2860.0. "Boss ME-6 patches requested" by KAOFS::P_DESOUZA () Fri Nov 19 1993 22:36

    
    
    I just bought a Boss ME-6 multieffects and would like to take the lazy
    way out and request favotite patches of any ME-6 owners. Either reply
    directly to me or better still post them here. I am looking for that
    elusive Tele twang, Clapton tone, EVH, etc. I find the pre-sets are
    geared to metal, which is nice, but our material is more versatile.
    
    I posted this at 2627 but I think the club may have folded.
    
    Regards,

2860.1WHAT KIND OF AMP ARE YOU USING?NEEPS::IRVINEIf Slash was born in Scotland....Mon Nov 29 1993 11:4316
Placy,

What kind of amp are you using.... at present I use an ME-6 in the fx loop of a 
5150 (so the EVH sound is no problem).  The stuff that I play in my band is as 
varied as you could wish... Belinda Carlise & Patti Smith through to UFO, THIN 
LIZZY....

THe kind of amp you use will *definately* effect the sound produced from the ME-6.

What I can do is list off some of my settings with a breif description of use and
a sounds like description (but that will be next week sometime).

Let me know if you would like this stuff.

Bonzo (Bill, JC, I still need to un-load the 5150 so I can gert a nice noooow 
Marshall)
2860.2Send in the pre-setsKAOFS::P_DESOUZAMon Nov 29 1993 12:0710
    Hi! I am quite interested in your pre-sets. Please post them here or
    mail me. Whatever is most convenient. I have played around quite a bit
    with it since I last entered the note and am dialling in some nice
    tones. Richard seems to be quite down on it though and I was going to
    try and get in touch with you , based on one of your replies, but you
    beat me to it.
    
    Thanks!

    Just to pick up on the last point (ie me being down on the ME6).
    
    I've had mine well over a year now and still havn't removed the
    cellophane covering on the panel and have all packing. This is because
    I'm still not sure I'll keep it. I've used it a lot though.
    
    I was definitely spoilt by my ALESIS MicroVerb III which I still have.
    This digital delay/reverb unit cost the same as my ME6 with its 101
    facilities. Not surprisingly the depth depth of tone etc off the Mverb
    beats the ME6 hands down. The only problem is I cannot mix delay and
    reverb with it (which I can with the ME6). However, for reverbs/delay
    I'd use the Mverb any day.
    
    For overdrive, well my Fender Studio 112 amp beats the ME6 offerings
    hands down. SO for overdrive I use the amp.
    
    Compression, Noise Reduction? Well, just don't use it live. Played with
    it but that's about it.
    
    At the end of the day all I really use the ME6 for is Chorus/Flange
    type effects. BUT, and this is a big BUT, when you can add a bit of
    delay or reverb with some chorus you can get beautiful sounds and its
    this that makes me reluctant to part with my ME6.

2860.4Some but not all I useNEEPS::IRVINEBob Irvine: B.S., M.S., P.H.D.Tue Dec 14 1993 06:1547
Placy,

As promised here is some of the settings I use on my ME-6.

I now use a Marshall 8100 Valvestate, so exact copies of these settings
may not produce the same results.....

I do not use the ME-6 Distortion or compression so I will list from EQ onwards.
