The BOSS ME-25: Featuring Outstanding FX and Stompbox Ease

The pleasantly affordable new ME-25 is packed with legendary BOSS features that'll make you sound like a pro in no time. It’s just as fun and easy to use as a regular stompbox, and with the built-in SOUND LIBRARY, you gain access to loads of classic and modern effects that will surely help you find your unique sound. Just choose a category, select a variation and play. Customize your sound 'til your heart's content by tweaking the Drive, Volume and Tone knobs. With COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) amp models built-in, along with the Super Stack and Phrase Loop features, the BOSS ME-25 is an absolute dream for upstart and expert guitarists alike who want great sound with great ease.

Easy Access
The stylish black and white design of the ME-25 makes each button, knob and pedal stand out so they're all easy to see and access. Three footswitches, an Expression pedal, four knobs, nine backlit buttons and an enlarged LED panel offer a clean control panel that’s perfect for just about any environment — especially on low-lit stages.

COSM Amplifier Modeling
Its price tag might make you think “entry level,” but the ME-25 is nothing but top notch. Fantastic COSM amp models from the deluxe ME-70 model cover a broad stylistic spectrum, from classic to contemporary. The new ULTRA METAL boasts screeching hi-gain distortion for lots of different flavors of metal music. Also in the collection is SUPER STACK. With a simple push of a button, SUPER STACK will make a little practice amp sound like a beastly stack.

User-customizable SOUND LIBRARY
Tons of presets come included with the ME-25’s onboard SOUND LIBRARY, all easily selectable by category, but you can also customize the sounds with the dedicated front-panel knobs. Free downloadable Librarian software additionally allows you to edit and save your sounds onscreen.

USB Connectivity
Hook the ME-25 up to a PC with a USB cable and you've got yourself a personal recording studio at your fingertips. The ME-25 can serve as a USB audio interface, which makes a convenient, complete studio setup with the bundled Cakewalk SONAR 8.5 LE DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software (Windows Only). Through this setup, you can stream audio between the ME-25 and PC directly through the USB connection.
