These connection options allow you to use the pedal flexibly in various musical settings, whether live on stage or in the studio.

In addition to the hardware, Boss provides a software solution called Tone Studio for Windows and macOS, allowing you to further customize and manage your sounds. The software tool enables you to integrate new preamp and effect types and save your setups for different performance scenarios.

The Boss ME-90B provides a solid foundation for bassists who want to realize their musical ideas without compromising on quality and versatility. With its robust construction and extensive customization options, this floor pedal is a reliable companion for creative musicians.
