The BOSS ME-80 is a compact, battery-powered guitar multi-effects processor that brings together flagship-quality BOSS amps and effects in an easily accessible format designed for performing guitarists. Its user-friendly knob-based interface allows for quick adjustments, making it simple to dial in great sounds instantly. The ME-80 features selectable operation modes that offer the flexibility of traditional stompbox-style on/off control or the convenience of recalling complex multi-effects setups. A standout feature is its new footswitch design, which provides twice the control of its predecessors, facilitating efficient effects switching and patch selection during live performances. With the free BOSS TONE STUDIO software, users can unlock additional tonal possibilities, easily organize, and tweak their sounds on a computer, along with access to online patches created by professional guitarists.
