Shonks Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Boss ME-20B i like it I use mainly the volume pedal, and tuner. The compressor is handy when I use my small combo which hasn't a comp' on board.and very rarely kick in a bit of chorus or octavider effect, which happens to perform brilliantly. volume pedal is great as you can physically tighten the bolts so there's loads of resistance for those with a heavy foot. tuner still works with the pedal up and the output off - handy. its good just as a foot mute for changing over basses too. compact well built and well behaved. the octave part of it works better than the Boss dedicated pedal and the MXR from personal experience. [b]-[i] bass players don't really need effects for live work imo so the main thing for me tuner and volume pedal -[/i][/b] I got on here second hand for £60 and for that kinda dosh you cant go wrong really. hope my little review was helpful good luck BCers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Had one, sold it, and then bought another one! Great little multi-fx that fits in the pocket of your gigbag, high quality effects, volume-wah pedal has a good continous sweep and it's very well made. I'd add on to your review that the ME-20b is very intuitive to use. The effect parameters are simple to navigate and the ability to save banks of effects comes in very handy! A good buy for anyone that wants decent effects in a small package. Tempted to buy the ME-20 for guitar too. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex [/quote]and wot he said! i use mine on the guitar (Fender Strat) when recording in conjuction with a Behringer BDI 21 V-tone (just for recording) and gotta say I get some preeetty good sounds out of it The Behringer by the way is a great and S/H very cheap bit of gear which I also recommend. Cost me £14 on ebay which is about average and does a nice amp modeling job and switched off it becomes a cool DI for just about any application Edited May 19, 2013 by Shonks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I had one (sold it to Truckstop)...out-smarted me, hence selling it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I heard they were tone suckers and just mediocre sounds, which stopped me buying one. is that incorrect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonks Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm a sucker for a good tone - it doesn't suck mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
