A top choice among performing guitarists over the past thirty years, the Boss ME-90 Multi-Effects Pedal is the newest incarnation of the popular pedal unit that combines multi-effects capabilities and user-friendly controls, allowing for the creation of custom tones within seconds.

The ME-90 represents the pinnacle of the ME lineup, boasting its impressive audio quality that includes 24-bit AD/DA conversion and 32-bit floating-point processing. Not only that, but it incorporates flagship-grade AIRD amp models, the ability to load speaker impulse responses (IRs), an effects loop, and numerous other advanced features.

Despite its power and versatility, the ME-90 remains compact and can be powered by batteries, making it convenient for various playing situations, and making it perfect for players looking for minimal hassle during setting up and packing down at shows. Packed with premium BOSS tones, this all-in-one processor is a reliable and flexible tool for constructing personalized sound setups, making it more accessible than ever to get the sound you desire.

Key Features:

• Hassle-Free Sound - Offering a user-friendly experience with its intuitive knob-driven interface and wide range of effects to choose from, the Boss ME-90 allows you to effortlessly create and adjust your desired configurations and tones, much like a pedalboard filled with various stompboxes, but without the inconvenience of dealing with tape, power distribution, and multiple cables. Simply select an amp model or effect type from the available categories, and with a simple twist of the knobs, you can achieve your desired sound. The device comes with 36 preset patches featuring professional-grade tones ready to be played, and an additional 36 user patches to store your custom creations.
• Adaptable Real-Time Control - Featuring eight footswitches with smooth, quiet operation and an expression pedal with an integrated toe switch the ME-90 allows users to utilise Memory mode to call up complete patch setups with the footswitches, and then switch to Manual mode for direct on/off control of each effect category within the patch. The footswitch LEDs light in different colours for quick identification in the heat of a performance. It’s also possible to set all LEDs to light in a fixed colour for each mode if desired.
• Premium Effects - With the ME-90, you gain full control over an extensive array of BOSS effects, as it offers seven distinct categories filled with options derived from the flagship GT-1000. This comprehensive selection covers everything you could possibly need, ranging from overdrives and distortions to pitch/mod effects, delays, and high-quality reverbs. Additionally, you'll have access to 11 dedicated Pedal FX, a looper, and specialized effects like acoustic simulation and down-tuning. In total, there are 60 effect types to choose from, and through BOSS Tone Studio, you can access over 20 additional effects. To incorporate external pedals, the ME-90 provides a convenient send/return loop, allowing you to save the on/off status of these pedals within your patches and position the loop before or after amp models in your signal chain.
• Larger Than Life Amp Tones - In addition to its wide range of effects, the ME-90 features meticulously ported amp models from the GT-1000, powered by our advanced AIRD technology, ensuring an authentic tube-like tone and responsive feel. It offers eleven onboard amp types, catering to various styles, from clean combo sounds to aggressive high-gain stacks. For even more amp options, you can explore additional selections through BOSS Tone Studio. Each amp model is accompanied by a dedicated cabinet sound, allowing seamless connection to a PA system or recording device. To further personalize your sound, you can load three of your favourite speaker impulse responses (IRs) into the ME-90, allowing you to achieve a truly customized tone.
• Edit and Customise To Your Needs - BOSS Tone Studio is a powerful software available for both macOS and Windows, designed to expand your creative possibilities with the ME-90. It grants you the ability to edit tones, modify amp and effect types by swapping them with alternative selections, and explore a wide range of customization options. Moreover, you can conveniently save and organize patches for different gigs, access professional setups from BOSS Tone Central, and share patches with the vibrant ME-90 community on BOSS Tone Exchange. To enhance your experience even further, the ME-90 supports the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor. This allows you to wirelessly stream music from your mobile device and shape tones with ease using the dedicated BTS editor app, available for both iOS and Android platforms.
