MTM105 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I purchased the ME 50 over the GT-6 last year virtually for its simplicity. It is probably considered a muliple stomp box, rather than multi-effects. I think I would rather own this than the newer GT-8.I like the Rat and Guvner sound. The jury is still out on the chorus. I don't sense a really deep sweeping chorus effect, or maybe I just don't have it set right. I found that the Phaser only sounds good if it is on a lower setting. Digital Delay I think is OK. I am not too crazy about the Octaver sounds, maybe it's not my thing.I am trying to appreciate the other distortions. What is modern distortion supposed to emulate? Modern OD? Square? Exactly what does the Lead effect duplicate? Boss doesn't inform us exactly what some of these sounds are replicating and that is my only downfall with this unit.I would really appreciate anyones input.Is there a web site for the ME 50, like they did with the GT 6?
Hamer95USA Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 Hey MTM105, You might want to do a web search on a user supported website for the Boss ME-5. You should also check out the Gear Page (www.thegearpage.com ) for information. The ME-5 is an older effects unit made by Boss. I don't know a lot of people using those, but if you can program your own presets that sound cool, more power to you. Guitar George
