Covers Be Rolling shows you, how to get Syn's sound on a Boss ME-70!

!!(No Copy Infringement Intended) Doubt there is any though!!

Step by Step Guide:
1. Go to Manual Mode.
2. Click OD/DS (Overdrive/Distortion).
3. Click Comp/FX (Compression/Effects).
4. Change Comp/FX settings to Solo (farthest clockwise), Max Sustain, Max 3/4 Attack, Max Level.
5. Change OD/DS settings to Metal (Right hand side), 5/8 Drive, 5/8 Tone, 5/8 Level.
6. Turn the Preamp (Equalization Box at the top) to EQ.
7. Change the Preamp Gain to 61, the Bass to 65, the Mid to 59, the Treble to 52, and level to 50.
8. Add some Reverb, Approximately 18 (Hall).
9. Put the output volume to whatever you want (Its how loud it is).
10. Hit Write (Directly under EZ Tone around the Display).
11. Click the pedal you want to patch it to (the pedal you click to have the effect linked to).
12. Hit Write (Directly under EZ Tone around the Display).
13. 2,4,6,8 Chocolate Milk is really great; therefore, PLAY UNTIL YOUR HANDS BLEED!
14. Make sure all equipment is safely turned off so you don't harm yourself or your equipment! Remember, better to be safe than sorry!

    and no matter what anyone says your really good.

  • @Vengeance4President I got the Syn guitar for Christmas '11, had no idea about it. My mom was gonna marry her boyfriend, but it wasn't that year, so she put the wedding money into that Lol. I've only been playing a year, but at two months, I wasn't nearly as good as this guy.

  • yourr class 4 two months but like you have a syn custom and loads of effects already

  • i wish I had 2468 chocolate milks :(

  • @94GuitarTamer keed it up i have been at for 8 an ahalf years

  • @ CoversBeRolling

    or what u can do is get a krank distortus maximus pedal, ernieball skinny top heavy bottom strings, seymour duncan invader pickups, and there u go u have his setup lol (8D)-K

  • @Vengeance4President not including the equipment. Ive been playing for 3 1/2 years and all my equipment maybe equals the price of that guitar.
