Boss ME-80 Wah, Volume and Expression Pedal Demo

The Boss ME-80 features an expression pedal for volume, funky wah wah, smooth pedal pitch bombs and delay and modulation blends.... So put your foot down and get creative ! In this video Jamie demo's the ME-80 pedal with a Roland Cube 80 combo with a Fender Standard Strat and we also recorded the intro and outro tune with just ME-80 featuring a few of the pedal and preset patch sounds...

The Boss ME-80 Multi-Effects processor increases the specifications of its predecessor the Boss ME-70, and combines key features from the flagship Boss GT-100, quality-wise the ME-80 could be classed as providing studio-level effects, however its as easy to operate as a stompbox.Under the bonnet is an array of ultra-realistic COSM amp models that will replicate some of the coolest amps in history, and the ME-80 even has up to 38 seconds of loop-style recording. It can run on 6 x AA batteries or an optional A/C mains adapter and there's also a USB audio/MIDI interface built-in whilst the ME-80 offers 8 simultaneous effects.

On the dashboard of the Boss ME-80, you'll find a pedalboard-style layout of gig-friendly footswitches,intuitive controls and an expression pedal that allows you to quickly dial-up your favourite tone and shape it in real-time. Live guitarists will admire the Boss ME-80, but so too will production boffins, thanks to free Boss Tone Studio software that allows deep-level editing on your computer, and gives a web connection to the gig-ready patches and endless guitar content at Boss Tone Central.

Mobile, battery powered, and filled with a diverse selection of flagship-quality BOSS amps and effects, the ME-80 is the ideal compact tone processor for performing guitarists. A friendly knob-based interface makes it simple to dial in great sounds in seconds, while easily selectable operation modes offer the flexibility of individual stompbox-style on/off or instant recall of complex multi-effects setups. Unique new footswitches deliver twice the control of previous designs for efficient and intuitive effects switching, patch selection, and real-time sound shaping while playing on stage. The free BOSS TONE STUDIO software unlocks even more tonal possibilities, providing a cool graphical interface for tweaking and organizing sounds on your computer, plus a web connection to BOSS TONE CENTRAL for direct access to free gig-ready patches created by top pro guitarists and much more.

At 2:17, the pedal is saying "Jack Daniel, Jack Daniel, Jack Daniel."

[ShivaAshutosh]

[Unplugged]

Is it possible to set a volume limit on the expression pedal.? For example set a limit of 50.. versus it going down to 0?

[Alex_Khouri]

Boss, please make a bass version!!!! I will buy it IMMEDIATELY!!!!

[joshflugel]

It would have been cool to show a bit more of his hands playing

[macleadg]

When I hit the pedal, the light comes on, but the effects don’t work. But, sometimes the light turns pink, the effects do work. Can’t figure out how to make it turn pink; just seems to have a will of its own. Hate this thing.

[fordfuryk]

Great demo series on this pedal. Wish you'd wash those shoes tho 😜

[johnong]

Does memory mode stores the pedal fx? If I change banks, does the pedal fx changes too?

How do you make it go OFF/ON in manual mode? (not inside the software)

[mystixeditz]

How do I turn the pedal fx the Nob section on to change it to fx?

[lanswipe]

Is it possible to adjust the shift so that it's less than an octave? I'm after something that can give me a pedal steel-esque slide. I used to own a Tonelab but they discontinued them so when I returned it under warranty they had no replacement units to send me.

[Faireza]

[danielg]
