But again, it’ll most likely be used by guitarists in gigging covers bands, so that massive selection of branded sounds might be more for the benefit of the guitarist than the audience. In saying that, the emulations on the RP360XP aren’t terrible. Their current manufacturing portfolio includes compact, twin and multi-effect pedals, pedalboards, electronic tuners, digital studios, samplers, solid sate amplifiers and other electronic equipment. Their units are manufactured in Taiwan and Malaysia. Today, they are one of the leaders in the field of Multi-effects (Multi-FX) pedals. The effects typically put function before freak-out potential: There’s few deep, ambient space verbs and fractured delay sounds to be found here. Still, with a bit of tinkering and an adventurous spirit you can create a lot of unusual, recording-worthy textures, and the right pairings can make the ME-80 sound very lush. Multi-FX pedals at this price are often designed for people who want to dip their toe into the world of effects, offering a solid (if not mind-blowing) taste of the sounds available. The layout of the buttons fits the requirements and expectations of the pedal. The construction of the ME-25 accounts for a great deal of what points towards it being aimed at gigging musicians. You could confidently bring this to a show – several shows even – and not have to worry about it getting anything other than some cosmetic damage.

In addition to its stellar COSM amp models and effects, the ME-70 is fitted with a new COSM Preamp section derived from BOSS’s GT-10 and Legend series. With the ME-70 you can dial up a world of tone, from classic to cutting-edge, with simplicity and speed. This is the ME-25 driver for Microsoft® Windows Vista® 64-bit Edition. This driver also supports ASIO (Steinberg Audio Stream I/O Interface). The features covered here represent just a fraction of what the ME-80 can do. And while the ME-80 is not without limitations (most often these are fair tradeoffs for simplicity), it’s a smart, streamlined way of getting a lot of sounds for very little dough.

The stomp box models haven’t been designated as tributes to any particular pedals of yore, with the exception of BOSS’s OD-1 and Ibanez’s Tube Screamer. I’m actually quite surprised they haven’t used it as an opportunity to champion more of their own work. Power Supply: DC 9 V, Dry Batteries (R6/LR6 (AA) type) x 6, AC Adaptor (BOSS PSA series sold separately): The ME-80 is built for moving from place to place fast, and while it’s not super-light, it’s sturdy as hell, with an almost entirely metal enclosure and chassis. Apart from the knobs and switches, there’s very little plastic. It’ll be interesting to take a look at the tones it can create. It’s unlikely a user will need to get rid of their ME-25 because it’ll be broken – let’s see if the limited range of tones will put people off, or compromise the longevity of the product. Tones On board you’ll find some very flexible effects and sound-sculpting tools, including compression, seven types of overdrive and distortion, a three-band equalizer, phaser, noise gate, digital delay with up to two seconds of delay time, chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, tremolo and reverb.

Product Details

To edit and store, use dedicated front panel knobs - Drive, Tone & Level with Expression pedal and the Write button. Expression pedal controls the number of pedal effects like octave up / down, wah, freeze effect and even allows you to create swells (gradual increase followed by gradual decrease) in pitch and volume. In ON position, expression pedal controls the pedal FX and in OFF position, it controls the volume.

While a lot of multi-effects units have an auxiliary line in for connecting external audio, Line 6 have got down with the kids and strapped a Bluetooth receiver to their box, so you can jam to music from your phone or tablet. The AMPLIFi remote app lets you control your tones, right from your Android or iOS device. DigiTech RP360XP

The ME-70’s dedicated knobs for each effect section allow full, fast control over sound creation, just like a stompbox. The knobs make the ME-70 incredibly easy to use compared to traditional multi-effects units. Users will also love the new Phrase Loop function for sound-on-sound creation, with up to 38 seconds of recording time. Its EZ Tone function allows for fast and easy tone creation via simple effects presets, so players of any level can create superb tones of any genre within seconds. The pedal-assignable effects consist of volume, wah, “tremolo arm” (similar to a Whammy pedal) and ring modulator. There’s a global guitar amp simulator that emulates an amplifier’s tone when you’re playing through headphones or recording direct to tape/cd/hardrive. And in addition to all these effects, the ME-30 has a built-in chromatic tuner. For starters, the ME-80’s interface is basically a little hive of stompboxes. Each of the four footswitches closest to the guitarist is a bypass switch dedicated to one of four effects groups: compression and FX1 (which includes a ring modulator and acoustic simulator among others), overdrive and distortion, modulation, and delay (which also includes a looper). Three footswitches above and to the left of the four main effect switches activate a preamp simulation section, an EQ/FX2 section (which also includes a second phaser, delay, and looper), and a reverb control.
