it will sound like a violin:) but i'm sure he used other effects in that part but I don't know what.

  • Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! peace be with you my brother

  • slow echo on delay

  • how to get the clean sound at the beginning. bought it 2 days ago

  • is the sound quality of the me 50 as good as the quality of the me 70?

  • i have this pedal but i have no idea how to work it. Can anyone tell me how to loop sounds for more than 2 seconds ?

  • @megamajenta2000 , It can't do more than a couple seconds. You need to buy a looper if you want more than 2 seconds of looping...... or ......get out of your house and find some friends to play with.

  • Grab my settings from my vids. Mail me if you have probs

  • Put it this way! you want a tubescreamer sound you buy a REAL tubescreamer!!! I have one and ive compared it to several multi effect units! they sound like shit compared to it!! even the Line 6 range!! they are so full of BS when they make out you have this and that pedal built in!! look guys!! a good guitar and good amp gets you the best tone!! and I mean a class a valve amp! none of that spider amp crap!! good basic amp that gives u great cleans and overdrive when cranked with no flashy lights

  • take it easy dude

  • @EzraMF

    hahaha

  • @Fender1976uk , you are correct in that the Boss ME-50 is not a substitute for a good amp and guitar. I use a 2001 American Standard Stratocaster with Dimarzio HS-3 pick ups into the Boss ME-50 and into two 1970's Fender Class A Champ amplifiers. This simple and relatively inexpensive set up (just under $2000) is extremely versatile and has just one gorgeous tone after another. It nails Van Halen, Police, Smashing Pumpkins, Hendrix, Tool, SRV, ZZ Top and more. I'll take to a recording session.

  • @Fender1976uk I agree but most people can't afford massive valve amps with many tubes and have pedals like this as a cheaper alternative

  • @spacematty1 well for about £100 more than buying the me-50, u can get a fender blues junior. Big enough sound for most gigs.

  • @Fender1976uk THANK YOU!! Boss pedals are crap anyways. Boutique all the way!

  • @Fender1976uk well most people can't afford amazing guitars and amps and so to get close to a sound they use multieffects like this

  • @Fender1976uk I agree. If you want "real" sound, get a really good basic amp from the factory you prefer (Pavey, Marshall, Fender, whatever), and get stomp boxes that you like instead of multi-effect boxes. Personally I prefer multi-effect boxes because it's easier and cheaper than buying 30 stomp boxes, and it's more versatile than having one overdrive, one chorus and one delay. But it is true that the emulated sound from multi-effect boxes isn't as good as the original. But it's close enough.

  • @Fender1976uk the board itself isn't bad but your right the scremers pretty bad

  • @Fender1976uk I agree to a point, but there is nothing wrong in getting a multieffect unit if you are really into experimentation with sound and effects, if you are playing or making music with tons of different guitar sounds. Of course, the analogue stuff is better, but this is a cheaper option to buying 15 different stomp boxes.

  • Can this thing do clean sounds on it's own or do you need the amps clean sound?

  • How much does it cost?

  • they dont make this anymore they make they still are for the bass but for guitar you will have to seacht ebay

  • nice drive on 2:05

  • This effects unit gets the van Halen and Yngwie tones. But you'll never guess how. I've been using mine everyday for years when I finally stumbled onto this.

  • care to share the settings with us?

  • ok, for van Halen I, comp sustain 9 oclock, comp level 12 oclock, NS threshold 2 oclock, hall reverb- alot!, distortion-loud (variation light must be on) drive 12o'clock bottom 12 oclock tone 2 oclock, delay 400-1200, time 12 oclock, feedback off, e.level 1 oclock.

    I use two 1970's Fender Champs for stereo, turn on the phaser for Eruption (you set as you like). Now, ever guitar and amp is different (so are his songs) ,I'm always tweaking knobs a little so this should get you in the ballpark.

  • That was not so tricky but Malmsteen is. Start with same setting as above but now turn both comp knobs full blast. Dist drive- off! bottom 2 oclock, tone 3 oclock and turn the level up from 12 to 3 oclock. Here's the trick; pluck a string and turn the drive knob up until you hear it click up once and then one more click! So, two clicks from off. Notice the phase cancellation on the lower register notes and how the high notes up the neck scream out. (neck pick up of course). Very Yngwie!

  • Wow! I just cranked the Noise Suppressor all the way up. I then cut the distortion bottom back to 12 oclock and then turned the distortion drive up to 9 oclock (still not much,eh?). Try playing Beautiful Girls by van Halen.

  • awesome thanks! Van halen sounded amazing. Have yet to try the malmsteen tone.

  • man i don't know what to do...i've heard this pedal from my teacher and it has a real nice analog sound but...i don't know if its better to buy a ME 70 that has some real nice features but i don't know if the sound would be as analog as this ME 50 someone help!

  • I would get a 2nd-hand ME-50 or a GT3....I would find one that has been taken care-of and buy that. The ME-70 just has some extra stuff added that you would probably not use, I have a gt-8 and I think I have wasted a lot of money on stuff I would never use like the amp modeling (I always run it through my tube amp so I switch amp modeling off 'cause it makes it sound like plastic with the digital "hissing"). ME-50 has only the usefull stuff and nothing more. Good luck on choosing :)

  • thx!!! well i think i'm gonna try and find a used cheap ME-50 i know those "hiss" sound from other effects and they are really nasty and thx for the advice

  • what year did this commercial come out.

  • well maybe you could channel your hyper moments into something more constructive :)..but i would appreciate any helpful tips on how to restore the pedal back to factory settings

  • any one knows. My pedal on the ME50 is getting way to sensitive. Just when the pedal just touches the bottom it sets of the effect. I want it so that i have to press a little harder to engage it.

    Can that be adjusted?

  • im not impressed with your sarcasm A5hl3y123

  • Comment removed

  • what differences are there between this and the me-70?

  • that's called digital...

  • is it better to buy this and play it through my marshall mg15cd or get a new amp with built in effects ? plz answer

  • I was having the same problem. I have decided to get one of these so I can take it places (like school when I play with friends)

  • buy this!!! FOR SURE

  • I have this one. It has some nice distortion sounds but there is an annoying lag when changing patches and for live playing is shit.

  • now the best is the ME-70

  • Tony Macalpine can play metal... I don't know if he swims

  • the most stupid thinq i heard in weeks, maybe years

  • tell that to terrance hobs and tosin abasi

  • He rocks anyway

  • hmm i bouhgt it a few months ago , but the problem is that u gonna need a bankswitch sooner or later =P but its still a good product! it sure is!

  • woohoo just bought one can't wait for it to come!

  • anyone got nice presets for me? i have some, but want better ones:)

    btw, this pedal is niceee

  • Just bought this baby for $300 New Zealand Dollars, thats about 180 US.

    Can't wait for it to arrive.

  • metal isnt everything, he can play guitar tho which is more then some metal guitarists can do

  • he is using the harmonist set a octave below and using the distortion on the guitar

  • RIGHT?!

    xD

  • this guy's annoying

    "RIGHT?!"

  • right

  • For guitar, it's actually pretty good. For keyboards...it's freaking AMAZING

  • guy at the bbeginning needs more mids

  • Sounds kind of like Xanadu, maybe La Villa Strangiato even a little bit.

  • Yes, the last thing he played sounds like the song "Xanadu" from the album "A Farewell to Kings" by the band Rush. :)

  • 4:21 rush song....lol it sounds like it

  • does this thing has the acoustic sym thing??

  • yeah

  • THere should be a band called Cyborg Bill.

  • Going to buy that.

  • 4:17 **

  • can somone plz tell me wat that song he is  playing at 4:19 ..PLZ..

  • Xanadu by Rush

  • got one, their great recomend them

  • I want that carpet.

  • i got one of those 2 years ago ive dropped it i dont know how many times and it still works fine

  • Me70 or ME50?

  • 70 obv.

  • how do you mean obv? cos if you been obv cos its the newest then no....anyway i got a line 6 cos the 70 is useless and the 50 is just bad

  • I didn't mean the newest but it has a lot of new features like it has compression, a looper, a whammy pedal and it has no latency in patch changing which is a problem in the 50. BTW did you get a floor pod plus? Why did you find it better? Please let me know because I am planning to buy one of them.

  • Hey man, i got the POD XT with the FBV Express cos i think its more versatile. Its really good if you planning on going live id get like a POD XT Live or X3 Live or something like that., theyre all stuff that go on the floor with pedals on it like the me50.

  • how does he swich the effects without touching it with his hands??

    and does the me 20 have the option of switching effects that way aswell?

  • yea,but this me 50 is designed with playing live in mind ( easyier to change on stage rather than fiddling about surfing through numerous menu's =]

  • the one he is playng with is in the floor...

  • boss me 50 or line 6 pod plus..

    which one to buy???

  • Same thing I'm choosing between, but it looks like this is way easier to use and has more to utilize. However, I've never been disappointed by a Line 6 amp, and I'm a bassist! I'm choosing more specifically between the Line 6 Floor Pod Live XT and this multi-effects pedal (but the bass version :P)

  • can any1 help me

    shud i buy Boss Me 50 or Zoom g21 u?

  • me 50 all the way, i have one, would never get anything else.

  • me-50 any day. i have a zoom and i struggle to get my sounds with it.

  • clean distortion? lol what a name for overdrive

  • its not a overdrive name

  • i was being sarcastic, haha

  • my me-50 gives a lot of extra unwanted noise in the overdrive setting even when i put up the threshold to max....Any idea how to fix this?

  • well try

    twisting the dist/over level more down

  • this or me.70 my local guitar store has this one, but not the ME-70, but i can buy iy online, but is it worth 1 week of extra waiting

  • well...

    the me 70 has more feautures

    i was also waiting for this one,

    but when you have it in your hands, believe me that you are going to be really happy

  • So i should wait the extra week?

  • yeah...

    you sould wait, what is the desperation?

  • The amp i got now is the worst one could imagine. Its so bad, it wont let you tap:-(

    Plus the disortion is really muddy and weak. I got two videos where i play guitar on my channel

  • hey man the solo u played how to get tat sound its fucking nice man don mind telling mi .. ..

  • thnx:)

  • the me-50 is one of the best things i've ever bought, I don't know why people say its too digital or the wah-wah sucks. i found its better than most other multi fx pedals and its easy to get wicked tone if you know what you're doing.

  • yeah whatever... if someone wants to pay attention..

  • can you record your riffs and songs on this
