I was all about the high end boards like Helix, Axe Effect III, etc. and they're fabulous, no doubt. But then my cousin who is a gigging musician upgraded his board and I got his old board for almost nothing. That board was the Boss ME-80. At first I scoffed at it with all it's knobs and simple controls...then I had an epiphany. I was spending more time tweaking the infinite variables on my Helix than playing. With the ME-80, you turn a few knobs, stomp on a few switches and you're DONE. This is not a knock on the Helix or any other modeler. It's a knock on human tendencies. The ME-80 sounds great, so simple to use and you spend your time playing. Same as the Epiphone Valve Jr. amp. An on/off switch and one volume knob. Nothing else. Brilliant.

I think people get distracted. I've learned that on the Helix I can leave almost any effect or amp on it's default settings. I'll grab a effect and maybe turn one knob slightly and leave it. My fingers and the speaker I'm using for monitoring have a much bigger effect on the tone.

You can certainly chnage pedal order on the Valeton, both physically and via the app, you just hold down the param knob until it enters "manage signal chain" mode then you can select blocks and move them about. I'll also note, boost pedals appear under both Pre and Dist so if you want say a compressor and a boost, you can (though you can't then have distortion).

The fact that you don't have to explain the Boss ME-90 makes it the clear winner.

At our old rehersal space there was a small shipping container that worked as a put and take. I once found an original Boss ME-6 that "only" needed a bit of solder on the board and the jack input .. still working flawless even though the o.d. and distortion isn't worth writing home about

I was the one asking for Digital John on the earlier ME 90 video! That’s awesome

Great options for a budget oriented beginner. Thanks for the video.

Worth mentioning that the Boss has a bunch of extra effects and amps accessible via the Tone Studio software. You can also assign these ‘hidden’ amps/effects to be accessible at the turn of a knob on the unit itself. I like the Deluxe Reverb, which is one of these hidden amps so I’ve set it to replace the Recti Stack on the unit as I’m not a high gain player. Pretty handy.

There are many times I sit down just to play with the settings and different sounds and 100% of the time I find a sound immediately and play an hour or so never getting to the others. I think it's a flaw we all have, lol, if it sounds good just play.

As a longtime Boss user (had an ME-50 for years as a teenager and I've been playing an ME-70 for a decade) I'm really stoked to see the ME line continuing to improve and evolve with the times. I love having all of my settings available visually, I'm not a huge fan of menu diving (especially when compared to having physical knobs to twist). I know this doesn't have as many amp/cabinet models as other sims, but I tend to use the same 2-3 amp models again and again, so I don't see this as a huge drawback. Definitely added this to my wishlist!

I owned the boss me 80 for years and loved it. The quality of sounds are a little outdated, but still a solid and fun piece of gear. I don't know about upgrading to the ME90 unless they have upgraded the sounds and overdives in it. The blues driver in the me80 was lacking some, and the reverb just okay. Delay took time to dial in right. Anyway, I don't know if I even want to try the ME90.

Hi guys. I'm looking forward to your review of the NUX MG-30!

I used to have ME-70 back in the day. The strength of this kind of unit is the on-the-fly adjustments. You can play in a bed room with headphones with all the settings, and bring it to the studio and adjust it to work with real amp within seconds. Most multi-effects in the market can't do this. Also you have a few different kind of effects available to choose. It's like a middle ground between multi-effect units and pedalboard. Personally I don't find myself using preset mode all that often. More often on the manual mode. I moved on to GT-100 and later Helix LT, but still miss the simplicity of it. I don't go to rehearsal studio as much anymore. I probably get one (or build a small pedal board, or probably Tech21 flyrig unit) if I have go to the studio more often I think.

Awesome Video! I’m personally a fan of Valetons pedals but can you do a video on Valeton GP-200LT vs Donner Arena 2000?

Thing I like about the Boss is pretty much any effect, set all the dials to `12 and it will sound great. They've done such a good job at making stuff instant

Wonderful channel and videos!!

There remain many important ME-90 functions that are only accessible via the Boss Tone Studio editor. Dont forget the separate ME-90 CAB IR Loader app

I just got the mooer ge300 lite. What I like is, flexible routing, flexible footswitch, Tone capture, user IR and xlr out. I ran 1/4 inch to the fx return of my amp, while xlr to FOH with cab sim and 3rd party IR. I capture the tone of my jcm900 for drive sounds, and my fender combo for clean sounds. It got seperate global eq for the 1/4 inch output and Xlr so I can balance and fine tune the tone if using different amp so both output is great sounding. For QC money you can buy 3 or 4 ge300 lite and have a backup unit, as my friend use his hard earn money to buy QC and it broke less then a year.

Thank you both for the review. I have the Valeton and just wanted to confirm that is possible to change the order of any effect in the loop. It can be done in the desktop app by just dragging them and in the device from the loop view by selecting with the main know the effect to move and then press this know for around one second. I love this unit, in particular the amps and cabs. As a tip to tame the harshness of the digital amp emulations, I recommend using the S-Comp which by default mix half of the pure sound of the signal with a mild compressed signal, which in the default positions keeps most of dynamics of the guitar and reduces the metallic digital sound and brings up some frequencies making the sound fuller. I also reduce in the general eq around 2 db the bass below 80 hz and highh above 4 Khz. I have downloaded many top IRs gaining in some cases in sound but still the default ones aren't far in quality and the defaults sometimes work better with some amps.

I mean, both of the thought processes behind these work, and they both do the thing. Both sound great IMO. That being said, as a Helix user for years now, if I had choose one of these, I would probably do the Valeton just b/c the workflow and all is more similar to the Helix than the Boss is.

Boss are Boss for good reason. They make the best pedals, you just need to select the right one and tweak away - compact, silent switching, durable, what’s not to like. I’ve traveled down the rabbits hole of boutique pedals and almost always arrive back at a Boss pedal, including the way underrated ME-80.

Crazy how good digital amps sound nowadays. I want to hate it as I'm a tube amp fanatic but definitely cool

Digital John aka Johnny Bandana; what a gem of a guy.

I bought the ME90 because it is so powerful but also intuitive. I haven't had it very long but i am enjoying it so far. I don't have any pedals and i got it because its cheaper than gambling on some individual pedals. My dad has also used his ME for many years and it's been a solid tool. I am just someone who plays for fun and while i know you can get better tones out of more expensive kit, for my purposes it more than provides what i am looking for.

Might be time to upgrade! I’m still using the digitech RP1000.

The ME-90 is great. I loved the ME-80 when I had it, but since growing and trying a bunch of different things and coming back to the ME-90, there are some key issues I have with it. 1. You cannot run two drives at once. FX-1 has a clean boost on it, but you sacrifice you Comp, auto-wah, etc. FX2 has a boost as well, but you sacrifice your EQ or whatever else. And those are just boosts, not drives. 2. Only switches 3 and 4, for the Mod and Delay blocks offer tap tempo. And Tempo is not global. So this means that if I am using a delay on the FX2 block, I cannot use tap tempo. Why would you use the delay on the FX2 block? Well the looper is on the Delay block. So if you want to use the looper AND delay, the only way you can do it is run your delay on the FX2 block. 3. Reverb is just one knob. What I would really love is a dedicated reverb block with the entire Boss RC-6 built into this thing. Especially since all of the reverbs feel like they don't offer enough at their maximum settings. 4. For some reason the Overdrives are crazy loud. I need to turn the level on them almost all the way down to not clip my speakers. The amps clip often too. You can see how andertons had to set the overall output level knob of the unit lower. I prefer the HX stomp where I can just leave it at maximum because its a passive volume knob. You can solve all these things by sticking the ME-90 on a pedalboard and using the FX loop to add in external effects. It fits perfectly on a pedal train metro24 with some space on the sides. If you own enough stompboxes for a full rig, then this feels weird. Like I have a full pedalboard. I just wanted the ME-90 as a fly rig. I prefer the HX stomp for that usage. However if you only own two pedals, then it can be great to get the ME-90 and just throw your two other pedals in there.

Many years ago the POD HD Multi Effects box of tricks was doing all this and lots more. I think with digital pedal boards considering the amount of tinkering they are almost better off sitting on top of your amp and employ a breakout pedal board.

No adjusting the signal chain. They were still awesome.

One thing that Boss consistently does better than everyone else is keep signal processing time to a minimum -- less than a millisecond for the ME-90. That's basically analog immediacy. No doubt you can do more signal processing if you take more time, and other products have that covered. I just appreciate Boss offering something for players who enjoy immediate feedback.

Boss, and Roland as well, make very high end digital products that make use of engineering a small company could never afford. Dedicated DSP brings delays WAY down below anything without it can manage. To me, latency is a make-or-break feature. The Valeton’s is 4 times as long as the industry leader Boss. There are worse but I consider 3ms to be the line and Valeton’s is close to 5ms. That’s a no-go for me. Whether recording or performing, ANY ambiguity in meter is the ultimate groove killer.

@artysanmobile

@@daniloberserk Not sure where you get your math from. Sound travels a very handy 1 foot per ms (actually 1.1ms). Moving an inch yields a delay 0f 90 microseconds. Boss is the industry leader in latency with an amazing 1.1ms. The Valeton is close to 5ms. The Valeton’s latency would equate to more than 40 inches of distance change over the Boss, nothing near “an inch.” Most recording engineers consider 3ms to be a break point. We use DAWs that can use external DSP for signal processing and routing to hold latency to sub 3ms with hundreds of processes and multiple subgroups because that’s just the way music production works.

You can change the order of the pedals in Valeton GP-200, I do it all the time.

I have the ME90 and love it so far because I wanted knobs and no digital menus. I didn't look at the Velaton, which is a shame because it does look easy, but my only gripe with the boss is if I go back to a patch I made, and suddenly want to change anything on it, a small tweak, I'm stuck. That's where the software probably comes in, but I I didn't buy it specifically for that because I wanted a quick and easy board to use. I didn't consider what happens with editing a patch I go back to a week late with the knobs in different positions

i literally wanted this video today and found no direct comparison online 😂 thanks

I have Boss me 80 and thought I need something more modern. Tried me 90 and valeton gp 200. sent both back for different reasons: the valeton for the convoluted adjustment and the Me 90 because it it wasn’t so significantly better than my me80, which I kept, because I love the ease of real-time adjustments. It is so much more close to how I would use effects in my playing. With Caleton I‘d need to preprogram the effect chains, with me 80 I just go with what the moment requires.

Hands down the ME90. No delay at all when switching between presets, which makes it perfect for live applications. The "drop out" from the Valeton when switching between the presets, made me sell it right away.

In my point of view, a big advantage of the Valeton over the Boss is having an independent XLR output. This way you can use one channel to connect directly to the PA (with simcab) and another you can send to a return amp or to a cabinet on stage (without simcab). Another thing is being able to change the pedal chain... I think the best way to use the valeton is in stomp mode... I hope I helped, congratulations from Brazil

More digital John please!

I own a Boss GX-100, but I still want an ME-90 for its UI. But there is an issue: GX-100 has Matchless sim that I use most of time but ME-90 doesn't.

They are both good, but I think the title is a little misleading. Best in the under £300 range perhaps. Under £500 brings in the Pod Go, very close to the HX Stomp, and also the GX100 from Boss which I have. I compared he GX100 to the ME90, and whilst I loved a lot about the ME90, I felt that the sounds, flexibility and overall feel of the GX100 were better over all, and so I stuck with that. I don't think either of these offer the tones or flexibility of amps, FX, routing that the GX offers, and for £450 I think it's a bargain.

Is there a Analog Bob working at Andertons??

As the looper time is low on the Boss, could you put an independent drum/looper thru the fx loop?

I'm just starting the video and it's hilarious how it goes from the smooth sounds of the Valeton to sounding like utter shit on the ME-90.

My only issue with multi effects pedals is having all effects in front of the amp, rather than associating your modulation via the effects loop and the drives in rhe front end.

I've got the valeton gp200 and the me80, and tbh I think the me 80 has the edge, mainly because it has 2 distortions and they sound really deep. However the the valeton is really easy to store my own presets and just tap through them. you could honestly have a different set up for each song at a gig and just tap through them. and it's also nicely lit up too. But I think for sound I prefer the me80, but for convenience I'd use the valeton. They're both so good, that when I jam I can't decide which one to take with me tbh.

I like that they added an fx loop which should allow the 4 cable option however surprisingly no stereo delay just as if playing with a Katana live you cannot get a stereo delay through the line out (only available through usb). To me that is a deal breaker alongside with the lack of a parametric eq. All these digital/modeling devices have that typical fizz and boomy bass to various degrees in addition to some things with the mids. Being able to control those properties determines the usability of the product.

It worked great for me I had the same issue and it fixed exactly what your talking about now it sounds incredible😍 Note: It has the wide EQ range for versatility other instruments needs this pedal was also designed to be used with Bass and Microphones and Line in.

@@steveclark9934 that would certainly make a difference. My critique was aimed at them putting another eq section after the preamp which is not parametric or at least graphic hence of limited use. The global eq is effective but at times you want a specific approach to each channel even though with all of these things one must always do a high cut at least at 4k and a low cut at a 100hz or at minimum at 80hz.

@@IsaacLausell I understand what you are saying I'm just recently learning about cutting EQ of unnecessary highs and lows and can now see why an additional parametric EQ after would be beneficial I just noticed a high and low cut in the cab section today as well maybe that could help a bit if they don't end up adding one in a future update?

I have tear down my Valeton unit. The processor responsible for all the sound is a 4$ part. Not that it's wrong, it's similar for all units. People are getting scammed by all these units, they could be all made for 150$ with all the features, it's all markup and marketing. They make a "pro" unit bigger with more button and xlr outputs, but it's all the same and cost nothing to make.

Used to have a Me-80. The thing has 1 BIG issue. Same with my black spirit 200 floor. And the ME-90 did NOT fix that. And that is that when you saved a preset and stepped away to another one, the only way to ever find out what the settings were is by using the app. Which I do not do on stage.

Please make a videos efek valeton gp 200 vs nux trident, thanks bro

Is still have my old Digitech RP200.....would like to see it used in these competitions.

I brought the valeton gp200lt from andertons in there sale. Brilliant easy to use and already had 2 updates to improve it more since had it, plue well made not cheap plastic. Boss make good quality stuff but the are let down by not updating there stuff with updates regularly.

Great video!

First!! Amazing playing by the way!

ME-90 in manual mode for me all day. no need for presets. Compact replacement all-in-one pedalboard. P.S. Try "God save the queen" with the Harmonist. It will make your day!

What guitar is that dude playing? It’s lovely

Gotta lean toward the ME-90, just because I will never understand why you'd put a fancy screen on something you're meant to shitstomp every day. This object is literally meant for you to (maybe drunkenly) kick the shit out of it to operate it. Great place for a fancy screen! The valeton is still really cool tho, especially in a studio setting.

I was hell bent on getting the Boss for about a year or so. After seeing this I ordered the Valeton 30 mins ago.

Can I plug a fender mustang micro into the end of one of these?
