Learn About Boss ME-70 In This Gear Review!
| Overview |
The Boss ME-70 is the next incarnation of the ME-50 that has been out for a long time now. The best thing about the ME-70 is that the guys at Boss finally added some amp models to the unit. Now, if you want to just plug straight in to an audio interface or a P.A. you can do that with the ME-70.
Lots of effects and loads of cool features make this offering by Boss pretty irresistible for the price. The ME-70 is a great alternative to some of the more complex and more expensive floor based multi effects modeling units.

$299.00 Pretty good price compared to most of it's competition.

The ME-70 is definitely a step up from the ME-50. The amp modeling makes this unit way more usable in many different applications. Having said that, I am not a huge fan of amp modeling but it is pretty convenient for recording, practicing and playing in live situations where you can’t use an amp.
When compared to other brand that use amp modeling technology the ME-70 is no better or worse than any other products out there. The effects are your standard boss quality staples.

I love how all of the knobs are laid out on the ME-70. There are no menus to slow you down. Creating new patches and editing old ones is quick and easy. If you are recording direct or using a D.I. to go into a P.A. this thing makes that super simple. All you need is the ME-70 your guitar and a cable.

I recommend the ME-70 if you want something that has a lot of effects and is simple and easy to use. If you want something that gives you a lot of crazy options and a lot of detailed controls this might not be the option for you.
