- This is my personal configuration set up for achieving awesome 80's hard rock/ metal distortion from the Boss ME80. Some people have probably set this up the same way but I'm sharing my personal viewpoint on how I like my distortion to sound.

Great general tuition into achieving any tone I want from the ground up. The Boss ME-80 is a great addition for my set up and saves daisy chaining multiple FX pedals and stomp boxes. I'm wanting to use it with my Boss RC-600 looper and am figuring out which order to chain them.
Thanks for all your help with the tones!! Loving the boss me 80..
Switched my hookup to the power amp in on the katana amp! Game changer sounds awesome!
Really helpful walkthrough and well done video. I've been struggling to build a tone like this and you helped a lot!
I like this somewhat old school interface! ...Not fussing with menu screens and endless scrolling! I am NOT knocking other products...But this format is geared towards a certain player and it sounds great!!! Laid out like pedals is awesome!!! Great video!!!
Nice sounds man! I actually just got one of these and I'm already loving it. Haven't used something like this in MANY years and I am enjoying being back in a device like this. I have several boards armed with pedals, but somehow, this just seems more fun. And, sounds just as good. Thanks for the info!
Thank you, this was really helpful and got me in the ballpark quickly. It only took a bit more tweaking to get the ME-80 sounding very similar to the tone I get from my tube Marshall amps.
Great video. Just got my ME-80 with a Katana MKII 100. A little redundant but I like I can take my board, headphones and guitar on the back porch and play 😊. Also, I’m an 80’s metal head lol
I’ve got the same exact gear lol, my sound is kinda awful though.
Cool vid. I really like my ME80 and this helps exploring it more, thank you👍👍👍
Great vid! Thanks for sharing your setting.
Just got one of these, i run it in a power amp with a 4x12 cabinet, sounds amazing!
So you just go out mono into the poweramp and then into the cab, right?
@@marcoblack9027 yes \m/
Ty amigo just picked one up today! Subscribed!
Dude!!! Great video!! I bought my me 80 a few years ago, and mainly use it for my clean channel, but you nailed it with the tone on this!!
Thanks! Glad you’re digging it. 🤘🏼
@RickordProductions just a question: is there a way on the me80 to save a bank, but when I have said bank chosen, to put fx on/off it on the fly? Like stepping on and off an external single pedal without switching the bank?
+1 for 80's Hard Rock / Metal! Great overview. Subscribed. Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
awsome tone bravo!
Thanks for sharing this, great video.
I dig it man. I've been using one for a couple years. That dummy plug thing was buried in the manual I heard and found it. Makes a difference. I keep my pro media 2.1 PC speakers plugged in for messing around but I turn that down and go direct from the board to scarlet solo 2nd gen interface into reaper. I get messing around with a few sounds and sometimes I notice the preamps do not play well over each other often will sound brittle even with the dummy plug. Not sure what I'm doing when that happens. Probably just being new and not practicing diving into the board enough. But I do love it. It's all I have and to have only that is better than many scenarios a I have all the effects. I might look into a cab emulator or sim box or preamp pedal to run in front of the me80. Built like a tank too. Hahah. I do look at some new stuff now but man things are outrageous. Hahaha.
🤘🤘thank you sir for sharing the setting👍👍🤘🤘
Great video braddah 🤙🏝️I’ve had mine for about seven years haven’t been able to find a good how to video mahalo from Hawaii
Perfect! I probably use my me80 as much as an axfx2
Sounds sick ,, feel like getting the me-90
thank you so much for this
Thank you for this
great video!
Sounds great! What amp are you going into?
Blackstar Amped 1 and running the DI from the amp straight to a PA mixer. It sounds just as good if I ran the Amped 1 to a cab.
@RickordProductions cool. I'll try running it through my Katana, then DI to the board. Thanks for the video, our taste in 80s metal rhythm tone is very similar 👌
To add a leader section without losing volume, how could I do it? Just bought a B-ME80 and I'm new to this
Also does it let you pick certain amps or your just using the pre amp embedded?
Hi can you use this into a FRFR cabinet? I have the 5150 iconic amp set up with a 4x12 cabinet but i think that would sound great in a FRFR as well.
As far as voicing goes I am using a flat response but it’s all plugged into a pa mixing board going into powered speakers. I’m running everything the way I do live…plugging it to front of house.
What is your pedalboard?
What guitar? What pickups?
Those can make a huge difference in finding the right tone.
Good question. I think I was using my Ibanez Jem Jr. which still has all the factory parts installed.
What amp would be great to pair with the ME-80? I'm considering getting this pedal, and I need to get an amp.
Best use it with a good clean amp or run it straight to a power amp like in the FX Loop and bypass the preamp because the ME80 has a dedicated preamp.

Are you playing this through a tub amp?
No through a solid state. The Blackstar Amped 1.
sounds good, nice fat sound.
What powered speakers are you using? Im looking at the headrush but there are better ones out there

Never really liked mine. Found it far too top heavy, lacks mids in my humble opinion. Great Vid though.
Not so. Lacks warmth or decent sustain.
Play loud , not in the bedroom.
I love my ME-80. I retired my ME-50.
