Boss ME-30 Review

History:

Purchase: I got this on closeout at my local music store for $140 US. It had just picked up my first guitar, and wanted something to expand my sound possibilities

Pros: Easy to learn. I got mine open box, with no manual, and had to figure it out. Volume is nice to use. Easy to change programmed sounds, or to use in manual mode turning on and off effects.



Cons: The Wah Wah. Plain and simple, you won't like it. It changes the sound in any position that you have the pedal. I also wish the LCD was backlit. It does kind of glow, but is still hard to see in low light situations, or with glare.

ME-30 Quality: Very tough. Jump on it, stomp on it, it will still go. As time went on the spring on the expression pedal got loose, but I find I like it. I leaves the pedal in one position when you aren's using it.

Boss Summary: This was a great thing for me. I am still learning, and I found it helped motivate me, being able to re-create the sounds I heard from my favorite bands. If you use a Wah, keep the one you have, don't figure on this replacing it. Great for someone who is learning, and gets tired of just the sound from their amp.
