Boss ME-90

I'm a fan of Me-80 for its simplicity like stomp boxes. I am using it in manual mode every time in the live situation specially in the church praise & worship songs.

As a Boss ME-80 User for a long time, I am really excited to see the New Me-90. It finally arrived now my hands and I'm really happy that it came safely after 2 weeks.

I love boss product for its long term durability and quality.
The moment I see and hold the unit, I can tell that the ME-80 is superior in terms of build quality. The Me-90 is solidly built, its made of metal and hard plastic at the bottom, but as a long term user of the previous model, I can tell that the Me-80 is more solid, more heavy, more quality, and its metal all around, the plastics knobs also is better in th old model.

I am still satisfied because of the new Software updates, new pre-amps and the new effects added in the unit, thats the reason I purchase this.
Overall, Its still the best simple multi effects to use and I love it.

Thanks boss & thomann for the good service.

Great multi fx board. Upgraded from a pod line 6 live after my buttons stopped working after it's time of release, and all I can say is, it is worth it.

I play mostly metal, so dialing in some heavy tones is most important without adding extra noise into my chain. This pedal board does it all really, for such a reasonable price.

I have also started experimenting with cleaner tones and more ambient settings and it's amazing how versatile it can be. Anything from a rich acoustic vibe to a blackened death metal and everything in between.

It's drop tuning isn't the best, it could be better but paired with a Dunlop cry baby, digitech drop tuner and a better tuner you are all set.

Plus the pc interface is the best I've used in awhile and I really like the amp integration with the katana range (50w great for local pub shows and venues of 100 or less).

The fact you can use it to record to pc is great. Downside is the fact you need to by a bluetooth dongle for the Bluetooth to work with your phone/tablet is annoying, but with how much I play verses how much I tinker with my tone I don't mind not using Bluetooth, but you can also just use a type c-c cable and it works as well, cation: the better the usb cable (3.0 at 45cm) the better, some just don't have the data transfer strength this pedal board needs for data transfer.

Now it holds less profiles than my last multi fx board (32*4 profiles line 6 vs 12*4profile me-90) this is also OK because I never used more than 25 presets in a row, but the trade off is better sounds and better interface (no having to triple click on stuff to just activate like on the line 6). No screen just for tuner (this could be better, but a 10e tuner won't effect the signal change) but no screen isn't a bad thing either, one less failure point.

Power supply, you need to by one as one was not included and you can also run it off batteries (good back up but it will run your wallet dry buying batteries).

Overal very happy with this product, have used it a lot over the last few months and has made my playing sound better without battling dirty power PSUs for my single stomp boxes I used run. It's light weight, great compact design with everything a occasionally gigging Musican can ask for

Bought this unit december 2024 because I wanted something like Plug N Play. At first I thought it was a great deal, all the reviews I saw sounded like it was nice, but when I plugged it into my amp it was a disappointment.
The effects are very bad, there´s only a few that are "usable".
Ok, its pretty practical to work with, it has all the nobs in the panel so you can adjust everything very easily any time witch is awesome, its well build. It got positive thing, but overall it doesn´t sound good which is the principal

THOMANN DELIVERY.:

. was my first order.. just amazing .. traveled to my country on time and no issues at all.. very good service

THE UNIT :

+ME series is always my favorite and me 90 is good value for money.
+ runs with batteries for a lot of hours.. i ve never used power (only recharchable batteries)
+boss quality ,, no latency at all...
+ freeze effect, and other new effects and delays :) .. a lot of fun stuff,
there are extra options for amps (a lot of great clean ones)
+ i use it with the bluetooth adaptor which is great!!
+ the software works great.. (old days ..with me 80.. had a lot of bugs)

- ME 90 is a good unit for practice , performance and everything you can imagine but the sound quality is more <<digital>> when you compare it with the me 80 ,, you can achieve an <<ME 80 sound >> but needs more effort .. reverse delay is a bit different than the me 80 (less time maybe?).. some of the features are limited with no reason (for example the reverbs) and is not any more the unit which you dont have to mess much.. there are some issues as well when you overload the delays..
- presets are not as good as they could be :) but not a problem

overall ..

I sold a unit with a lot of features (which was more expensive) .. touch display and a lot of other things just to buy the Me-90. I dont regret it at all , the me-90 is a great quality unit but only needs some firmwares and updates..
