2457.0. "Boss ME-10 and ME-6" by FRETZ::HEISER (stop making sense!) Thu Feb 27 1992 16:59

    Yet still another entry in the the multi-EFX floor processors (are they
    telling us something?).  Actually these succeed the Boss ME-5.
    Refer to the new Roland User's mag for more details.
    
    Boss ME-10:
    
    - Same sturdy pedals as the FC-100 controller.
    - 9 Effects are: Compression, Overdrive, Noise Suppressor, Amp
      Simulator,  EQ/Wah, Phaser/Flanger/Pitch Shifter, Delay Chorus, and
      Reverb.  All can be used simultaneously.
    - built-in chromatic tuner
    - 16 bit CPU
    - 128 patches
    - external effects loop
    - shuttle dial for program editing.
    - dedicated button for every parameter.
    
    Boss ME-6:
    
    - different casing than the one above, looks like plastic.
    - 6 effects are: Compression, Overdrive/Distortion, 3 band EQ, Delay,
      Chorus/Flanger, and Reverb.  All can be used simultaneously.
    - 18 bit A/D conversion at 44.1kHz sampling rate and 16 bit D/A
      conversion.
    - 25 patches with off/on status
    - parameter settings for each effect
    - master volume level
    - has a manual mode

    RE -1 
    
    Mike,
    
    Are any prices included in the Roland mag?  Also does anyone know the
    how these units compare to the ME-5 (outside of the obvious difference
    in number of effects).

    Roland never puts prices in there.
2457.3Why do they do this???GOES11::G_HOUSENow I'm down in itThu Feb 27 1992 18:405
    THREE band EQ?  When will the idiots designing these things learn that
    these just don't cut it?  I can't figure out why they keep putting
    these chintzy effects into units like this.

2457.4User feedback? (Pun intended...)MSBCS::ASHFORTHWed Sep 01 1993 14:126
I noticed a used ME10 up for sale somewhere, and I wondered if anyone on the net
has (or has at least used) one, and could offer an opinion on its sounds.

Thanks-
