Boss Audio Systems ME-50 Using the Effects

8

Using the Effects

When the power is turned on, the ME-50 always switches to Manual mode, and the OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION,

MODULATION, and DELAY are switched off.

* When the DELAY TYPE is set to HOLD, the DELAY indicator goes on, the DELAY pedal’s indicator flashes at a fixed interval,

indicating recording standby is enabled. (p. 17)

About the Effect Connection Sequence

The ME-50 automatically selects the optimum sequence for connecting the effects according to the effect (p. 19) you select with the

expression pedal.

●When WAH, RING MOD, +1OCTAVE, or -1OCTAVE is Selected
