Boss ME25 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

Product Information

Most professional musicians will have individual pedals for their own sounds for their own songs, so this multi-effects would be well-suited to a gigging covers musician; somebody who plays in bars or function bands, who needs to have high-quality tones, devoid of fuss. This is the ME-25 driver for Microsoft® Windows Vista® 64-bit Edition. This driver also supports ASIO (Steinberg Audio Stream I/O Interface).

With a friendly design and unprecedented tone creation capabilities via COSM and EZ Tone, the ME-70 will be an essential live performance piece for guitarists. Plus, it will bring a diverse array of world-class COSM tones to any studio recording.

Boss is a division of Roland Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer, specialising in musical equipment and accessories. Boss started its operation in mid 1970's and is known for effect pedals for bass and electric guitars. Their launch of 6 game changing pedals in 1977, consisting of Overdrive (OD-1), Phaser (PH-1), Spectrum (SP-1), Equalizer (GE-6), Compressor (CS-1 ) and Auto Wah (TW-1 ) followed by Distortion (DS-1) in 1978, allowed BOSS to establish its identity as one of the industry leaders. The features covered here represent just a fraction of what the ME-80 can do. And while the ME-80 is not without limitations (most often these are fair tradeoffs for simplicity), it’s a smart, streamlined way of getting a lot of sounds for very little dough.

Their current manufacturing portfolio includes compact, twin and multi-effect pedals, pedalboards, electronic tuners, digital studios, samplers, solid sate amplifiers and other electronic equipment. Their units are manufactured in Taiwan and Malaysia. Today, they are one of the leaders in the field of Multi-effects (Multi-FX) pedals.

But again, it’ll most likely be used by guitarists in gigging covers bands, so that massive selection of branded sounds might be more for the benefit of the guitarist than the audience. In saying that, the emulations on the RP360XP aren’t terrible.

Hmm. It looks like fewer effects and amp models than some cheaper models. I’ll assume that at this price, they’re aiming for quality over quantity. This will work well for… Boss ME-70 is a floor-based processor that offers the compact design and simplicity of a stompbox. With dedicated knobs for each section, a new, high-quality COSM engine derived from the GT-10, and added EZ Tone and Phrase Loop features, the ME-70 is the ultimate easy-to-use floorboard powerhouse.

Our Picks for Review

On board you’ll find some very flexible effects and sound-sculpting tools, including compression, seven types of overdrive and distortion, a three-band equalizer, phaser, noise gate, digital delay with up to two seconds of delay time, chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, tremolo and reverb. This is the ME-25 driver for Microsoft® Windows® 7 64-bit Edition. This driver also supports ASIO (Steinberg Audio Stream I/O Interface).

The ME-70’s dedicated knobs for each effect section allow full, fast control over sound creation, just like a stompbox. The knobs make the ME-70 incredibly easy to use compared to traditional multi-effects units. Users will also love the new Phrase Loop function for sound-on-sound creation, with up to 38 seconds of recording time. Its EZ Tone function allows for fast and easy tone creation via simple effects presets, so players of any level can create superb tones of any genre within seconds. I feel many guitarists would favor the fact that it has more buttons and knobs than some of its competitors – it means less scrolling through options and general fiddlingand lends an air of a no-nonsense to the pedal’s design and functionality.The Boss ME-30 is also exceptionally well suited for use in home studios. Many functions are accessible only with the keypad, but most of the ones you might want to access in live performance, such as the sampling function, are accessible via foot control. The LCD is unlit, but it glows in the dark for several hours when exposed to light for a brief period. A bright single-digit LED displays which bank of settings you’re in, but whether this is a factory preset or your own creation is shown only in small letters on the LCD. The two leftmost pedals in the top row also let you select presets when in “ memory” mode, which is activated by the upper right switch. There’s a raft of cool factory presets. But creating your own is a straightforward, three-step process. This is the ME-25 driver for Microsoft® Windows Vista® 32-bit Edition. This driver also supports ASIO (Steinberg Audio Stream I/O Interface).
