BOSS has unveiled the newest addition to their acclaimed ME series, the ME-90 Guitar Multiple Effects. This all-in-one processor has been designed with the performing guitarist in mind, offering an unprecedented combination of multi-effects power and hands-on control. Packed with exceptional audio quality boasting 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating-point processing, the ME-90 promises to transform how guitarists craft their tone.
With 30 different knobs on the panel, the ME-90’s intuitive interface makes it easier than ever to select categories and dial in sounds. The device offers 36 preset patches with ready-to-play professional tones and 36 user patches for personalization. From flagship-grade AIRD amp models to an impressive library of 60 effect types, guitarists have endless possibilities to explore. Additionally, the ME-90 supports external pedals and offers control over the signal chain.
Best Features Of The ME-90
The ME-90 is not only about effects; it also includes amp models derived from the GT-1000, all powered by advanced AIRD technology. This enables an authentic tube tone and touch response, providing everything from clean combo tones to high-gain stacks. Guitarists can also load three user speaker IRs, and each amp includes a dedicated cab sound for PA or recording purposes.
The pedal configuration is another highlight of the ME-90, featuring eight footswitches and an integrated expression pedal. With Memory or Manual mode options, players can call up complete patch setups or have direct control over each effect category. The colored LED lights on the footswitches offer quick identification during performances, with fixed color options available.
Integration with BOSS Tone Studio for macOS and Windows allows users to organize patches, edit tones further, and access the ME-90 community via BOSS Tone Exchange. An optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adapter further expands usability, allowing wireless control through a dedicated editor app.
Maintaining BOSS’s reputation for durability, the ME-90 is lighter than its predecessors yet doesn’t compromise on build quality. The newly redesigned expression pedal allows even more precise control, and either batteries or an AC adapter can power the processor. The USB-C output and rear-panel switch provide versatility in connectivity, whether using a guitar amp or a full-range sound system.
Availability Of The ME-90
The BOSS ME-90 is a game-changing addition to the world of guitar effects processors, combining versatility, ease of use, and high-quality sound in a compact package. Now available in the U.S. for $349.99, it’s time for guitarists to discover what the ME-90 offers. For more details, visit www.boss.info.
