Boss ME-25 Guitar Multiple Effects: With COSM Amplifier Modeling, New User Interface, USB, And More

April 21, 2010
Boss ME-25 Guitar Multiple Effects is a stompbox-like, floor-based effects system featuring COSM amplifier modeling and more.

Lace up those black leather sneakers and get ready to stomp on the latest Boss floor-based effects system, the ME-25 Guitar Multiple Effects ($276.50 MSRP). Compact and durable, the ME-25 borrows its sounds and Boss tone tools from the company's ME-70, and puts them in a new package with an updated user interface, COSM amplifier modeling, and more.

Its simple black and white layout makes it easy to select from a number of COSM amplifier models and effects, even in a dark playing environment. The ME-25 has three footswitches, an Expression pedal, four knobs, nine backlit buttons, and an enlarged LED pane, and its onboard Sound Library comes loaded with 60 effects combinations suitable for a wide range of playing styles, according to the manufacturer.

The floor-based multi-effects system is also packed with some of the best Boss effects, including distortions, overdrives, modulation effects, delay, reverb, harmonist, and many more. Its built-in expression pedal controls various pedal effects, such as wah, octave up / down, and the freeze effect. Three heavy-duty footswitches allow you to select sounds and perform other functions -- such as accessing the built-in tuner, tapping in delay times, and enabling the SOLO feature -- using just your feet.

The ME-25 offers a range of classic amps from clean combos to raging stacks, along with a Super Stack function that gets big amp tones from even a small practice amp. A 38-second looper is also included for real-time, sound-on-sound recording.

For your convenience, the ME-25 also includes USB connectivity, which lets you stream audio and other data back and forth with a computer. To manage sounds, you can use the free, downloadable librarian application, or use Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 LE for multi-track audio and MIDI recording, which comes bundled with the unit. The ME-25 runs on six AA batteries or AC power and its portable size makes it easy to bring anywhere for recording, live performances, and more.
