To my gear advisor Nate, This will be my next piece of gear!!!!!
Are the 1\4" outputs TRS or just tip and sleeve?
@@johnzawicki5032 I don't have one, but I'm sure if you call Sweetwater and talk with a gear advisor, they will gladly answer this question or find out.
@@johnzawicki5032 Thanks for your message, John. Great question. Outputs are unbalanced ¼”.

@@sweetwater thanks for the information. Really sad they are unbalanced. If they were I'd buy one right now. But that makes it a definite no.
The best feature is the ease of use that so many others seem to overlook , when on stage you don’t have time for complicated
Absolutely
I appreciate all the knobs. For me, nothing kills the enjoyment of using hardware more than menu diving.
1 million percent yes. Ease of use, ease of power, all attention on your playing and not on menus. There’s only 3 knobs per pedal and everything is so obvious compared to lugging around a big pedalboard or navigating menus on the hx stomp
I’m a single channel kinda’ fellow,
-this thing is pretty rad man!!
I dig how you have the separation of the eq’s above the footswitches.
-that’s dope AF Boss!
Sounds great Don! Thanks for a killer demo!
Great demo, cool and clear. I admire your guitar expertise. Cheers!
Great demo! The Boss ME series always provides great effects, and this one does sound amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻
I used the ME 70 for about 4-5 years and LOVED IT!!! I never had the chance to try the ME 80 and the ME 90 was my latest purchase. What I love about it is that it has all the sounds we all love from the ME 70 and also, the EQ is VERY responsive and sensitive! If you know how to EQ a good tone, it’s a WONDERFUL unit! It’s like an amp, not 10000000000 amps and effects, you have what you need and it’s more than enough!
Yes, you are right. Acctually I want to purchase Boss gx-100 but I have not that much budget. So I think this Me-90 is also the same powerful unit . I don't need the 1000 of tones. From last 5 years I am using boss gt-1, Now I am thinking about this unit me-90.
Great product, great review and you play great!
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Extremely impressive Boss. This one's gonna be around for many years to come. 👍
I love the versatility! Next purchase found!
Best overview of the ME-90 I've seen so far - thank you very much!
True
I was sold on the intro as tone was awesome and the licks tasty 😮
Then i got so many options that my head hurt 😬
Really in a good way 😊
Great demo..
Great demo and amazing playing! ☮
Some pretty good guitar playing! Boss products are amazing. 😎🤓
Very nice demonstration.
Great, informative video. 🤘🤘thanks.
Excellent review!... but... unless I missed it, no mention was made of the extra amp models and effects available when editing with BTS under the type "Selectable". I bought the ME-90 immediately it was released, and well done Boss! Talk about hitting the Bullseye! There are quite a few more amps and effects available when you use the PC editor. These extra amps etc are not selectable from the front panel (manual mode) but can be used in any patches you create (memory mode).
Is there a manual for setting up your ME-90 with your PC?
I have the m-80 and love it! I didn’t think I’d be interested in the me-90 11:03 but I’m definitely getting it! It sounds great and has features from the gt line.
Have you got it?
If so, are the sounds really better than the old ones?
In all these videos I'm kinda disappointed with the gain sounds, I don't know if they're all using the wrong output setting or what could be wrong.
This here is one of the best ...and it still doesn't sound really good to me.
wow this device is a beast. this would be a great compact and portable board for gigs
this is exactly what I've waited for. right fx, sound, flexibility, and cost. I will be selling my pedal board & buying this right after. finally! I play in a band & record solo at home. this will be perfect.
hey sweatwater team,
cool review this device reminds me a lot of playing in several different styles with pedals and good amps like prince did. i think i read that he also used boss pedals and some mesa amps or so. Everything is available and sounding just very very nice.
you can dial in some cool effect without menu so thats great. And you are not supposed to be scrolling and getting lost inside the menu. This is a really great device and i am looking forward to get one soon. I used for years the me 50 with a mesa boogie heartbreaker and that was really sounding good to me. I need something where i can turn knobs when inspiration kicks in.
cheers
I have it it’s so easy to use better than the endless patches etc .. from the other boards a good board to complement my other board.
Nice playing.
I love the me90 I can't wait to order it when I save enough money 🥰😍🤟🤘🎵🎶🎼🎸😁
I really like the ME series over the newer sleek models without knobs, staying true to the 80s vibe aesthetics is a total win imo and obviously makes for a more straight forward experience. Another reason is that it reminds me of the movie Predator lol..those alien signs
Got mine in as soon as Sweetwater had them available. Arrived Thursday went out with it Friday. Absolutely the best multi effects pedal for me. Easy to use. Sounds GREAT. I love my ME-90!!
Also question for you for patch/preset changes. Do the knobs move to the proper positions on their own every time you change presets/patches? Or does the device just change the settings internally and bypass the knob settings once the preset/patch is loaded? Just something i've been wondering.
Once you save a patch with the desired levels, they are recalled to those parameters when you select the preset. If you go to change a value, you can see the numeric value you saved as reference for the changes being made.
@@smoothsavage2870 It does not have motorized knobs, so they do not move on their own.
Thanks for the responses.
Can we here any demo from you of distortion section, overdrive etc...?
My korg a4 will do it for about 22 years now! And thats unique in these days!
Hey great video Don. Hope all is well. Was nice meeting you in Chicago at the Blake hotel this summer. Cheers
Very good 😎🎸
I figured out what needs to be done to get these better sounds, there are too many levels and gain stages and it gets nasty sounding if they are up higher. Use the X crunch , gain 3/4, (level no more than half way, ) you need to turn on the eq /fx 2 always. It’s the” post” eq . Lower that level below half , now you have a cleaner headroom . Now use the main output at its highest range , 3/4 or more , this will balance the gain stages . Add a Ts od, if needed for metal , gain off, level below half , tone past half . Keep both eqs knobs moderate , boost or cut. This is for di, line to pa. Also raise the gate to 50.
I had sold my ME-80 and regretted it. Before this came out I was hoping Boss would upgrade the ME to have all the new AIRD models. Curious why they didn't continue the 00 theme by calling it the ME-100?
Anyway, I got impatient and got a used POD Go. All (well, most) of the Helix models for a much more reasonable price! Honestly, there isn't a bad modeler on the market these days.
I will probably pick one of these up eventually as I'm replacing my tube amps. Hard to justify them anymore!
Honestly the Pod Go is great and gives you a little more freedom than the Me-90. Like you could use two overdrives if you wanted.
Also, on the Pod Go, did you know you can export a preset on your computer, open the preset in notepad, remove the Amp, Cab, and FX loop from the code, save it and import it back into the pod, and then you have extra effects blocks and DSP. If you fill them all out, it does get buggy because the unit does run out of dsp without warning when you do this.. But it will totally work for adding like one extra effect when you are playing into an amp and don't need an amp sim.
@@TheDilligan I didn't know you could tweak the code. I have an old POD HD desktop that I use primarily for the FX. Used it was cheaper than any new reverb pedal.
What speakers will you use?
Yes, it was worth the wait, and, it does just what I wanted it to do. I wanted something that was simple and easy to use. I use it as a simple set of stomp boxes. The F/X loop is a pleasant addition.
Worth the wait and worth the money. I like it because I don't have to scroll through a lot menus to get the sounds that I want.
Got mine 2 weeks ago, and it's been a real pain. I wanted to use it as a simple set of pedals, but every time I turn the unit off all my manual setting are lost. I have to manually turn the knobs on each effect to get the effects to work, they are never correct, and require complete re-setting. Have you experienced this problem?
After you select the manual settings that you must hit 'write' to save them, if not the ME90 will not automatically save them, and you will lose them every time you turn the F/X board off.@@MortandHarley
Great demo from SW as usual
You r holding my dream guitar😊
Yeah, I have a pretty decent guitar collection, but even I envied that one. :) Rock On!
hello, what did you amplify them on? live PA system? or in an amp?
When installing the Boss Bt Dual on my ME 90, only the midi drive was recognized. My phone is an IPhone 14 and the application worked perfectly but I can't stream audio through the device. Any tips on how to solve this problem?
i like your style
I love my me-80
i use a boss GT3, it sounds amazing. the only way id get one of these is if i didnt have to pay for it lol.
Not only is it a great Multi Effecter, it also can double as a lethal weapon🥷🥷
How do you turn on the expression pedal?
If it’s any better than the me-80 don’t think I could stand it , I love it
Bitchin RAD Shoes man! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
For anyone who already owns this device:
When you create patches and save them, do the knobs all move into place on their own once you load the saved patch? Or does the device simply save the knob settings, then bypasses how the knobs are currently set once your saved patch is selected? Hopefully this question made sense. I've been looking for videos just to see what happens when a saved preset is selected lol.
It saves them as set, regardless of where the knobs are. They are not automated.
@@Nightwinflyer Thanks for the answer. That might be a cool feature to have down the line, but i can also see how that could cause issues. Might be a good thing that they didnt automate them!
@@smoothsavage2870new video explains that you can switch the function
Same with me, hunting for videos on line on how to save presets in manual mode and then recall them during live. I've been able to create one user patch for manual mode but I'm still not sure how to create another one with the different effects? I just got it recently so I know I'll figure it out. I do like that nifty preset that Dan is playing at 02:20 but I did notice something; Only the Reverb and Mod pedals are lit up but in the button section only Pre-amp, Comp, Mod and delay are lit up, and it shows U! so it's a created preset. I'll ask Don about that sound and how he created it and saved it, especially since I got the ME 90 from Sweetwater.
@@grooveu1965 Ahh Sweetwater. They're the absolute best!
Great review
Hard to gauge on you tube but I just don’t find these sounds compare to my waza pedals
ME50 Is no comparison - and is extremely limited but I found that very limiting and frustrating
May be an easy gig solution but not for purist sounds
I would buy it today if it had a drum section like the rc-5. Guess I will hold out for them to release a ME-90R.
I think it is actually better to have a separate drum section, you see, people who use thus plug to amp and you'll get a distorted drum sound that way.
It is better to find a looper or drum machine pedal to a pa or speaker if practice is what you aim to do.
@@wckoek not better for me.
Terra echo is not sounding stereo … why ?
Cool shoes
The only amp I have is the Roland street cube ex . Would the ME90 work well with it and how best would i connect it ? Thanks in advance
Hi, derekhandley3270. Yes, you could use the ME90 with the Cube Street. You’d want to run from the output of the ME90 to the Line In on the Cube. The ME90 has a switch on the back to switch the output to Line Level. That will bypass all the amp modeling in the Cube and allow you to dial in your tones straight from the ME90.
Thanks for your interest!

Sounds good. I have a Nux 30. Now. It sounds good but takes a lot of time to set it. Love it though id definitely buy one. So much quicker and easier to use. Its on my bucket list. You can't go wrong with Boss products. 👍🎸💯✌️. But of course it depends on the guitar and guitar playing 😂😂 ✌️✌️👋🎸. Smoke on the water 😂😂✌️
If my cheap amp only has two inputs (ftsw and standard input) can i run this? New to pedals as a whole.
Yes, it will run perfectly fine in mono mode. You would use the output labeled Left/Mono. :) (and at $350US you can’t go wrong! I just placed my order.)
Mine sounds like a lot of digital fizz (15%) and non-usable novelty patches (85%). There may be something to it yet, and there may be some usable sounds to it, but I'll have to deep dive and ferret them out of the device. Why is it always on me? And why can't Boss produce something with 6-7 really usable sounds and call it a day?
So how do you use the Looper??? I cannot work it out - great video by the way
Hi, Les. The looper is part of the Delay section of the pedal. If you set that section to Phrase Looper, the Delay footswitch essentially becomes a simple 1-button looper, similar to the Boss RC1 pedal.
Thanks for your interest!

how are you getting the tone at 2:22?
Can this effect the reverb? sorry for the noobish question but i am trying to get this as a gift for christmas for someone and i dont know much about audio equipment
Hi, Adrian! Thanks for your question, it’s a totally valid one. The BOSS ME-90 does have reverb as an effect along with several other types. The effects are used individually as well as combined. Please see the walkthrough videos on our site to get an overview of the product:

can I send modulation to my effects loop on my amp while send dist ect to the front of my amp?
Hi, tyson1ize! Thanks for contacting us with your question. Yes, the routing you asked about is available using the “four cable” method. Uses the in/out/send/return of the ME-90 in combination with the input/send/return of your amplifier. This method provides a lot of flexibility!
Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

No cabsim?
Is this designed to go into the front end of a tube amp? Or the effects return?
Both or Ether.
Most likely will soumd terrible into the fromt end though.. Uou also wont be able to change tones if youre looping and layering if its plugged into the front end
If it had midi implementation I would get one.
to me, the only problem with this is that for 350 usd, you can buy much more intuitive and easy to use units, like Valeton, Headrush or Mooer, with much better results in terms of tone and without that fizzy high-mid end thing that many boss products have when you play anything with an overdrive or distorition
Do you know if you can connect an aux input to it?
Hi, Rodrigo. The ME90 doesn’t have an aux input but if you add the Boss Bluetooth Adapter, you’d be able to stream music into it for practice purposes.

I don’t think there is a better effects system than the Boss ME series if there is no one has shown it yet
Headrush pedal board
The G-series have better sound quality and far more effects and way wilder, but not as convenient as the Me-series. I have the Me 50 and since today the me 90! 😊 can't complain, it's fun and changing banks happens with no latency.
@@paperoverflow That was my point of ease of use , complicated on a dark stage can be your worst nightmare
@robbeygreene6962 Headrush is really cool. It just isn't as compact as the Boss Me. Having a large pedal board defeats the purpose of having a multieffect pedal. Also it is desirable to have a few amps to really get full advantage of the Head Rush. I tend to use it only for specific noise experimental projects only with synths.
does it have stereo delay or panning?
Hi, Josh. The time based effects (modulation, delay, and reverb) are in stereo, but there isn’t a panning delay where the repeats bounce from side to side.
Thanks for your interest!

Can this work with a Fender Champion 50xl?
Hi, shayh.3556. Yes, it could definitely work with that. The amp modeling portion isn’t going to sound great when run into a guitar amp so you’ll probably leave that section bypassed, but the rest of the effects will work great.

@11:19 "The foot treddal"? What is a treddal? 😂
My experience with multi-effects pedals is supported by this video. There are many effects that are “interesting” but really not usable. I have the feeling that manufacturers of these pedals value quantity over quality. As a result, users can only really take advantage of a fraction of the available options. That said, that fraction is still worth the investment vs. buying individual effects for those of us on a budget. But be warned, buy this or any multi-effects pedal and you will only use a fraction of the available effects as the rest are “interesting” but not practical.
More is better thinking. I agree with you.
Feels like we're never going to progress past the single input and single FX loop with this type of unit.
It become s a moot point, how good it sounds. Guess it's a price point thing.
Honestly it didn't sounded as good as Line 6 Helix but what the heck it is still the best of its type and no competition for people who prefer real knobs to menu and banks.
The Helix is also more than 1000 dollars more expensive than this unit...
Is it good for bass?
Hi, EJ! Thanks for your question. There’s nothing that prevents the use of the ME-90 on bass. As with any new effects unit, it’s a good practice to compare it against your dry tone. If you like your original tone, then the effects are there to enhance, not completely change. There’s no such thing as an effect that is only good on “x” instrument. It’s really up to the player and their application.

Too bad there is no Mic/XLR input it would simplify things when using it as a recording interface or the solo gig. That isn't stopping me from drooling over this thing

BOSS/ROLAND has never failed once. And don’t say the Metal Zone. You just don’t know how to use it 😂😂
I bought this thing hoping for a simple unit to take to rehearsals blah blah blah. I think it's a piece of garbage. It's too much of a compromise between all the sounds that you can get. Plus the digital Distortion sounds like garbage. The amp modeling section sounds terrible! None of those amp models sound any good and I have never ever used them. Same with the EQ section. I'm only sorry I waited too long to send it back to sweetwater. I mean Don makes the saying sound amazing here but don't be fooled because when you get it it's not going to sound anything like this.

Bah, it's mediocre at best with a lot of limitations. Do your research and don't be fooled by sponsored videos (sales pitches)
I own it. Sounds great for rock/classic rock at least...tired of endless menus.
It's for newer players, or players on a budget. For $350, you get some effects to play with, and some amp models too.
That's why it,'s an multi effect processor 🙄
I don't get it!!! I bought an ME-80 years ago and soon after sold it!!! I wasn't impressed then and I'm not impressed now!!! This is a lazy and cheap way to make money!!!! With all the tech out there now, and as big as Roland is, I am disappointed!!! Adding a couple of thing and an app to re-brand the same old product from years ago, does not qualify as a new innovative product!!! If their not careful, Roland will be left behind!!!
