JOHNNY DEMARCO: We're here at the Austin Summer NAMM Show, and I want to talk about the new ME-20 multi-effects pedal. This is a cool pedal here we got. Basically what's happening is we have three different pedals that I can stomp on. There's a few different modes but generally we're in patch mode here [INDISCERNIBLE] play this, just take a listen to this first patch, hard rocking distortion.

All right. So basically we have all kinds of different Boss distortion boxes inside this along with effects like flanger, phaser, delay, reverb, everything's in this pedal. It's a small size, it's perfect to put in your gig bag, I got a volume pedal on board that everything defaults is volume. When I press it down, it can be a wah pedal. Let's that out.

All right. That's our wah pedal, okay? I can switch patches just by hitting each pedal.

Okay. Now I want to show you how I can bank up because what we have here is we have 30 patches inside. We have three banks with 10 patches per bank. Watch how I do this. I use an FS-5U pedal so I don't have to reach down but we don't one here.

Thirty patches, we have 10 banks, okay, which allow three patches per bank. We have flanger, phaser, delay, reverb, chorus, tremolo, all kinds of effects inside, very small easy carrying case. Bam! Hope you guys love it. Boss U.S.
