Boss ME-70 vs Digitech RP500

[73171]

Mostly I play clean with an EQ pedal. Sometimes I'll use an overdrive. I'm just looking for a multi-effects pedal to play with just for fun.

Mostly I want:
chorus, phaser, univibe, and auto-wah without a lot of tweaking.

Boss ME-70 vs Digitech RP500...any ideas?



P.S. I'm not expecting either of them to sound like a board full of boutique effects......

500 is more than 70 so it is better right?



Actually I think the ME-70 looks really cool, it has a built in looper as well I think. Also it seems easier to navigate in that it has knobs for each pedal section. It too has programing presets like the rp-500 but I think for someone starting out it hard to go wrong with the BOSS.

The other guitarist in my band uses the RP500. I've played with it. It's extremely easy to use, and even though I hate multi-effects, it sounded pretty decent as well.

No autowah in the ME 70. Otherwise, I love mine.

RP500, true bypass, decent overdrives. I would go with that...

rp500 real amp models i am personally a big fan of the fender 59' tweed bassman, so if you want specific amp modeling and many effects, specific stompbox modeling, go for rp 500, but if you want "simpleness" and very natural tone go for me-70, the rp 500 has up and down bank, tap tempo bypass, 12345, comp, ds, Chorus/FX, delay, reverb switches, that is an advantage.

The ME-50 has been a go to multifx unit for me for years.
The wah is great, and the delays and chorus are really good sounding too.
The tuner works well. The OD sucks...but who cares...I have the amp or other pedals for that.
As easy, or as difficult (tweakage/pre-programming) as you want, and I'm sure the ME-70 was
cut from the same cloth.
