Boss ME-50B
|
What what?? And another guitar device on SYNTH mania?? Bass is my 2nd instrument, so I love bass effects. |
|
|
The ME-50B is truly a phenomenal machine. Very immediate to use, and the COSM effects are to die for. All you need is a bass and this, and you're ready for any gig, or studio recording... I used a Peavey T-40 into the ME-50B, to a MOTU 828 mkII firewire audio interface. |
