Thoughts? Got ME-50 back in the days, so being pretty nostalgic. I must say this unit has woken up some excitement in me, even neural dsp quad cortex can't do (I just don't like something about it; it is great for band stage performance, where you need to connect everybody in one mixing board, but else- bruh). Buuuut. I think Mooer Black Truck ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-secgRm1zsCM.html has better sparkling distortion sequence, so M80M would sound better with it, than with ME90.
I find myself going back to “less is more”. Been using my amped3 lately and love it. Switchable wattage, tube sound, takes pedals. And analog knobs. I’m enjoying it!
Jon you're an absolute production wizard. When I seen which piece of gear you were using here I was thinking "He's going to have his work cut out for him".... I should have known you were going to make this sound incredible!!
Great to see another perspective on the ME90. Funny, I always hear your tone cut through no matter what you use. But perhaps that is also a testament to the ME90 as it was able to deliver what you needed. Great video!
2:12-2:32 DUDE!!!!.....that was such a brilliant throwback to the early 2000s modern rock/nu metal/pop punk era..... anything right from POD, Linkin Park, Chevelle, Deftones, Yellow Card, Incubus, 3 days grace, Fallout boy...... everything nwas covered in those ,20 seconds ......thank you so much for that ❤❤❤
A correction to your comments: i use the 90 as an interface clocked to a 96k DAW. At 96k you still get all 4 channels and there is no impact on available dsp. A note, i am using 48k ir’s in this setup.
Self-admittedly I will say that my love for the analog sound keeps me somewhat ignorant to a lot of digital gear these days. Which a shame because I don't get to appreciate just how far this platform has come. This was a crucial pathway in any of our guitar playing journey's at some point, and today... it's completely convincing. Great riffs as always. ✌️
I used to use a boss sy-1000. Had the same 1000 series modelling but with some features removed and synth capabilities added. I find it interesting what boss decide to incude and exclude in their various products (gt-1000/core, sy-1000, gx100, me-90, gigcaster etc...) Never had much complaints sound wise, especially their own stuff like the x-modded stuff, but what seriously upset me was the lack of support. Their updates, even for the flagship gt series seem to be slowing down. For my sy-1000, I couldn't connect it to my Mac, despite waiting over half a year and boss releasing a new product (gigcaster) at the time. It was like they didn't bother providing necessary drivers for the older stuff, but made some for their new products. I did get drivers in the end after contacting customer support, but its upsetting nonetheless. I wish they had the same mindset and support as companies such as Line6 and others. Anyways, great sounds as always Jon.
Between this, the GT1000 core and the boss ME90 which is a better option in terms of: - getting an almost mix-ready sound that I can directly plug into an audio interface to play /record - getting a great sound when connecting it to a PA speaker (not an amp) if I intend to go ampless on stage
I always compare our amps and what we have. I don’t have any orange, and sold all my Deizels. But I’m jealous you have a white Red Seven. I have the black one. Im just a nobody lol. Do you have the MLC V VOGG or the Silenoz 93? The spikes on that thing are legit! You’d be hurtin if you dropped it on you! Anyway, just foolin. Late at night and watching your vids 😊
Oh man....I started back then with the ME 70. Great unit. I regret selling it. Then upgraded to the ME 80. That was another great unit But I liked the sound of the ME 70 better. The my final acquisition was the GT-100. I'm sold with that one....+ a few stomp pedals. And yes, you can gig with them 🤘
Great demo! Sounds pretty good, looks like a nice all-in-one option for some players. I have a GT1000 core that I use for my effects into a tube amp, works great and keeps my pedalboard compact. But... what I really want to see is your demo of the Orange OR30! :D
I'm thinking I might pick one of these up in the next few months. The integrated expression pedal is a huge selling point, even if the tones lack some of the refined touches you'd find in a Quad Cortex or something. I've never used effects pedals before, so this seems like a good starting point. Thanks for the great review! Do you have an affiliate link that gives you a kickback? I'd buy through that. Edit: Also that 8-string song was pretty sweet
Hello there! Thank you for this review! Can you give me your opinion on Boss's COSM vs AIRD tech. Can you , as a player feel the difference in how it responds to your playing dynamics? I want to understand if there is considerable difference between boss GT1 (COSM) and Boss ME-90 (AIRD), in how it responds to your playing..
Imo it's how you win at gear. Old boss is still good, it's cheaper, plentiful, but don't got slick ads or youtubers pushing it (expect some). I say all this but, when I was young, I had to try to get what the rockstars had. I'm no different just, learned over time. It all has a use, pick it up cheap.
Should i get boss gt100 or boss me90. Is boss me90 being a newer modeller superior to boss gt 100? Boss gt 100 comes in around same and even less than new boss me90 in terms of cost. Im looking forward to get one for live stage shows. Big stage shows. Not gigs
Best pedal board in the world.. Limited to only choice of best sounding FX from bigger brother, but in my opinion more is less. Best thing is that it have knobs instead of dumb menus and touch screen. Turn a knob instead of ranting through menus. Thats all needed. With IR loader this think is pure LOVE!
I still Have ME-50 awesome live unit,still kicks ass😅 nyt this thing has got My intrest For few cababilities that it keeps in... First of all drop tuning, i Have 3 differend guitar and use mostly D# and DropC and E standard so instead of swichin between 2 guitars this gives me chance to swich tuning easy wit no sweat😂
Fantastic review man! Not to crazy about the clean tone since I found it was lacking on high end (maybe some eq from the unit could fix that or selecting another IR?) but the crunch and high gain tones were insane. BOSS should hire you to make demos of their products
Really wish someone would do a demo of these type of devices through a pa system to see how fizzled out or not fizzled out they sound that way I work at GC and not one customer in 2 years has come in wanting to demo any devices through a daw Most are tube amp drooling gas afflicted want to hear how it sounds through real speakers kind of folks This doesnt indicate anything useful to me in how this thing could be used live which is pretty ridiculous because the pedalboard style layout of this unit would indicate to me its ideal for live but it aint looking like thats the case I just want to play guitar sometimes without having boot up a computer setup everytine i want to just grab a guitar and rip into a sesh 😢
Wasn't really crazy about the high gain tones.... they seemed to lack a little depth and an "organic" quality and fullness so to speak, but loved the clean JC120 amp and the modulation, reverbs and delays were gorgeous. I think it would sound killer running a real tube amp head with the time based effects from the Boss.
Yo man ! Vu le matos que tu as et à voir tes vidéos tu vas pas me faire croire que tu utilises le boss ? Un headrush ou line 6 etc ok mais la ??? Tell me why ? Business maybe
Hi, Jon, Did you perform any post-eq of guitar tracks in DAW (apply high-pass/low pass filters etc.) for Hard Rock Demo? Or you just loaded a custom IR into the ME-90 than made a double track and that it? Thanks
To me, the 80 is thicker sounding for my tastes.. I haven't spent as much time on the 90 yet but I will be grilling it for the next few weeks to see if I can justify keeping it or moving into the HX platform@@SonicDriveStudio
@@leviyambao5575 it’s amazing. For what all it does (like fx loop/daw integration via usbc /IR loading plus all the custom patches available and customizability not to mention the tones!!!!!!) it’s a no brainer -KEEPER
Mine sounds fizzy and somewhat too digital. I have 6-7 truly boutique sounding tube amps that just kill. I was hoping to get rid of most of my 100 pedals, keeping the doz. or so main keepers. Plugging into any of my amps means the digital thinness just takes over. The patches are mostly sonically useless novelty stuff that no one could want. Instead 3000 of useless ones, how about 6-10 sounds anyone could be happy with. I'm now thinking this is just a cheaply made box Boss can sell 2 million of and call it a day.
Why are the developers of amps and processors allowing the downloadable content on google products? Like the Chromebook? Makes it a real pain in the #$%
