BOSS has announced the release of a versatile and easy-to-use effects processor for guitarists. The BOSS ME series has been a favorite of performing guitarists for over three decades, combining multi-effects power with hands-on control for crafting tones in seconds.

Offering exceptional audio quality with 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating point processing, flagship-grade AIRD amp models, IR loading, an effects loop, and more, the compact, battery-powered ME-90 is the most advanced ME model to date.

With its intuitive interface and diverse effects selection, the ME-90 allows guitarists to create configurations and tweak tones with the ease of a stompbox-filled pedalboard. The panel includes 30 different knobs for selecting categories and dialing in sounds instantly. There are 36 preset patches with ready-to-play pro tones, plus 36 user patches for storing personalized setups.

The ME-90 features a massive library of BOSS effects, offering 7 different categories filled with selections derived from the flagship GT-1000. There are 60 effect types in total, with access to over 20 more via BOSS Tone Studio. A send/return loop is available for external pedals, complete with the ability to save the on/off status in patches and place the loop before or after amp models in the signal chain.
