NAMM: BOSS introduced the ME-20B, a powerful multi-effects unit optimized for live performance

With the same performance-based design as its guitar-focused ME-20 counterpart, the ME-20B is aimed at the bassist who wants stage-friendly effects and solid construction at an affordable price. Mix, match, and customize a wide variety of effects, including compressor, overdrive,distortion, T-Wah, phaser, flanger, chorus, delay, reverb, defretter, synth, and more.

This new performance based processor features a tough metal chassis, complete with 3 foot switches, 5 realtime control knobs, and an expression pedal. The EZ Edit feature allows preset effect templates to be selected which call up entire effect settings with the turn of a single knob. A BASS ENHANCE function provides an instant presence boost.

In addition to the realtime performance-based operation, 30 user memory locations are available allowing players to store their favorite sounds for easy retrieval during practice and performance.

Battery or AC operated; the ME-20B Multiple Effects Processor allows musicians to take it anywhere, anytime.
