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 new 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 new �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 new 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 new 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.
