Boss ME-30 Guitar Multiple Effects
My old
effects box. With 16 onboard effects enhanced by ultra-clean
digital signal processing, the effects included
Compressor, analog
Distortion and
Overdrive,
EQ,
Phaser, Noise Suppressor,
Chorus,
Flanger, Pitch Shifter,
Tremolo, Delay,
Reverb and Amp Simulator,
Wah, "Tremolo Arm" and
Ring Modulation and a built-in
expression pedal, this has proven to be quite a
trustworthy piece. The effects are applied at CD-quality 44.1kHz.
It also has a built-in "Phrase Trainer" that can record up to 12 seconds for "loop"-style playback, and slow down the sampled phrase to as low as 25% of its original speed without affecting its pitch, which is
theoretically really cool for learning new licks. However, I found it to be
ass.
My only complaints are that it is a
battery hog and that it does not
bypass when turned off.
