User Reviews of the Boss Guitar Multiple Effects ME-5

- Few people realise that the ME-5 incorporates the classic BOSS pedal internals that are now vintage in their own right including the: CS-2, DS-1, OD-2, RV-3, EQ-1, CE-2, DD-2, BF-2 all together with a switchable Noise Suppressor that calms the proceedings. I have an all up-to-ate set of BOUTIQUE Patches in mine that gives me classic sounds such as:
Univibe, Vibratone, (and other Leslie effects), Rangemaster, Fuzz-Face, Tweed and driven Deluxe Reverb emulations, classic JTM45, Rockabilly, Bluesbreaker, 'Rectified' and 'Twang' - all classic tones in various states - and not modeled!!
You can get a set too and upload either via sysex/midi and your PC or manual input. See link where to hear/get them.

http://boss-pedals.jimdo.com/ - Good Points: There was one thing that BOSS very cleverly incorporated into the ME-5 and that was MIDI. With its ability to receive control Change information via standard System Exclusive (SYSEX), it meant that all the parameters and settings, locations and presets, could all be uploaded and downloaded to the unit 'on-the-fly' and edited via software on a computer or dedicated sequencer!
This has also meant that over 20 years on and you can still use this facility reliably either live or in the Studio. You can also very easily and remarkably use it to upgrade your old pre-sets to Modern or Vintage Patches!!
