Boss ME-90 guitar multi-effects processor

Introducing the Boss ME-90 guitar multi-effects processor

The Boss ME series has been highly praised by performing guitarists for more than three decades, and the ME-90 is the most advanced model to date. It offers exceptional audio quality with 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating point processing, flagship-grade AIRD amp models, IR loading, an effects loop, and more. It also has 36 preset patches with ready-to-play pro tones and 36 user patches for storing your custom creations.

The expression pedal has been newly redesigned for even finer parameter control, a rear-panel switch instantly optimises the outputs for use with a guitar amp or a full-range sound system such as a PA, and a USB-C output allows you to use the ME-90 as a computer audio interface for your go-to music production software.

This versatile all-in-one processor makes it easy to create customised sound setups whenever you need to.

High-quality Boss effects

The ME-90 provides you with an extensive library of Boss effects all at your command, with seven different categories filled with selections from the leading GT-1000. Everything you need is here, from overdrives and distortions to pitch/mod effects, delays, and high-quality reverbs.

You also get 11 dedicated Pedal FX, a looper, and specialised effects such as acoustic simulation and down tuning, plus a send/return loop is available for external pedals, complete with the ability to save the on/off status in patches and place the loop before or after amp models in the signal chain.

There are 60 effect types in total, with access to over 20 more via Boss Tone Studio.

Premium Boss amps

Along with its effects, the ME-90 includes amp models ported from the powerful GT-1000, driven by Boss’s advanced AIRD technology for authentic tube tone and touch response. The eleven onboard amp types provide you with clean combo sounds and punishing high-gain stacks, and you can access more selections in Boss Tone Studio.

Each amp includes a dedicated cab sound for connecting to a PA or recording device, and you can load three of your favourite speaker IRs to personalise your music.

Craft tones in seconds

With its diverse effects selection and stompbox-filled pedalboard, the ME-90 lets you build configurations and tweak tones in seconds. Its interface is designed to be easy to navigate and use; simply dial up an amp model or effect type within a category and turn the knobs to get the sound you want. Now you can work without the hassle of fastening tape, power distribution, and multiple connection cables.

Intuitive hands-on control

The ME-90 lets you decide how you want your music to sound, by giving you hands-on control over how you build your creations. It features eight footswitches with smooth, quiet operation and an expression pedal with an integrated toe switch.

Use memory mode to call up complete patch setups with the footswitches, and then switch to manual mode for direct on/off control of each effect category within the patch.

The footswitches also have LED lights in different colours, for quick identification during a performance, and you can set all LEDs to light in a fixed colour for each mode if desired.

A portable processor

The ME-90 is lighter than its previous generation model, while still maintaining the durability that Boss is famous for. Now you can take your all-in-one guitar processor with you on the road and bring it to gigs, parties, and wherever else you wish to perform.

Boss Tone Studio

Boss Tone Studio for macOS and Windows extends your creative range, allowing you to edit tones and change out some amp and effect types with alternate selections. In addition, you can save and organise patches for different gigs, download pro setups at Boss Tone Central, and swap patches with the ME-90 community on Boss Tone Exchange.
