Product Overview
Since 1988 guitarists have looked to the compact and rugged BOSS ME series pedals to drive their sound, and the new ME-90 proves why. Constant innovation, attention to detail, and reverence for the past come together to make the ME-90 the most advanced Multi-effects on the market, from the company that defined that market. Exceptional audio quality from 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating point processing and intuitive tactile control allow you to quickly craft the sound in your head so you can get back to playing. Real-time control allows you to hear the changes as you make them like a classic stompbox without the hassle of patch cords, hook and loop tape, and multi-power supplies. Premium BOSS amps and effects include eleven onboard AIRD amp models and 60 different effects derived from the flagship GT-1000, plus there are 36 ready-to-play preset patches to get you started. And there are another 36 open patches for storing user setups. A dedicated amp section and seven simultaneous effect categories combined with the BOSS Tone Studio offer endless options for creating the ideal sound for every song. It's a tone-tweaker's paradise. You can even load up to three speaker IRs using the ME-90 IR Loader software for Windows or Mac. A multi-function expression pedal with toe switch gives you control over volume, wah, and a host of other variable parameters. The ME90's output can be optimized for use with a guitar amp (combo or head) or direct connection to a full-range PA system, so you always get the sound you want. And if you have some favorite boxes that you can't play without, the ME-90 welcomes external pedals via a rear panel send and return effects loop. Thousands of guitarists. Over 35 years. Find out why with the ME-90.
