Boss ME33 Guitar Multi-Effects with COSM Amp Modeling

Incredible Sounds, Incredibly Easy
It's no secret that BOSS is known for legendary effects with simple, straightforward designs that let you spend less time tweaking and more time playing. The ME-33 takes this concept to the extreme by putting the full BOSS effects powerhouse at your fingertips using 6 Quick Edit knobs (Gain, Tone, Modulation, Delay, Reverb, and Level) and a large backlit graphic LCD. So getting your sound is now as simple as stomping a pedal and turning a few knobs. Once you've got the sound you like, just save it into one of 60 memory locations for instant recall. Don't want to scroll through effects patches? No problem. A new Easy Tone feature gives you cool settings depending on the style of music you're playing: Country, Blues, Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, or 7-String

COSM Amp Models and Head-Turning Effects
Thanks to the power of COSM Guitar Amp modeling, the ME-33 delivers stunning models of 6 classic and modern amp types - from ultra-clean to bluesy to full-on thrash metal. And unlike some guitar multi-effects processors, you can use these killer amp models and a variety of BOSS overdrive/distortion effects simultaneously. Speaking of effects, there's 24 in all - 9 of which can be used simultaneously - including everything from reverb, chorus, and delay to Auto Riff, Harmonist, and an Overdrive/Distortion effect with new Feedback Modeling, which can give you realistic amp feedback at any volume.

Features that Matter
The ME-33 goes the extra mile by giving you an onboard expression pedal that's instantly assigned to control a cool-sounding effects parameter. Of course, it can also easily be assigned to control just about anything else you want - from wah to pitch shifting to volume. For 7-string guitarists, it has an auto tuner that can tune a low "B," as well as patches optimized for bottom-heavy sounds. Optional battery power lets you take it just about any-where, while a built-in Phrase Trainer and Auxiliary input lets you record and play back riffs from CDs or tapes - the perfect tool for slowing down and learning those difficult riffs.
