Boss ME-50 B

Hi Folks

I've just bought one of these Boss units from here and it is really good..

However, it doesn't have a PSU or a manual with it so I was wondering if anyone knew:

(i) where i could get a manual from?
(ii) whether or not I can use my 9v DC power brick with it?

I already run 2 boss pedals off my power brick anyway, so i was hoping that would do the trick?

Thanks in advance for the help..

Nik

Hi Nik,

You can grab a pdf of the manual from the boss website ([url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/en"]http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/en[/url]) just browse through to the appropriate page and there should be a download link there.

Not sure as to the powering.

Hi Nick,

I run my ME-50B from a brick no problem:

The Juicy Lucy does put out 12v per output (5 of them), but each pedal steps it down to 9v anyway.

Thanks Si, that's a great help.. :)

It was hearing your ME-50 at the Bash in September that made me consider getting one, and because we're about to lose our keyboard player, it became even more of interest to me..

Not had much chance to play with it yet but i really like what I've heard so far!

This is working really well now and I'm very happy with it so far! :)

I have another question for anyone out there who uses a lot of effects..

Is it better to have a two rig set-up? That is;
[list]
[*]one rig that handes just your pure bass sound,
[*]and another rig that handles just the sound of your FX
[/list]
I've tried it out at home and at rehearsal and though it was cumbersome having to lug two lots of gear around and set it all up, the sound was so much better with the 2 seperates rigs..

When i tried it with my bass sound and the fx sound both going through just my H&K head and the SWR Triad, it just wasn't as good..

So, has anyone else out there done the same as this, or am i the only one stupid enough to even consider it? :)

Nik
