The Boss ME 90 is one of the less expensive guitar all-in-one pedals yet it packs a ton of features including 11 Boss AIRD Amps, 60 Boss Pedal Effects and enough connectivity to satisfy the most curious of guitar players. In this video I share tones, features and tips for this feature reach Guitar Multiple Effects Pedal. The boss ME 90 4 cable method allows you to connect it to a real amp while providing a logical effects order. The Boss ME 90 is a great direct recording device providing 4 channels of audio through its built in audio interface. Could this be the best audio interface for guitar? I show tips on how to utilize the Send Return in its built in effects loop, features of the Boss Tone Studio and how to optimize the ME-90's output for your setup. So if you play electric guitar and you are in the market for a multi effects pedal then you should definitely check this video out.

Jon Fine here. I’m a retired professional guitar player, I quit playing in 2016 when I fractured several vertebrae and lost the ability to walk. I haven’t picked up a guitar in years, and my chops are gone. I’d like to get back into it, but I haven’t had an FX unit in years; my old Digitech unit died on me years ago and I haven’t bothered to replace it. I’m looking pretty seriously at this new Boss unit-I had good luck with Boss pedals in the past, and my first multi-FX unit was a Boss ME-5-that should tell you how long ago it was! The state.of the art in multi-FX has improved greatly since I quit playing. I don’t mind programming, but I hate diving through menus like I had to do with the Digitech stuff-hit the wrong button, or the right one at the wrong time, and I’d get totally lost in the weeds with no idea of how to get back to where I’d been. Knobs, give me knobs, so I can see my settings! The ME-90 looks like it might be what I need, as long as it’s not too big; I need to reach the pedal and all the switches with my left foot, from a wheelchair. Anyway, I liked the video-you get a Like from me!

Hi Jon. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and share your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you have faced but it's very brave of you to push yourself back into playing and I for one am cheering for you. I think the ME90 has great features for the price. The hands on controls are definitely a plus. Ordering effects might be a little frustrating as there are limitations there but the quality of what you get for the money is really good. And if you go into manual mode, the big foot switches activate each individual module making it easy to control individual effects right on board. So that may help you. Good luck with your purchase and hope to hear from you again!

I LOVE mine now that I did the 4 cable method. Literally the BEST money I have ever spent on gear in 20 years of playing. So easy to use and so versatile. The only complaint I have is the writing is too small on the controls. It sounded kinda bad just going into the front of my amp. 4 cable is the way. The computer editor sucks though.

One thing overlooked is the ME-90 has far more switches than many of the higher end units, meaning in manual mode you have a lot more control over the individual effects. However, the one big issue for me is the poor implementation of tap tempo. In manual mode you have to hold down the delay on/off footswitch to change to tap tempo mode, and hold it down again to turn the fx off. I think it would be better if you could allocate the ctrl footswitch to tap tempo!
@LonelyRocker Жыл бұрын
I guess there is always something. It has a ton of control for the price point but it’s not perfect.

I wanted that 4 cable function so bad! So, I sold my ME-80, saved up some extra dough, and eventually got the ME-90. It was a total waste. The ME-80 was a much nicer experience. The ME-90 4 cable method didn't have sonics of other products -- even older products. The Vox Tonelab comes to mind as having a better sound. The difference in price was not worth it. In the end, I miss my ME-80 for what it was and regret selling it.

Here’s a tip… If you have a Hughes and Kettner Red Box lying around, try running your ME-90 (line setting) into it and XLR into your FRFR. It preps the signal for full range in a really nice way. Compensates for not having low/high pass filters onboard the ME-90.

Do you have experience maybe with bos nextone or Laney cub-super 12. Both have fx-loop so for both i will be able to use 4cm. I just wonder if a small tube amp will fit better then bosses transistor. I just need it for a late night home playing and i don’t want to invest in number of boss pedals. Therefore me-90 plus an amp.
@LonelyRocker 11 ай бұрын
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! I haven't used either but I personally would always lean to the tube amp. To me it's more fun and I like driving different things into the amp to change up the tone. But you need to play through them yourself to know which one feels right. But since both have an effects loop you can 4CM with both of them...good luck convincing the wife! ;)

A question re. the effect loop: I'd like to use my Boss DD500 *after* the ME90's delay block, but from your video at 7:00 it looks likes the SR Blok is *before* the ME90's delay block. Is there a way to put the effect loop after the ME90's delay, so like really at the end of the chain? I regret very much that Boss dropped the long delay (6s) of the ME-80. I could even do frippetronics on the ME80. Sadly, I find that the ME90's 800 ms maximum delay time is but a sad joke :-( But I could use the ME90's reverse delay then use the DD500 for long delay times. Thank you for your help!

My pleasure! The one limitation on the ME90 is the limited ability to order the effects. It’s kind of pre set as I described in the video except for the two settings I mentioned.

Great video. I have a Katana 50 MkII. It has a power amp in block (which bypasses the amp's built in effects), but no send / return ports. Does the power amp in port basically negate the need for the 4 cable method? I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.
@LonelyRocker 11 ай бұрын
Thanks! I don’t have a Katana so I can’t be very specific but I know that is a very different thing. An effects loop in a real tube amp will respond very differently than a digital amp. I know the ME90 and the Katana share some amps and effects and are actually designed to work together. So I wouldn’t think about the 4 cable method in your case and just find the connection to your amp that suits your needs. I hope that sort of helps 😎

@@mfohr I've been doing a bit of testing. In some cases (like on cleaner settings) it sounds good through the guitar input with the me90 set to gt. Input (probably because the preamp in the amp is set properly to work with that speaker). So you might be able to use it as a stomp box without the preamp switched on. I'm using that less and less as i learn how to dial in the right settings with the power amp Input. In all cases use line for the power amp in. It sounds great to my ears.

@LonelyRocker 11 ай бұрын
Sorry for my slow response. You can but remember this has built in virtual amps so in essence you are plugging an amp into your amp's preamp if you go through the input. If you sue the 4 cable method through the effects loop you have control over where the preamp is in the chain and you get better placement of effects before and after the preamp. If you do plug into your amp's input I would turn off the preamp block and just use the effects. Hope that helps!

Do those two communicate well with each other via the 4 cable method? 2. Could I switch the 3 channels of the TM40 via the ME90? Or should I hook the H&K FSM432 up to switch channels, and does that communicate well with the Me90 :) ? Total noob in the world of multiFX. Gracias! Greetings from Belgium

Ok so far I really am enjoying the me 90 but the weird thing I'm running into is when I run it into my IO via the left mono out using the same gain I do when running directly from my guitar ,I have to turn the volume on the ME90 all the way up to get an even remotely decent signal. Now I haven't tried the USB into my daw yet so I will try tomorrow . But you would think I could get a better signal than that . And I do have it in line mode on both the board and IO. When I use just the ME90 alone and run it into the headphones it has great volume with the main volume barely past 9:00

Hey there I’m a bit new to understanding the use of the effects loops on amps and whatnot. So I have a boss rc 600 looper, the me 90 and an amp with an effects loop and was wondering what would your recommendation be to use all these together in the best way possible? I’ve plugged the guitar into the me 90 and the output to the amp whilst running the rc 600 through the effects loop on the amp. Is this an ok way to set it up?

Think of the loop station as a recorder. You want to capture finished sounds with it. You can take the output of the me90 and go straight into the 600. You can experiment with recording dry amp tones and adding fx on the 600. That would be a start. Hope that helps!

I have a Strat with Duncan: two HotRails and one CoolRails. Do I need to be concerned with the HotRails being too hot to get a good clean sound out of the clean preamp models? For example, I really like the clean Twin sound. Within the ME-90, can the guitar's input level be dialed back so as not to easily get clipped sound? Or does one just need to lower the gain knob within the Twin preamp model?

The simplest answer is you would treat this like any amp. The volume on your guitar is part of the signal chain. Use it as you need it. You also have good gain and level control on the ME90 too. Tweak them all until you get the tone you desire. :)

The 4 cable method is when you want to use a real tube amp and want to be able to place your boosts and drive pedals before the REAL preamp and have your time based and modulation effects to happen AFTER the physical preamp but before the power amp.

Nothing with guitar is “a must”. Pedal order is always debated. But conventional thinking places boosts and drives before the preamp and modulation and time based effects after. The 4CM just gives you the option to do that. Without a loop all effects end up before the preamp which means you have no ability to change that order. So now it’s up to your ear. You also have no ability to bypass the amps preamp so you can never get a true sense of the me90 amps because you end up with a preamp into a preamp. So best advice is to experiment to see what combinations work with your amp. Hope that helps!

The mic to preamp to recorder is as much a part of the tone as the amp and speaker. A model of an amp already includes those things within the model. An FRFR speaker is designed NOT to colour the amp model you are playing through it. If I then mic a flat response cabinet and run it through a preamp to amplify that mic I'm now adding colour to that signal so you won't be hearing a true representation of the tones coming out of the FRFR cab.

Hello. I'm having difficulty being able to open the output setting and it's stuck on "tube combo 212 input" and can't change it. What's the problem with this??

Did you flip the line/gtr switch on the back of the ME90?

Oh, it's all far too complicated for a simple singer - but I enjoyed the guitar playing! 🙂

Np. Yeah. I believe it will have no affect on the sound in that case.

This video is a very good and thorough presentation of tips to get the most out of this device. The backing tracks are so distracting and terrible sounding. I'd love to hear the guitar by itself.

how's drop tune track?
@LonelyRocker Жыл бұрын
It's not bad. The pitch shifting works great as an effect. Got some good results. But for recording I found the drop tune feature wasn't quite good enough to replace actual de-tuning...
