I was very skeptical about getting a multieffects pedal because I've had a earlier model and I couldn't get the tone i wanted but with this one you cab tweak every single layer as you add it. And I have thw EVH 5150 iconic and it's amazing with the 8 string LTD J R series using them all together made a huge difference and actually made me wanna play again and start recording my riffs again. That's my set up im running now. And very impressed with how many options the pedal gives and how the amp sounds with the Ltd. Love it

This thing is built like a tank and made in Taiwan. The effects all sound great to my ears and there are a lot of them. I read a lot of reviews on this unit before pulling the trigger and one thing stood out....the manual mode. Set it on this and turn everything off. Use it like a stomp box for whichever effects you want on and simply turn that effect on and dial it to your liking. Ive had Zoom multi effects along with a digitech rp350 which I still have but much prefer this new Boss pedal due to the the setup. I don't like going thru a bunch of menus to find a sound I like.

I've had the ME-80 for about 8 months and it has turned into my "GO TO" for everything. I was an amp/Rack/Pedalboard guy, but this unit has taken the place of almost everything from Studio to Stage.I'm a pro recording and touring guitarist and I now use the ME-80 for fly dates with either my Ciari Folding guitar (Both fit in a backpack) or my Tagima T-930. I also use in exclusively in my home studio and many times on sessions so I don't have to set up amps (Mostly Marshall)It has enough parameters and modeling built in that you really don't need amps. I highly recommend.

This is the first multi pedal I've purchased.I like it. It optimizes my practice time.Instead of futzing around with my gear set up ... I step on a switch, adjust a couple of knobs in that bank of effects, and I'm playing the next song. And I like it more the better I get used to it, I've had it about 6 weeks now and for me I think I did well buying this board instead of a $1500+ choice, and I was thinking that if the rest are at such higher price points I'll be wasting this $300, I might change my mind later, but I think this ME-80 will be enough.

This thing is sick, when I was looking for a pedal everybody told me to stay away from multi-effects pedals. They were so wrong, there are so many different tones and options in one little package it’s extraordinary. Flanger, chorus, and fuzz are just a few of the effects not to include the dozens of preamps and overdrive style settings including tube screamer. At first it was tricky to get the hang of so hold on to that instruction booklet, other than that it’s extremely extremely versatile.

An affordable effects processor
By: STEVEAUX
Submitted: 11/6/2020
Product Review
I needed an effects pedal all in one that could replace all the other pedal boards I have created. I have used the Boss’s other processors so I knew the quality would be good. This board satisfies all my needs. The effects are top notch. I use my own OD pedals and Blues breaker pedal for distortion which I think this board does seem to lack. The distortion doesn’t sound as good as individuals even from Boss’s assortment but was not what I purchased it for. The delays are crisp including the analog which I prefer and then if you add the dozens of other affects this board offers, it more than pays for itself. At this price you can’t go wrong for just the reverbs and delays alone. Not including tremolo, choruses, pitch trims, fender pickups, fender bright tones, etc. This will easily replace many affects pedals you own at a fraction of the price. Also you can download patches amor setups emulating other tones from artists or submit you own with the usb hookup on the back of the product.

Being somewhat new to playing, I was in search of the tone I hear in my head. Between amps , pick ups and guitars the combination of possibilities seem endless. But the ME - 80 solved the problem in one easy to use multi-stomp box. And like I said great tone. Just a little tweaking on my Marshall amp ( I was about to get rid of it) and I’m in business. I did download settings and tweaked them. Didn’t use any of the pre loaded ones.

Product Review
So far I am amazed. Having wrestled with the pedal board nightmare (because I'm on a budget), I sold several of my pedals, bought this and gave it a try. I am pleasantly surprised. Very low noise. It must be a distortion guitarists dream. I am not. Still, the Pre-amp and EQ with a pinch of Delay and Reverb make this an excellent choice for getting a good sound ... a lot for a little. At 38 seconds the looper is almost helpful, but, doesn't quite make it. You can use an acoustic guitar with it, which is a plus. So much stuff you may never use, but it's there for rare use. It's a no-brainer really, get one.

It's got a foot pedal with multi functionality, tuner, amps, and so many effects. Truley a great value other than buying so many pedals and constructing a board. Very satisfied with this purchase.

It failed to deliver what I was looking for, so I gave it to my son. He loves it. What they did well: Battery optional, well organized interface, knobs instead of digital menus, very sturdy construction, good delays and modulation, and ok looping. What they got wrong: It has tons of distortion sounds, most of which I didn't like. The reverb is horrible. Sounds like that cheap ART reverb (harsh and metallic) from the early 90s, and just one knob to dial in a mere 3 types of reverb. I ended up buying the Source Audio Ventris, which has made me a pedal board convert overnight. I'm just gonna stick with independent pedals from now on.

How it is just as easy as using a standard pedal.

I am a guitarist who loves his pedals. 95% of my pedals are BOSS pedals. I have used effects processors in the
past and became frustrated as it was hard to dial in the tone and effects one wanted. With the Boss ME-80 dialing in the tone and selecting the effects is just as easy as using a pedal! Saving your tone is just as easy and you can switch from preset tone {either factory or your own} to manual with just a tap of the foot! I normally don't write reviews but the Boss ME-80 deserves it. This is an awesome pedal and I have 95% of my pedals in a small footprint and do less 'tap dancing' than I would have to do to dial in which pedal and tone that I use on different songs! Plus, I can go to that particular song's tone with just the tap of a foot switch! I have not had this pedal but for a few weeks and am still being amazed by all that I can do with it!
It has more than met my expectations. If you want an effects processor that is easy to use, easy to dial in your tone and pedal and effect [and then be able to save it for instant recall], then this is the one!

First off, ive never been a fan of processors.. I’ve been gigging for over 20 years, I used an amp and pedal board for 19 of them. Ever since I’ve gotten this processor, I’ve not needed the amp. Less to load in, and it sounds better. I. An choose several different amp settings and have access to several different effects simultaneously. All of these settings can also be saved for each room. Everything about this set up is worth it. I highly recommend.

I use this pedal or small restaurant/bar gigs and larger venue shows. It has everything I need. I love it! For the price you cannot beat the tone that comes out of this thing. Simple to use right out of the box. I haven’t even delved into the presets, I just use manual mode. I pretty much only use eq, reverb, delay, wah, over drive, tremolo and phaser.
I used to use the Line 6 POD HD500 and I prefer the Boss ME80 tone. And it’s almost half the price.
Fast delivery and great customer service from AMS.
If you’re only looking to spend a few hundred bucks this is it.

I’ve been playing guitar – electric, acoustic, classical – since 1981. Been through stomp boxes, multi-effects units, computer-recording with effects and lots of “just playing.” The Boss ME-80 is the best piece of electronic gear I have ever owned. It has everything I could want, it’s easy to access and it was an unbelievably good deal.
In one box, there’s a depth of choices that was unimaginable when I first began playing in the 80’s: excellent selections for distortion and overdrive, all of them completely controllable with actual knobs, excellent selections for chorus and flanger modification, amazing delays and even a looper and a multi-function expression pedal. There also an amp-modeling section, an EQ section (which also can be used for additional effects: chorus, delay, boost, etc) and reverb. It even has an acoustic simulator!
What sets the ME-80 apart from other multi-effects units is its intuitive interface. For those of us used to pedals with knobs, multi-effects units containing “menus” are a lot of trouble; not that those units aren’t good, but the ME-80 is simply better because the controls are immediately available and simple to manipulate. There is only ONE display window that – in combination with the clearly-printed labels on the box itself – provide the user with the necessary information.
The 36 factory presets are excellent, but tweaking them, customizing them and saving them in one of the 36 user-programmable presets is really cool. The best part – saving a preset is easy and intuitive.
At $299, the ME-80 is an excellent deal. I own two other BOSS units for use with acoustic guitar performances (an AD-2 acoustic preamp and VE-2 vocal harmonizer/preamp) and I know how robust and gig-worthy they are; those two units cost me a total of $298 so to get the virtually infinite possibilities offered in the ME-80 for the same price? Well, it’s just a heck of great deal!

I bought the Boss ME-80 about a month ago, and I'm currently gigging with it now. This board is unbelievable! It has more options than I will ever use, the pre-amp and EQ feature....along with many other sound options, from Tape Delay, Reverb....to Heavy metal fuzz, to California 60s cleans. I bought this board in the first place so I could play it with my 1963 straight tube amp with only volume and Tremelo so I could fine tune the the sound! It delivers sparkling cleans, and screams on crunchy solos.....or use the multi function pedal that varies from 2 different Octave options, Wah,, Expression, and much more than I can mention.....If you don't want to spend a lot of time and money putting a pedalboard together....than this is your best bet. So portable and easy for travel also! Thank you AMS!!

Compact, tight, and rugged, with a very simple, intuitive user interface and excellent user manual.
It is refreshing to be able to simply plug in, press a couple buttons or a single pedal, and jam all night. Need to change settings, no problem; you can change via pedal without losing a beat! And, the pedals are made so that you can't accidentally "miss" one with your foot.
The tonal quality and variety of tones (and controllable parameters) can't be beat. Using headphones as an output, or outputting to an amp or the input of a recording board or AWS is easy and simple, and without any latency or loss of signal quality.
Another big plus is that it runs on batteries (for gigging portability) OR an AC adapter (sold separately). I am able to get almost 7 hours of use on new batteries.
The only drawback (for me) was that the AC adapter and carrying case are sold separately. But, regardless of that, I still can't recommend the Boss ME-80 enough--it is awesome!

Product Review
I've been playing for more than 50 years. Generally I feel if you can't get the sound you want from just a good guitar and an amp, you don't need it. But occasionally I like to flavor the sound with stomp boxes. I owned the ME70 a few years ago and it was great. This ME80 is every bit as good and then some. It is solid, and well built. The effects sound every bit as good as individual stomp boxes. There is no 'menu' to open up and reset and no 'computer engineering degree' needed to use the intuitive and simple to figure out setup. If you ever used a pedal, and can turn a few knobs, you can figure this out in minutes. I will probably never use every sound and effect this unit has but it is nice to know they are available. The blues overdrive setting, a little delay and some compression sound sweet together! For the cost of 2 or 3 stomp boxes, you get a unit which faithfully reproduces literally dozens of separate boxes. Could not be happier than I am with the Boss ME 80.

Worth the money for sure, but some may find the distortion a bit useless.
By: Daniel Stankiewicz
Submitted: 11/6/2018
Product Review
The modulation effects are everything that they should be. The phaser, flanger, tremolo, and delay are all of the quality standards that boss is well known for. Each functions smoothly and doesn’t cause signal drain while engaged. The way is a little temperamental, but once you figure out the sweet spot, you will be fine. This pedal combines so much that the parts are far more than the whole. The one thing that some may take issue with are the distortions. If you have a tube amp or a good analog distortion from your amp, you probably won’t have much use for these. With tweaking you can get some great sounds, but each takes work, so you’d probably want to save it under a patch so you don’t have to dial it in every time. This is a small issue though. There are so many toys to play with, you can spend hours just tinkering with the modulation effects. I previously had an ME-70 and I will say that the upgrades to this unit are pretty nice. The extra pedals allow for more control options.

Lots Of Bang For Your Buck

Product Review
Having such a large variety of effects in one unit that is both affordable and easy to use has focused my attention back on playing guitar instead of fumbling around for a good sound. The knob based interface eliminates menu-diving and is very intuitive to guitar players that have owned a pedal or two. I have to admit that for the first few days that I owned the ME-80 I got caught up in discovering the endless combinations of tones and effects that were now at my fingertips, but once I familiarized myself with each preamp, overdrive/distortion unit, delay, and other cool effects, I got back into playing with a newly restored confidence in my sound. Whenever I want to get a certain sound, dialing it in only takes seconds. On top of that, the construction is everything you'd expect from a Boss product. Solid and ready for years of abuse. And for the price of 3 Boss pedals, you're getting an entire assortment of them including Tera Echo and Overtone. True story: The other day I was standing over the unit and my guitar strap slipped. My Fender Strat went straight down onto the top of my ME-80 with a bang. Panicked, I inspected it while turning each knob searching for damage. Everything was fine. However, my guitar now has a nice little hickey on it from the incident.

Versatile and compact,seems well built but the tones are not very good.My boss delay pedal is great but the delay and chorus on this thing are not very good and forget about the distortion;very digital sounding.If you are not overly picky about tone it's compact and serms well.made but i.just couldn't live with the tones and returned it same day.

I put off buying one of these types for a few years, was very happy with my Fender Mustang until I connected the ME80. I love the range and options available.
Only complaint is, the A/C adapter should be included or at least hard wired.

I was faced with the task of either spending hundreds of dollars meticulously building a pedal board pedal by pedal or painstakingly learning the ins and outs of a complicated digital combo pedal board. The Boss ME-80 solved both issues without breaking the bank (got it on a 4pay week end so a very modest $75 is very financially digestible).
The effects are all easy to adjust with the analog knobs that display their settings on the digital screen, the tones all sound amazing, not at all sounding digital or modeled and there's enough options and variations to make even the most complex tones and effects a reality.
My only gripe about the whole setup is it does NOT come with a power plug. I was a little shocked really to find out it didn't come with one stock, so make sure you add one when you buy this.
All in all though I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this pedal board to anyone looking to take the headache and financial burden out of a full pedal board setup.

Product was everything it said it was and easy to use. They should add the 9 volt power system with the purchase. The looper could be longer. BUT! I love this product and would recommend it to any musician . Also it arrived on time , just in time for a show! Easy to transport because of the compact style. Cuts down on gear size.

You figure this unit is the cost of two pedals. This thing is loaded with great effects! All sound great! Ease of this thing is unbelievable. Within no time I had set up three patches that were very usable. By no time I mean within fifteen min. Although it seems there is some noise interference with some effects. Only when you hit the high notes of solos. Although I am thinking it is something obvious I am overlooking? This is the 2nd unit they sent me a quick exchange. It still seems to have this noise interference. So I am thinking it is something to do with set up. I do have very critical ears, so maybe I'm crazy idk? American Music Supply is right on track and willing to deal with you. Had a few problems getting it on four payment plan. But they came thru and now enjoying my purchase

Terrific upgrade from the ME-80!

Product Review
I loved my ME-70 but always wished I could turn off the reverb and have a dedicated delay for slapback. The ME-80 does exactly that. With 8 footswitches instead of 4, the setup is exactly the same as the ME-70 on the bottom 4 switches and the top four turn the preamp on/off, the additional eq/effects (which I have set as my dedicated slapback delay) on/off, the reverb on/off and the last switch is for manual/memory mode toggle and doubles as the tuner switch when held for 2 seconds. Outstanding! (now if only it had stereo XLRs out)

Years ago I had a GT-3 that I loved for its raw "analog" sound. Each subsequent GT model (and I bought one of each) got further and further away from that sound so I went back to stomp boxes. The ME-80 is the first multi-effects unit I have heard since the GT-3 that captures that hot analog/tube sound, except it is WAY easier to use than the GT series. The double action foot switches are genius. Forget what you know (and don't like) about multi-effects units, this one is different.

Gives you all the sound choices you want and at a price you won't believe. If you purchase just three pedals you would spend more money than this multi effects pedal costs. Buy this and get rid of your other effects pedals.

I needed a compact, portable, multi-effect board with an expression pedal. The Boss ME-80 is exactly what I needed and included great features. Here's a summary of what I wanted and Boss ME-80 delivered in no particular order...
expression, wah, volume pedal.
easy to configure independent tones & effects
AA battery powered.
AUX IN cuz I like to jam along with my favorite songs
8 foot switches and easy to understand knobs
Record out and AMP out allows you to connect to any amp or powered speaker or PA.

Think individual pedals would sound better but for the price its worth a try.The manual doesnt tell you how to run it thru your effects loop witch I did and sounds alot better. I use the EVH 50 watt head and 2x12 EVH cab.

Quite Impressive Pedal Board

Product Review
I had been using a Line6 POD HDX for a while and like it, But because it became very tedious to change parameters by computer, on stage adjustments were a hassle. I had an ME50 years ago and decided to check out the new ME80 and I'm glad I did. I really liked my 50 but I really really like my 80. It has so many more features plus they are stepping into Line6's territory by having the ability to go to Tone Rome and download professional patches. This pedal board just has more of a raw sound than the Line6 did and I like that. It's like having 7 separate stomp boxes or a nice user group that's quick to load. The reason I did not give it 5 stars was the fact that they did not include an AC adapter. But that wasn't a deal breaker for me. One last and important note for all the giggers out there, this unit is built solid and is constructed in a sturdy metal casing.

This effects pedal is very impressive, I've only had it for a week thus far but have been working and learning the features that is packed in this unit, awesome looping capability very useful for repeating a riff or chorus, excellent sturdy construction, highly recommended, looking foward to gigging and recording with this unit. Also very nicely priced.

Much Easier than my Line 6 PODHD to use
By: Jim Klaproth

Your general opinion of this product.
I really love this unit for its ease of use. It is more like using a pedal board with knobs to adjust your individual settings. Want distortion? Just dial in a Tube Screamer or any other distortion pedals from Boss. Want a Compressor? Dial in a compressor, an acoustic simulator, or Humbucker to Single Coil simulator. The delays are versatile, and they even included a version of the new Boss Tera Echo which is simply amazing. The COSM preamps include 8 amps from the Boss GT-100 and they sound really good. This is quite an upgrade from the Boss ME-70, as there are now 8 footswitches instead of only 4. Also, a new section called EQ/FX2 which allows you to run multiple effects such as 2 stacked delays or chorus and tremolo together. Boss also included their new Overtone pedal which allows overtones when playing chords. The USB is a new feature that allows you to plug a computer in and get tones from their new Boss Tone Central. In my opinion, this is mostly useful for using for recording.
So far so good, no problems.
I use it on my acoustic guitars and also my electrics.
Boss tone is legendary and this unit really delivers great tones even on my acoustics.
Everything worked perfectly out of the box.
Great paint job, kind of a dark metallic black with white lettering.
Only had it for 2 weeks, but it is built like a tank.

Your general opinion of this product.
OK, Boss learned from the Me70.they made changing banks easier with no 2 pedal or extra pedal needed.
The switching between Memory and Manual mod is much better now.
Now you can save what they call a gig list of your patches on your computer so you can upload them back to the ME-80 when you need them.
I A B'D the ME70 to the ME80 to get the same patches so now which ever one I use I have the Same Patches on stage.My #1 Gator pedal board with the ME70 is heavy and better for Big concert and jazz/r&b shows.The #2 BCB Pedal board with the ME80 is better for smaller venues.
Yes as good as Boss gets.
This is a good weight and feel.
With a few tweaks it was ready to go
The gray is good because it matches my #2 Boss BCB 60 Pedal board.My #1 Gator Pedal board with the ME-70 is black.
We shall see I have had the ME-70 since 09.

The most user friendly muilti effects pedal i ever used
By: Daniel Burge

Your general opinion of this product.
Every other muilti effects pedal i had played either needed more effects or was way to complicated to operate.
With the Boss ME-80, i have almost every tone i need ever.
i suggest any guitarist at any level of playing to buy this, you will find your sound
its extremely sturdy, everything is well placed, heavy(which i like) and it starts everytime. nobody can ask for more the that
ehh, grey is cool, i just thought they should have kept the black from the ME-70
