I just got a Be-5 and it is awesome. Completely different to getting a multifx that is digitally modeled Sounds much better than any modeled one I've ever tried.
I got one and despite all the other pedals on the board, every pedal i have during my lifetime, i respect the sounds the BE-5 and is one that sits in my collection.
Thanks for the great re-demo...by all means, be as gear nerdy as you wish...I'm all ears for it. The BE-5M was my very first multi effect pedal. My actual first effect though was a Yamaha DI-10MII distortion pedal I won in a raffle at a music store. My number was called off and they told me to 'go to the bin' and select whatever item out of it I wanted. I think the bin was a bunch of things they couldn't sell and wanted to get rid of. So, I picked the distortion pedal. Don't have either effects any longer. Guess I didn't realize then how lucky I was to have them...but I knew they sounded good. You've encouraged my nostalgia.
Great demo! I got it for 50 bucks 10 years ago, and I am keeping it as a backup for my pedalboard. I have had to repair the sucking input soldering once - this thing is so damn hard to open. - The BE5 definetely steals transparency from your guitar tone. But there is a little trick to compensate: put the compressor on lowest influence (or to your always-on-setting) and let the compressors tone control add lost frequencies.
The CE2 uses the MN3101\MN3007 Chips at 9 volts (they can handle higher). This uses the MN3102\MN3207 which is more like the CE-3. The problem was 9V batteries died pretty quick with the MN3101\3007 (back then was no multi pedal power supplies etc, most did not even own wall adapters) so the MN3102\3207 was produced with lower voltage requirements so batteries lasted longer. The design had to change so the CE-3 was made to replace the CE-2. You can get the MN3102 and 2 MN3207's out of a Danelectro FAB Flange for less than $20 used (2019 prices). I built a bunch of CE-2's using the BOSS service manual schematic. I got the MN3101\3007's out of a roland HP 400 digital piano (free), two Traynor Guitar Mate 20 Amps ($20 each) and some older DJ type mixers like a Realistic SSM-2200 (free) and a Pyramid PR-8300 SFX ($40). I wrote this because i build pedals, especially old BOSS and Ibanez circuits) and was just looking at a BE-5 for sale for $100 USD which is way too much for just the chips inside. With the 3102\3207 you could build a CE-3 or a Ibanez CS9 (I did from the FAB Flange chips). You could also build a BOSS CS-3 or the LM-2 Limiter with the PC1252H2 Chip. I built both of those as the HP 400 had 2 PC1252H2 chips. But I decided not to spend that much for just those chips in the BE-5. Keep the BE-5 intact for that price. Nice demo you did as well !
At about the same time Ibanez/Maxon made another very similar unit to this - the PUE5 and a bit later on - in 1991 the Ibanez Power Trio. These are good units and both BOSS and Ibanez used their most sought after circuits in these fun boxes.
Great sounds. Had one of these in the loft for years but never got it to sound that good, so I've been up there and dug it out to see what I can do. The owners manual has 5 setting samples which I remember trying out and not liking, and also there's reference to a manufacturing / importing certificate specifically for the BE-5 dated 1984.
I remember seeing the ME-5 in a guitar magazine when it first came out. I was 17 and saved my money for almost a year to buy one. I used to run everything through it, guitar, bass, drum machine, vocals. It’s pretty amazing for its time.
Ah man. I love comments like this! Gives context to my wondering and also the gear! I’m considering picking up an me5 and starting a retro boss multi collection!
Dan, great that you are doing this !!! I had the ME-5. Bought in 1988.Sold 3 years later and bought the Roland GP16. I regretted that! Now I have the Kemper and it is great. Still I want to get the ME-5 2nd hand.
I’m hoping to get a few more ‘retro’ bits of gear in for demo. I’m so intrigued by the stuff I used to see in guitar magazines when I was a kid that I never managed to get my hands on! Thanks for watching 👍
Great video mate. We used to bang these units out by the barrel load at Machinehead Music in Hitchin back in the day. It did come out as a budget unit - a sort of multi pack of Boss pedals. I remember being blown away by how cheep it was. Another unit that caught the eye that year was a new brand called Zoom who released a belt clip multi FX unit and I think the guy from the Farm wore one on TOTP. Life was good back then 😊
ne ho comprate due nei primissimi anni 90 quando ero in Inghilterra , le presi da A1 Music Centre in Preston Lancshire, la prima me la rubarono insieme alle mie chitarre quando ci svaligiarono l' appartamento..... che tristezza , poi ricomprai la seconda... chissà se non era proprio la mia che mi avevano rubato..... e comunque la ho ancora oggi e fa il suo sporco lavoro!!!! Grazie per lo splendido video, complimenti.
Nice demo! I have one of these and a super nerd trick is actually to cancel out one of the stereo outputs. And hey presto - the chorus becomes a tremolo! On the other hand the stereo-out is awesome.
I used to have a boss me5 and I wish I hadn’t got rid of it. Had forgotten the model no and looked at your vid and voila there it was. Many thanks. What I remember was that the distortion was brilliant (well it’s what I wanted) I exchanged it for a boss gt8 and was disappointed. The guy in the shop gave me a great exchange deal so I guess he preferred the me5. I was taken with having a load of effects and only after realised that I only really used a few effects. I’m gonna look for a me5 but I guess like me, it’s due a bus pass. Thanks for your vid
Cool to see some of the older gear. I loved my Boss pedal in the "olden days". It's easy to forget how we got to where we are now. More please. How about a look at a Sessionette combo?
I’m definitely hoping to do more on the older stuff. It really fascinates me. This BE5 is likely older than me! I did actually have a Sessionette combo for a bit but it never worked properly. A friend gave me it after he found it in a relatives garage. I think it had been home to a few spiders and possibly a mouse in that time 😂
@@DanLeggatt Guys I am 62 now I used to play in a middle of the road band pubs and working men clubs, I used and still have a 77 les paul std sessionette 75 and a BE-5 used for everything shadows through Chuck berry to police and sting Brian Adams didn;t know any different so sounded great to me! Ha Ha cheers
The BE-5B has speaker emulation, so I use it with a Headrush FRFR112. Sounds great with the drive set at about 10 o'clock and direct/OD balance at about noon.
Beautiful sounds, beautiful playing and beautiful presentation. This unit seems great. I'm only a bit concerned about the the od section (not a fan of boss drives) and the impossibility to create patches, but you need a bit of compromise if you want that vintage mojo.
Very nice! Mu first one was ME6. I went working hard for 2 weeks on construction during summer holidays and in the end i bought a brand new ME6! Was very nice! It would be awesome if you made a comparisson between that one and the GT-1000! Would you do it? Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
You made me buy one a year ago. It's really an underrated forgotten gem but the plastic case and especially knobs are a bit too on the delicate/cheap side.
I’ve had this one since 2004 I think. My dad tracked it down for me as a Christmas present. I’d read online that it was 4 actual Boss stomps in one box and you could actually score them pretty cheap when they did come up. It served me really well for a few years while I figured out pedals and built my first few ‘pedalboards’. It doesn’t get used much now but a lot of sentimental value. How was the Yamaha you traded it for?
@@DanLeggatt it had a lot of programmability so worked well for the effects heavy 80s sounds we were all into then, but looking back the digital drives were horrible! Shortly after that I just started plugging straight into a JCM800 which suited me much more. It’s absolutely amazing how far pedals and technology has come in the last 30 years or so.
@@MrNeilfatmonkey It’s crazy to think about the progress. It’s funny how things come full circle too. It’s also funny to listen to some of those early digital distortion/ amp modellers and wonder in some cases how they ever sold any 😂
@@DanLeggatt I go in cycles; from super old school straight into an amp with just a wah, to super high tech programmable stuff like the Helix and then somewhere in between. We’re just a fickle bunch. Although I have settled finally on my favourite drive sounds in both amp and pedal form: my Mesa Stiletto and Bogner La Grange into a clean amp.
I never had one of these but I did have an ME5B which I think was my second or third multi-FX. I can't remember it very well but I think that the actual sounds were quite good although I did eventually replace it with a bass POD.
They look like a cool piece. I’d like to grab one at some point to have the set. The bass version actually seems a bit harder to come by at a good price. Perhaps there were less sold.
I was a roadie for bands back in those days, & owed & BE5 but only because I couldn't afford the ME5 that the signed bands I worked for owned, the ME predates the BE
Hi Dan, brilliant nerdiest nerdism, great demo and playing. Now, I had a ME5 but I thought it was earlier than 88?! So I will have to do some research into my past and see if I am getting confused with something else possibly a Korg unit of some kind. I had both so I am probably getting them muddled up.
Thanks man! You could well be right to be honest. It crossed my mind that the dates in the manuals may not have been from the first year of production. Let me know if you find anything out! 👍
@@DanLeggatt not sure.... I think I´ve seen some videos from 1985 tours with kind a pedalboard like that... The video quality wasn't good so maybe I´m wrong (dire straits rhythm guitar player from live aid show)
@@DanLeggatt Hi Dan, Antonio is getting nearer to when I thought I had the ME5, I thought it was 1984 to 1985, but what do I know, I am an old git now and have had so many changes of gear over the years that I am probably talking out of my H&H solid state combo ass.
@@DanLeggatt I'm not a huge fan of the drive. But then again, I'm not a huge fan of drive on bass in general. All the other effects are great. And the fact you have a 10 band EQ is just amazing. Plus the fact that it probably costs half the price of the pedals if you bought them all separately.
Oi bom dia sou do Brazil, cidade de Curitiba, eu estou com um desses é ótimo, porém o pedal do compressor, não liga direito, e faz muito chiado, está com problema, por isso não posso usá-lo, tentei consertar, porém é caro e sem garantia...por isso uso apenas os outros efeitos, menos o compressor.. show gostei do vídeo, coloquei legenda em português (Brasil)..pois meu inglês é horrível.... parabéns 😊

Great story man! Thanks for sharing.
That intro was sparkly 👌🏻.
😂 Nice description! Cheers 👍
After using Zoom multi effects pedals for years I decided to dig out my Boss BE-5 which I bought about 30years ago cant believe how good it sounds
Great demo! I got it for 50 bucks 10 years ago, and I am keeping it as a backup for my pedalboard. I have had to repair the sucking input soldering once - this thing is so damn hard to open. - The BE5 definetely steals transparency from your guitar tone. But there is a little trick to compensate: put the compressor on lowest influence (or to your always-on-setting) and let the compressors tone control add lost frequencies.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out 👍
ah, that is why mine sucked - literally was sucking out the frequencies. From memory I bought mine new for 50 bucks in 1992.
I bought a boss be-5 in 1990 and I still have it with its original box. I liked your video.
Awesome! Cheers 👍
Awesome! I bought mine in either 1990 or 1991 and I still have it. Good memories. Best chorus ever as it’s a stereo version of the CE2
Definitely! Almost worth it just for the chorus 😂
The CE2 uses the MN3101\MN3007 Chips at 9 volts (they can handle higher). This uses the MN3102\MN3207 which is more like the CE-3. The problem was 9V batteries died pretty quick with the MN3101\3007 (back then was no multi pedal power supplies etc, most did not even own wall adapters) so the MN3102\3207 was produced with lower voltage requirements so batteries lasted longer.

Nice review, owned one since I was a teenager, bought new with money saved from a summer working as a car washer🙂
Awesome! Love it when gear has some history behind it. Thanks for watching 👍
@@DanLeggatt also bought a secondhand Washburn Hawk that summer and foolishly sold it to a friend of mine who has it to this day :)
Great video mate, I have the ME5! I would definitely agree they are both quite elusive 🤦♂️🤙🎸
yeah now as soon as you played Rush I wanted one !!
LOL, I still have one. Must have soldered it a 1000 times. It had some great sounds.
Absolutely!
Had the BE 5 in 89/90 loved the delay and chorus and hated the drive section, but would love to have one again for sentimental reasons. Great demo
Cheers man!
why sentimental reasons idiot these are the same boss pedals as today😅
That overdrive sounds GREAT!
Overdrive is the weakest part of this multi effect but with some pickups works well.
Never heard about BE-5. Awesome! Great video!
I have a Boss ME-6 since 1996.
How do you like the ME6?
Dan, great that you are doing this !!! I had the ME-5. Bought in 1988.Sold 3 years later and bought the Roland GP16.
I regretted that! Now I have the Kemper and it is great. Still I want to get the ME-5 2nd hand.

it is exact boss pedals all analog these will start to go up eventually
I got one off ebay after watching this awesome demo. My chorus doesn't seem to be working properly though... 😢
Are the BE-5 / BE-5B and BE-5M the same circuits?
You made me buy one a year ago. It's really an underrated forgotten gem but the plastic case and especially knobs are a bit too on the delicate/cheap side.
love this kind of early days gear!! thx a lot! does it colour the tone?? any tone/feeling suck??
It’s not too bad actually. I wouldn’t swear it’s totally transparent but it’s definitely not the worst I’ve experienced.
I had one of these! Wow, that really was a trip down memory lane. I traded it for a Yamaha FX7 if I remember correctly.

Oi bom dia sou do Brazil, cidade de Curitiba, eu estou com um desses é ótimo, porém o pedal do compressor, não liga direito, e faz muito chiado, está com problema, por isso não posso usá-lo, tentei consertar, porém é caro e sem garantia...por isso uso apenas os outros efeitos, menos o compressor.. show gostei do vídeo, coloquei legenda em português (Brasil)..pois meu inglês é horrível.... parabéns 😊
i missed the sound of this gear
Had a BE5. Should never have sold it. Sounded great. Had an ME-5 too, but I found it to suck tone a bit. to be fair, it was 30 years old at the time.
Still got the ME5 on my list to check out when I can.
Nope, the ME5 was earlier as a simpler version of the 1987 Roland GP8 on the floor, so the progression is opposite of what you think...
.......Yes, more cheese please
😂😂
15:40 Iron maiden somewhere in time tone!
me5 was first
BE-5M was mine, bought 92. It was just a toy, couldn't get meaningful tones out of it, never sounded as good as just a DS-1. I guess I always saw them as something fun to play alone with but not something you take on stage. You loose your clarity with all the effects when competing with drums. And ever since I discount anyone who uses them.
guitar - cable - good amp. that is all you need.
I traded it for a Marshall valvestate 40 combo. That amp was a revelation in the era of Nirvana's nevermind.
I have a boss me-5 thinking of selling.. dont use it.. i have a pedalboard with the stuff i need :P
In a pedal chain where should i put it?
I have a be 5m and i still dont get it
