Boss ME-90

The BOSS ME series has been the top choice for guitarists on stage for over three decades. It combines the power of multi-effects with an intuitive control that allows you to shape tones in seconds. The ME-90 is the most advanced model in the ME series, offering exceptional sound quality, flagship-level AIRD amp models, an effects loop, and much more. Compact, battery-powered, and packed with premium BOSS tones, this versatile all-in-one processor makes it easy to create individual sound settings for any playing situation.

With its knob-driven interface and wide selection of effects, the ME-90 allows you to create and customize tones with the ease of a pedalboard filled with stompboxes. You can easily select an amp model or effect type within a category and turn the knobs to achieve the desired sound. There are 36 preset patches with ready-to-play professional tones and 36 user patches available for storing your individual creations.

The ME-90 features eight footswitches with smooth, quiet operation and an expression pedal with an integrated toe switch. You can use the memory mode to recall complete patch setups with the footswitches and then switch to manual mode to directly toggle on/off each effect category within the patch. The footswitch LEDs light up in different colors for quick identification during a performance.

The pedal provides you with a vast library of BOSS effects. Everything you need is here, from overdrives and distortions to pitch/mod effects, delays, and high-quality reverbs. Additionally, there are 11 dedicated pedal effects, a looper, and special effects such as acoustic simulation and down-tuning. In total, there are 60 effect types to choose from, with access to over 20 more via BOSS Tone Studio.

In addition to its effects, the ME-90 includes amp models inherited from the GT-1000 and powered by advanced AIRD technology. Eleven integrated amp types offer everything from clean combo sounds to heavy high-gain stacks.

With BOSS Tone Studio for macOS and Windows, you can expand your creative horizons. You can edit sounds and replace some amp and effect types with alternative choices. Additionally, you can save and organize patches for different performances and exchange patches with the ME-90 community on BOSS Tone Exchange.

The ME-90 is lighter than its predecessor while maintaining the rugged durability for which BOSS is known. The expression pedal has also been redesigned to allow for even finer parameter control. You can power the processor with four AA batteries or an optional power supply, and a switch on the back instantly optimizes the outputs for use with a guitar amplifier or a full-range sound system like a PA.

Communication with BOSS Tone Studio is also possible, and the USB-C output allows you to use the ME-90 as a computer audio interface with your preferred music production software.

Whether you're on stage or in the studio, with the BOSS ME-90, you have the ultimate tool in your hands to take your sound to the next level.
