Boss Review: ME-33

History:

Purchase: I bought this unit when it was fairly new in Belfast Northeren Ireland for £250.

What I Like About This Boss ME-33: I like the fact that there is an almost unlimited supply of effects on this unit. Thats about it to be honest.

What I Do NOT Like About The Boss ME-33: Well I have decided that I am a single effects man from now on!! The ME-SS in my opinion is quite tricky to operate. It takes time in mastering. I find that there is not much grunt in any of the effects, especially the different distortions. You can get either a very well defined distortion, but with no real power or volume, or one with great power but very muffled. Its very tricky to get these sounding just how you want. The wah, as in all multi-effects units is pathetic. Its also a little expensive.

Boss ME-33 Quality Rating: Although made from plastic, it is quite a sturdy unit. However its a little large for my taste.

Review Summary: The bottom line is, if you like weird and wacky then you might get some use out of the ME-33. However if your looking for real guitar sounds then look elsewhere.

Rating of this Boss product: 1
