The Most Advanced BOSS ME Guitar Processor Yet

The BOSS ME-90 is the company's most advanced ME-series all-in-one guitar processor to date, arming you with superior 24-bit AD/DA, powerful 32-bit floating-point processing, and intuitive stompbox-style operation. This tone-packed multi-effects pedal houses 11 onboard AIRD amp models, 60 flagship-grade effects, a dedicated amp section, and seven simultaneous effects categories. The ME-90 also supplies eight multifunction footswitches and an expression pedal for real-time control. Manual mode unlocks pedalboard-style operation, and Memory mode enables you to toggle between complete patch setups. You can also use BOSS Tone Studio software for fast-and-easy parameter editing, amp and effects configuration, and more. The ME-90 includes a premium-quality IR loader, an effects loop, USB-C connectivity, and Bluetooth capabilities via an optional adapter. Compact, battery-powered, and teeming with some of the best tones BOSS has ever produced, the ME-90 makes building a custom guitar rig easier than ever.

Flagship-quality BOSS effects and AIRD amp models

The guitarists here at Sweetwater are blown away by how many sounds the ME-90 puts at your feet. You get a massive library of premium BOSS effects in seven different categories, all derived from the company's flagship GT-1000 multi-effects pedal. You get everything you need, from overdrives and distortions to pitch and modulation effects, delays, and studio-quality reverbs. You also get 11 dedicated Pedal FX, a looper, and specialized effects, including an acoustic guitar and down-tuned simulations. As for amplifiers, the ME-90's AIRD-powered amp models are second to none, covering everything from squeaky-clean combos to red-hot high-gain stacks, supplying you with authentic tube tones with realistic touch response. Each amp includes a dedicated cab, plus you can load three of your favorite speaker IRs. The ME-90 gives you 60 effects in total, along with 11 onboard amp types, plus you can access more via BOSS Tone Studio software.

Easy sound creation and flexible real-time control

Thanks to its knob-driven interface and stompbox-style layout, building configurations and tweaking tones with the BOSS ME-90 are a walk in the park. You get all the benefits of a well-appointed pedalboard without worrying about messy connection cables, power distribution, and cumbersome hook-and-loop fasteners. The ME-90's eight footswitches operate smoothly and quietly, and its built-in expression pedal provides effortless real-time control over your effects. You can use the ME-90's Memory mode to call up complete patch setups using the footswitches, or you can use Manual for direct control of each effect category within a patch. The footswitches on this guitar multi-effects pedal include colored LEDs for at-a-glance identification. Moreover, you can set the LEDs to light in a fixed color for each mode.

Extended configuration and editing

If you really want to extend the ME-90's configuration and editing capabilities, fire up BOSS Tone Studio software on your Mac or Windows-based PC. With BOSS Tone Studio, you can edit tones, change out amp and effect types, and a whole lot more. You can also save and organize your patches for different applications, download professionally crafted setups from BOSS Tone Central, and swap patches with the robust ME-90 community on BOSS Tone Exchange. You can also purchase an optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter (sold separately), which allows you to stream music from a mobile device and wirelessly shape tones using a dedicated app on your smart device.

Boss ME 90
I got the boss ME 90 for Christmas. I had to update the firmware from O2 to 03, and that was a little scary because they said if you make a mistake they would have to be returned for reconfiguration. Well, I didn't make mistake I guess cause it seems to work fine. Fine is not good word for this, really exceptional. I love the sounds I can creates on my guitars just playing through the ME 90 using headphones: super clean and really fun to experiment with. Can't wait to plug into the PA system at Church and rock out for the glory of God. Randy

Great for streaming
when Covid hit I had to simplify I became a YouTuber and the reality set in that interfaces processors. My Trusty ME 70 did the job for a long time unfortunately it became "wonky" over 15 years. fortunately, the ME 90 came out with all the extra bells and whistles that I could want with IR's USB and bluetooth capabilities and a simple user-friendly analog pedal layout. Most people think I am playing through an amplifier however, the good news is it's so quiet when using an ear monitors that it prompted a neighbor to ask me if I was depressed because they can no longer hear me playing. That's fantastic news because I have been known to stream online in the early hours of the morning! It's light, small, and with different colored lights for different effects easier to distinguish on the fly! Bravo ! It will probably get a 10/10 Once I can get a GREAT amp simulator dialed in.

Overall a Good Unit
I am enjoying the pedalboard. Sounds are excellent. Many different sounds. My only caveat is that it doesn't have an LCD readout or display. The knobs are quite small and sometimes it is hard to tell exactly which tone is selected. This day in age, it would be great to have a digital readout display to see exactly what preset is selected. The build quality is excellent and very rugged. It should do well on the road. I do think the AC Adapter should be included at this price point, and not an option. BOSS hits another home run with this unit, just not a Grand Slam. I would recommend it. Sweetwater service was once again excellent!!!
Music background: Playing guitar for many decades.
it is better than single pedals
so good, have been having it for a month now.
Great Unit
Nice piece of equipment. Has all the effects that I wanted in a pedal board. Thanks to Boss and Sweetwater.
