Not for me
I didn't enjoy the sounds of the effects too much. But solid feeling and solid construction.
Been using it for 15 years, still like it.
Been using it for 15 years, still like it. I use it as 3 different pedals + expression pedal (mostly as volume), never in meory mode.
Muito legal/ Very nice :)
Gosto dos timbres dela e o que me agrada muito é ela ter os knobs pra facilitar a regulagem. I like the tone of me50 and the best thing for me are the knobs that make my life easier.
This was my first pedal.
This thing is perfect to figure out what you like effectwise, but kind of useless in every other aspect.
Useable sounds: 1. Distortions are okay 2. "my first envelope filter" 3. "Phaser"
Unusable sounds: Everything else.
Major drawbacks: 1. The wah has a HUGE volume spike when you sweep it through the middle. 2. The synth's tracking is pretty much nonexistent. You have a choice of whole notes or halfnotes. 3. Octaver doesn't track well either.
tl:dr It's a decent pedalboard to start, but buy it used.
Had the ME-25, even less tweakable, but utterly hopeless effects!
