The history of BOSS reads like the history of
guitar effects. The famous compact pedal
line-up began in 1977 with the classic OD-1
Overdrive, which established the
masterful design
principle for all other
BOSS effects pedals
that followed.

Legend

The World Leader in Compact Effects

10,000,000 pedals sold and going strong ... BOSS is the number one
choice for musicians who want the best of the best.
Carefully selected parts, uncompromised circuit design, road-tough
construction-everything on a BOSS pedal is made with the professional
in mind. Musicians who demand the best choose BOSS.

3-4

From the beginning, BOSS has built the best
pedals by adhering to these key principles:

➀ Reliable aluminum die cast bodies. ➁ Pedal
switches that withstand the 1,000,000-repetition
durability test. ➂ FET switches to eliminate the
clicking noise of conventional mechanical
switches. ➃ Non-slip rubber bases. ➄ Easy-to­install battery compartments. ➅ LED indicators.
➆ Battery and AC power.

Philosophy

Note: The OD-1 is no longer in production.

Beyond standard effects, BOSS is famous for
its unique and unusual stompboxes, such as
the SG-1 Slow Gear, VB-2 Vibrato, and, most
recently, the RC-2 Loop Station.

Originality

Not just for guitarists, BOSS
has a range of effects built
specifically for bass players.
So plug in, and anchor your
music with solid,
high-impact effects that are custom-tailored for
low frequencies.

Bassists Welcome

Only the very best components and circuitry are
used in BOSS pedals. No corners are cut, no
compromises are made — these pedals are
built to sound great and take a pounding.

Pro Quality

Where will you take your tone? From subtle
sweetening to complete audio transformation,
BOSS provides more tone-shaping options than
any other compact-effects manufacturer in
industry.

Imagination

BOSS has laid claim to many “world firsts

”
during its illustrious history. Among the many
BOSS highlights have been bringing to market
the first-ever chorus, overdrive, digital delay,
reverb, and pitch-shifter pedals.

Breakthrough

BOSS offers an incredibly wide variety of effects
that can take your sound to places it has never
been before. Whether you need subtle polish or
full, sonic immersion, BOSS effects will do the
job reliably and professionally.

independently to a couple of guitar amps and go to the PA
with the stereo Sub Outs at the same time.

■ Connecting With Power Amps, Plus Cabinets

■ Using the GT-PRO’s Effects Loops

Connect to the JC-120. Using
JC’s stereo return jacks, you
can take advantage of the GT’s
stereo effects.

■ Connecting With Guitar Amps

Using two individual outputs,
you can select guitar amps
with the patches you’ve
programmed.

In the same way, you can
freely control stereo sounds
with four guitar amps.

Record to DAW software
through the GT’s USB port. The
same sounds can be monitored
through your guitar amp.

■ For Recording

Connect the stereo outputs to
a single power amp for Dual
mode or stereo effects.

Connect each output channel to
individual power amps and
cabinets. You can designate the
output channel per Patch.

Connect the Sub outs to a
stage PA. Another channel is
used for monitoring.

Pre loop is used for a branch
out. Removing the direct sound
from the Master outputs, you
can divide dry and wet sound.

The GT-PRO is useful for post­production. After recording,
you can reamp your dry guitar
sound with a single USB
connection.

Up to three external effects can
be used. You can assign effects
loops ON/OFF per Patch.

Connect a guitar amp’s
send/return to the GT’s Pre
loop. You can select each
preamp case by case.

Using GT’s digital output, you
can immediately record your
live performance with pristine
quality.

SERIES

Killer Tone Meets Ease of Use

■ Works Just Like Your Favorite Pedals

A multi-effects processor without a menu-driven LCD?
Leave it to BOSS to design the most intuitive multi-effects
processor ever. With simple knob-based control over each
effect section, the ME-50 makes dialing in your tone
easier than ever. And when you want to kick in an effect,
just step on one of the footswitches. Think of it as a
pedalboard full of stompboxes, just without all the
individual pedals.

■ Superb Overdrive/Distortion Effects

The ME-50 boasts a range of superb COSM®overdrive and
distortion modes — perfect for use on stage with an amp.
Derived from the popular OD-20 Drive
Zone, these are some of the
crunchiest, tastiest overdriven sounds
you can imagine. There's even a
“Square” effect for cool synth-type
sounds. Of course, the ME-50 also has
plenty of other effects like
compression, analog delay, flanger,
phaser, tremolo, Harmonist, Uni-V and
a wicked Rotary effect.

■ Easy Assignable Expression Pedal

Having an assignable expression pedal is great, but not if
you have to dig through menus just to select the effect you
want to control. The ME-50 fixes all that with a simple
Pedal Mode switch and knob. First,
select whether you want to use the
pedal for volume or expression. If
you choose expression, you can then
select one of six preset assignments
via the dedicated knob: wah,
resonance, voice, ring mod and
octave up or down.

■ Memory Function for Live
Performance

The ME-50's Memory function makes changing Patches
quick and easy. Once enabled, the three footswitches
become Patch selectors for switching between three
programs within one of the ME-50's
ten memory banks. To switch banks,
just press the Bank Up/Down
buttons or use an optional
footswitch. And with the ME-50's
convenient tuner function, keeping
your guitar in tune is easy.

Big-Time Multi-Effects for Bass

■ Multi-Effects Made Simple

BOSS understands that bass players want access to
powerful effects, but they don't want to get caught up in
the menus and programming hassles of a multi-effects
processor. Enter the ME-50B. Just like its guitar-oriented
sibling, the ME-50B puts BOSS' finest multi-effects for
bass into a convenient floor processor with the feel of a
compact pedal. Forget about menus and cursor buttons.
Just reach down and twist a knob!

■ Independent COSM®Compressor/
Limiter and EQ

Everyone knows that the fundamentals of good bass tone
are compression and EQ. That's why the ME-50B features
two dedicated sections for these essential effects. The
Compressor/Limiter uses advanced COSM modeling —
including a “Natural” compression setting that retains the
nuances of your playing — to give you tight, punchy tone.
Simply select the compressor “Type” and adjust the
Sustain/Threshold knob to get the tone you want. The
Master section includes a 3-band EQ with a sweepable
mid for precise tonal shaping.

■ Get Creative with Cool Filter/
Tone Effects

The ME-50B includes a variety of unique tone-shaping
effects just for bass. These include a handy “Octave Up”
effect, which adds a note one octave
above the original while retaining your
natural bass sound — complete with
adjustable drive on the octave-shifted
note — plus favorites like Slow Gear,
T-Wah and a Defretter effect for instant
fretless sounds. Using the Tone effect
preset, you can get quick tonal variations
with preset EQs like “Bottom Boost” and
“Mid Shape.”

■ Incredibly Warm Overdriven
Sounds and More

Want some extra bite? Switch on the ME-50B's Drive
effects, which include settings like “Muff Fuzz,”“Bass
Driver,” “Natural” and “Metal” to give you
a range of overdriven/distorted sounds.
A “Hi Band” effect creates a distorted
sound on the high frequencies while
keeping the lower frequencies intact —
perfect for creating complex tones while
keeping your original playing dynamics.
There are also four synth bass sounds
with superb tracking and natural feel.

■ Sound On Sound with a Twist

Sound On Sound recording is very popular with guitarists,
and now bass players can build their own loops, too. But
the ME-50B can do even more. Using the Kick Drum
function, players can tap in their own kick drum and
create loops over the beat. If that's not
enough, check out the Sound Hold
function, which lets you endlessly
sustain a low note while playing over it.
With the ME-50B, bassists can take their
playing to a whole new level.

27-28

Effortless Performance Power!

From the smallest compact pedal to the most feature-laden rack,
the BOSS brand is synonymous with effects that sound great and are
built to last. Today, BOSS expands its famous ME-series effects family
with the ME-20 and ME-20B. These powerful multi-effect units are
optimized for ease of use in live performance. They also bring BOSS's
high-end effects power to a very affordable price point.

GUITAR MULTIPLE EFFECTS

Expressive Effects That Will Ignite the Stage

■ Simple Operation — Works Like
Compact-Pedal Effects

To get the sound you want, simply select an effect and
tweak it using the knobs. Turn the ME-20 on, and it’s just
like having three BOSS compact-pedal effects side by
side. No menus to navigate, no nonsense — it’s fast, easy,
fun, and yet powerful.

■ Famous BOSS sound

The ME-20 provides world-class overdrive, distortion,
delay, chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo, rotary, and EQ
effects — all instantly customizable.

■ OD/DS Solo Function

Give distortion sounds clarity and an intense boost with a
simple button press. The first of the three footswitches on
the ME-20 is devoted to overdrive and
distortion effects. You can also switch the
effect on/off via pedal or an external switch
(BOSS FS-5U) — great for instantly
activating a "biting lead" tone.

■ EZ EDIT for Quick Sound Creation

EZ EDIT lets you create sounds quickly and intuitively,
with incredible ease and speed like no other multi-effects
unit on the market. You can adjust a combination of effect
parameters with a single knob, and then save your
creations for instant recall.

■ Memory Function

Up to 30 of the sounds you create can be stored in the
ME-20’s User memory. In Memory mode, you can use the
pedals to instantly select a stored sound. Since the ME-20
makes it so easy to create new sounds, the user memory
bank ensures that you’ll never lose those perfect patches.

■ AUX IN Jack

Plug a CD or MP3 player into this input jack and jam along
with your favorite music. It’s also a great way to plug in
and play along with your favorite guitar heroes to help
build and strength your chops.

■ Battery Powered Operation

The ME-20 runs on battery power (six AA dry cells) so you
can use it anywhere. Wherever you travel, the ME-20 goes
with you and never requires an additional AC outlet. For
those who want to plug in, however, an optional AC adaptor
can be used.

Once a musical instrument generates sound vibrations, it reaches the human ear through various mediating objects, each of which significantly affects the sound.
The material and configuration of the instrument, the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound.
Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, “ virtually” reconstructs these objects. Roland’s breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM)uses the advantages of
multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as well as producing sounds that have never before been created.
