Boss ME50 – Overview

ME50

The BOSS ME-50 is a few years old, but you can pick up plenty of second hand bargains these days.

It comes packed with loads of effects and is a great practise aid.

Some of the features I use the most are:

• Tuner
• OD - Tube Screamer
• Chorus
• Delay
• Wah
• Volume pedal

If you are looking at an affordable alternative to having loads of pedals in the bedroom then I would recommend one of these, especially since the ME-70 is now out you can pick these up at a great price.

The main area I use mine for is practising against backing tracks as it takes headphones and an Mp3 player.

I wouldn't recommend using one in front of a valve amp as they tend to over process the sound but for the bedrooms a great solution to not annoy the neighbours.
