BOSS ME 50 - Jazz Blues Tone Noodling

Um, again. Im not a Jazz player. Im kinda a rock/blues/punk player, but i wanted to show some of the warm tones from the ME-50. Give me a overdiven tube amp anyday.

The settings are my usual modulation and delay settings. Ive posted them on other videos. The reverb is hall reverb maxed. ie: Reverb = 4.5 ish

I use the OD-2 for big tones. ie: Lots of fat mid range. The drive on the OD-2 is fantasic for in-your-face lead solos. I also love the BD-2 distortion which I use a lot for rock tones.

The BD-2 is very close to an old Marshall tone. When its clean, you can overdrive it using the compressor which sounds very close to old ACDC/Led Zep tones. It does a fantasic blues tone. After all its a blues driver :-)

Anyway. Again, im not a jazz player, so if you have studied jazz and are shocked by my lack of knowledge, then, mmmm. What can I say.

Actually, I know most of what Im doing here. I just dont care for music exams.

Could you post a list of the actual settings? I've been trying to get this for weeks now, and just can't figure it out :(.

@MetalFTWBiartch I cant for this video, since I change the settings a number of times. But, it isn't that hard. The MOD/DELAY/REVERB would all be the same as my other settings. Im just changing the OD/DS type and the drive. Thats it. I may be changing the TONE type, but it really doesn't matter. Jazz/Blues tones are so diverse, almost anyything goes. Plus, a lot of the tone changes come from changing the pickups. Just go with what feels good to you

Thanks. yea, im not sure what it is. Somewhere between blues and jazz. I know guys who do "know jazz", so I would never claim I know. But, I like this tone and it is nice to play with when rock just doesn't cut it. I like all kinds of tones.

Gotta love the exposure control on the camera. I think we missed the photography exams too.

I think you went from jazz phrasing to blues phrasing and then to some funk thing back to blues playing into...??? Classical/blues???
