The Boss ME-70 combines amp modeling and multi-effects processing into a single, pedalboard style layout. Turning effects on and off is as simple as stepping on the ME-70's respective footswitches, and the amp models can be completely taken out of the signal chain by turning the Type knob to off-- a boon for those looking for a bunch of quality effects to feed into an amp you already love. The COSM technology (the Boss/Roland sound engine) in the Boss ME-70 is taken straight from the much more expensive Boss GT-10, their flagship effects box, meaning you can count on getting the best sounds Boss has to offer.

The WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) nature of the Boss ME-70 makes navigation easy, giving you tactile, immediate control over your sound. Further, the ME-70 features the celebrated EZ Tone function, which gets you up and running right out of the box with artist-designed-and-tested tone.

Effective Effects

-Preamp - This is your section of amp models, with dedicated equalization and volume/gain stages.
-Compression/FX - Here you can adjust compression, or instead use some of the Boss special effects like their lauded Slow Gear. Online auction sites have the original Slow Gear going for the price of this unit alone (if you can even find one.)
-Overdrive/Distortion - A selection of grit boxes, all derived from actual Boss pedals.
-Modulation - A comprehensive selection of mods, also including a smart Harmonizer.
-Delay - Boss delays never disappoint, and this is no exception.
-Reverb - A single knob lets you go from Room to Hall and everywhere in between.
-Pedal FX - Volume, Wah, Whammy-type effects, and even delay level can be controlled with this sweep.

Stage Ready, at the Ready

The Boss ME-70's clear, bold LED screen is perfect for dark stages, allowing you to see which preset you're currently centered on. If the 4 switches and expression pedal on the ME-70 don't offer enough control, hook up the Boss FS5U and you can now switch your preamp or reverb on and off. The Boss ME-70 is battery-powered, or compatible with the standard Boss-style 9v adapter, the PSA120S.

For under $300 you are getting thousands of dollars worth of Boss effects in a sturdy, well-designed, thoughtfully laid-out all-inclusive package. Boss got the ME-70 right. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Boss products.

"Pimpin!"

Sound: This is an amazing product for my needs as I can reproduce just about any sound possible. It does take some time to figure out its many capabilities, but if you can read the directions, it is fairly straightforward. I love this unit and my friends are envious! Feature: The unit comes with batteries and I would recommend getting the optional power supply if you are going to use it for any length of time. Other than that, this unit is packed full of features and has eliminated my need for additional foot pedals. Ease of Use: There are so many features on this unit that you will definitely need to read the manual, but it is very simple to get the sound you want as there are quite a few pre-programmed sounds available with this unit. Quality: The product is well built and has a very cool appearance. The only thing I would change would be to make the main pedal removable from the unit for easier stage use. The unit is built like a tank! Value: Can't beat this unit at this price point! Manufacturer Support: I have worked with Boss for years and have a flanger that still works from the 1970's. No service needed! The Wow Factor: This is a sweet piece of equipment! Overall: I expect this unit to last a long time as I take care of my stuff. I do think it could stand up to some abuse if you were so inclined!

Style of Music: Rock, Blues, Metal, Alternative, etc.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Finally a product built for musicians who do not what to spend all their time programming the effects unit!"

Sound: I have owned a bunch of guitar effects and pedal-boards over the years and I must say that the Boss ME 70 is the best of them all. I like that it is built like a tank and is easy to use. I had good working sounds that I like in about 10 minutes. Select your stomp box and dial it in. Made a big improvement in my sound and the time it takes to set up. being able to combine the different effects on the fly as you would with an array of boxes is a big deal to me. I give it the highest rating in all catagories. Feature: No I had to buy an additional foot switch and transformer, but no big deal. If you purchase from ZZounds just add those before you buy it and get the 4 payment deal. Ease of Use: It is as easy to use as stomp boxes and easier to set up because its all in one. Quality: Heavy metal construction -hey it's a Boss. Value: competitive price to pedal boards but there really isn't anything out there like it. Manufacturer Support: Never had to use support with a Boss product The Wow Factor: it's a 10 baby! Overall: I can't expect to wear it out, so it will out live me. Totally gives me what I need on stage. I would replace it right away if lost with this or what ever the new version of the ME 70 is.

Style of Music: country and classic rock
