Boss ME-30

It's very easy to learn how to use it, even without a manual like me, it only took me about an hour. When switching sounds, its takes a while, because you have to press 2 different buttons for it to change.
But, other than that, its great!

My setup, hhmmmm, i have a Harmony electric guitar, and a Diplomat 20 watt amp, not that great, but u get the idea. Sometimes, i will get a little bit of feedback, but thats it, everything else is great. Distortion is good, change it to get the exact sound u want. The wah is pretty cool, i like the Bark one, Equalizer is good, Flanger is good, Tremelo is good. Noise suppressor is great! hmm, and they're all pretty much like the single-effect pedals, they have the same knobs, except thet're digital. I love making my own sounds, its so easy!

I could depend on this, i just wish i had a better 9-volt AC adaptor, because mine isnt so great, and dont use batteries, they will probably get sucked dry in an hour. Other than that, its great!

I like to play a lot of punk and rock, so this is definitly worth it, especially for 100$! and its in great condition, just go to ebay and search for boss me if you want one for cheap. I've been playing for a couple months now, and its just grrreat, i luv it! If it weres stolen I would beat the hell outta the person that stole it and make him/her buy me a new one, and if I lost it, I would definitly buy another one, or I would buy a ME-33, either way, i would get another one.
I love the way you can program 30 sounds that you want, i also like the other 30 pre-sets, and, well, i havent used the phase trainer yet, but i'm sure its good, it looks like it. I dont like how the pedals are kinda zig-zaged, so its kinda hard to step on the different ones. I really wish it came with a 9-volt AC adaptor, and a brighter luminous light, i think mine blew out. This definitly helps me make music, my band is gonna start up pretty soon, as soon as my bass player gets a bass guitar :), and this wil defenitly help me get the punk/rock sound i need, and other cool effects! Look out for my band, the Sea Monkeys, it will be popular in a couple years!

very easy, within 5 minutes i was whakin' away with this baby
the factory presets easy accesible and easy to tweak same as making new patches

my setup is an ibanez rg470(with the shitty pickups)- ME 30(with that crappy distortion) - peavey bandit 112 (the old model that sounds like shit) AND guess what I sound Great if I may say so. Getting compliments for a good sound sure is nice when you're playing with so called crappy material. (sarcasm, gotta love it)
ok so the distortion isn't very good but what do you want for that price ?? plug in a distortionpedal in front of the ME-30 and look at that baby scream.
the time based FX are pretty good for such a small cheap unit.
I'd say for that money a very nice pedal.

yes it is made from plastic but that isn't really a flaw even on high energy gigs were you really kick on the thing it seem's to be holding up just fine.
had some problems with the on/off switch for the wah pedal and a few problems with the connection of the cd-player but it is a very solid pedal

had no problems yet so don't know

I play in a band that's sounds like a heavy assault over pink floydish soundscape's AND with a female singer (njamee).
so fx are pretty important as is distortion in our sound
the fx are of a good quality especially when they are this cheap .
ppl are always talking about crappy this or crappy that, it seems that those ppl want top notch studio gear for the price off 2 stompboxes.
doesn't make alott of sense now does it ?!?
if I (and probably other ppl) were rich we would buy top notch gear but since i ain't rich this unit must be sufficient and it is ;)

very easy to use, no upgrades etc. editing patches is simple. i didn't get a manual with mine (left it in the shop), and i could use it.

squier stratocaster and an aria pe dlx sd.(ten times the quality of an epiphone) noisy on very full distotion, but not at all if you use the noise gate. delay is fantastic (think "where the steets have no name" by u2) i can even get a half decent "with or without you" sustain. i use the marshall g80rcd. can get a very good u2, jimi hendrix sound. excellent. an integral part of my sound

yeah, very dependable. have used it on several gigs with no back up.the ac adaptor broke after about a year, though.

no, but goodwins where i bought it changed the broken ac adaptor with no hassle at all.

great. Excellent. Covers rock, punk, pop etc. It's the strat of fx pedals. I need this peadl. If it got lost, nicked etc. I would have to get another.
also, can someone tell me why people who hate this pedal actually bought it? i mean, c'mon! if you hate something, you're hardly gonna go out and pay in excess of #200, are you?!

Easy to play except buttons might be a bit on the smaller side. It takes forever and a day to find the perfect sound you are going for.

First of all I play a Jackson Perfomer with an EMG-81 on the bridge. I've ran this thing out of a 30 watt practice amp and sounded pretty good. Then I put it through a Yamaha 100 watt as the preamp and it sounded horrible. Put it through the clean channel on the Yamaha and got some decent tones, but its pretty noisy. Then I hooked it up to a Crate 120 watt head and cant find anything decent to come out out of it. I really didnt get into many of the effects, but the reverb, chorus, flange, and phaser all seemed pretty decent. The volume pedal seems alright I guess, but the wah is horrible.

Hasnt failed yet.

This Boss processor is a 5 because its good if youre fooling around on your little amp in your room trying to get an idea of what kind of sound you are looking for. But otherwise find some peddles or amp with effects you like because they will give you a lot less noise and a much cleaner effect. Do not buy this if you are looking for a good distortion for gigs or any recording you'll get drowned out with lack of depth in your sound.

I had a zoom 505 before this and so stepping up to use this was real easy, but alot of friends have had real troubles with it. This thing is a real step up from the 505, but still has a long way to go. The manuals helpful and anyone who reads it has no problems in using it. I suspect most of my friends can't read.

Ibanez EX (Good pickups) - ME-30 - Marshall Valvestate.

I can't believe I used to use the distortion on this pedal and LIVE!!!
It's really poor, and it's really noisy unless you use the noise reducer, but this destroys what good, if any, qualitys the disortion has.

The distortion gets a rating of 2, only good for home use with headphones on.

The EQ's nothing special, but works.
Same with the compressor and reverb.


All the mods work well except the pitch shifter, but I've never heard a good one. The delays fine, except I have a issues with delays where you can't change the delay time, quickly and easily.

As for the expression pedal, the wahs no good, the volume is usable, the arm bend same as a the pitch shifter, and the ring mods usuable if you can find a use for it.

Everything but the distortion gets a rating of 6

I see little point in the stereo, anyone who can use stereo FX probably wouldn't buy this pedal.

It hasn't broken in 2 years, and it's been kicked about abit, I'm quite impressed for a cheap lump of plastic.

This pedal should be able to play most types of music, but I'd only recommend it for the bedroom genre. I would think about selling it but now the ME-33 you can buy ME-30's for $300 so it wouldn't be worth selling it now. I'll keep it and use the phaser and tremelo, they're the only effects I really use.

Pedals are too small, buttons are a pain in the ass, reasonably intuative

Ibanez RG -> Super TS-9 -> Me30 -> Sovtek Mig100 clean channel

Noise gate kills your tone - so does volume pedal on
Overdrives can be warm, distortions are really fiddly to get nice, really!!!! and it feedbacks
Most time effects ok

Shit, pedal click on/off function isnt reliable - done through optical coupling or reflective light sensor I think If i remember the insides..... jacks fucke up twice, one of the stomp pedals pops out sometimes.

shit

Yeah ok - good first effects board. My advice, spend the extra and get something better.

Simple to use, just sounds like dog sh*t

As stated above, it is very crusty, people who say it sounds great must be running it through a 10watt practise amp and never had to play a gig

I use it for gigs, but the way pedal always comes loose makiking constant grief

they did answer my call, but did not fix the probmlems

This is great for learneres who want to start death metal bands, for serious people, dont buy it cause it is crap

Super easy to use; just like dialing in stomp boxes. The interface is simple and editing and calling up patches is pretty intuitive. The manual mode makes it work like individual stomp boxes.

When I first bought the unit 4 years ago, I was playing though an Epiphone T-310C and a Peavey Rage practice amp. The sound quality was ok, definately worth the money but I would say only 7/10 overall. However, my new rig includes an Epiphone Dot and more importantly, a Fender Blues Jr. The tube amp smoothes out any harshness and gives the distortion a more organic sound. Through a decent amp with a good warm clean tone the ME-30 is a 9/10. The distortion is good once you get it tweaked, the delay is great and the modulation effects are good too. The noise gate isn't particularly effective but it may just be my setup, a noisy guitar with hot pickups into a noisy amp is always going to buzz a little.

Reliable and dependable for home use. The plastic housing is sturdy but I don't like putting it at the front of the stage by itself as it probably wouldn't take much of a stage dive to crush it. I built a wooden box to protect it and haven't had any problems

Unbelievable value. For the money I got twice as many effects as I would have had I bought individual stomp boxes. This has allowed me to experiment with sounds in ways that I maybe wouldn't have looked at. I try to play a wide variety of styles and with this box I can get everything from U2 to Pink Floyd to vintage Marshall to dark and heavy. I would easily buy another one, it has become too invaluable a tool. I use the manual mode a great deal and wish that the phaser was stompable but apart from that, no major complaints. Once again however, this rating is with my Fender amp

This thing is so easy to use it's not funny. I bought mine second hand and it didn't come with a box or manual. The great thing is I didn't need one because it's just so easy to use.

Brilliant sound on this thing to. I don't what some of the previous reviewers do to get bad sound out of this thing. It's a dream. Distortion is awsome, the chorus is great, the EQ and phaser are pretty good, delay is great, and so is the reverb. The pitch bend is the only thing that brings this machine down. It sounds so artificial. I also wished that boss had included the best effect they have, the acoustic guitar simulator. The first time I heard that pedal I was over the moon. These let downs are easily made up for by the rest of the processor though.

This unit is reliable and sturdy. Despite what previous reviewers have said, the pedal is fine, just take care with it. Also, it may be made out of plastic, but it's pretty strong. I gig with this unit all the time, without backup and it has never failed me.

Here comes the problem. This is a boss product, boss is owned by Roland, and in Austrailia Roland have poor support (plus there website sucks). When I went to get a new gk-2a internal pickup for a Roland GR-33, I found out that it would take 3+ months. Common, ths just sucks.

I play everything from Jazz, to pop, to light rock, to blues, to lots of other styles and this thing suits perfectly. Its got some minor problems, but this is made up by the rest of the processor. I use this thing with a custom guitar and a Peavy Studio Pro 112. If this thing was stolen I would cry about all the awsome patches I'd lost. Then I'd go out and buy a new one.

Wonderful! I've owned mine for 4 to 5 years now and still regularly enjoy it. I really appreciate being able to create my own, customized sounds with intense reverb and phaser effects and just JAMMIN' to relax. Much better than just using a guitar and amp - life wouldn't be the same without the ME-30!!!!

Rob

Great for any style of music. Blues, classical guitar, metal, grunge, alternative, you name it....

Good value for what it is. The phrase trainer is decent. The tuner and volume pedal are convenient. One downside is that to get the LCD screen to light you need to leave it in some type of bright for a couple of hours.

This is an awesoeme unit except for even on clean channels you get that damn shaking sound (which is cool most of the time), and the delay is not the same as a roland digital delay pedal. It is very easy to set up and use.

I play it through a fender 67' twin reverb amp with 2-12 celestions AND IT SOUNDS GREAT.

I would definitely use it at a gig but i would bring a backup for sure.

If it got stolen or broke i would probably buy a new one. ive been playing for 5 years and i currently play a gibson les paul standard. The phrase trainer is one of my favourite features

I started off using a Yamaha RGX through it and it was good and ten i upgraded to an Ibanez S-Classic and it got a lot better. All the effects are clear except maybe the distortion which takes a LOT of time to fix. Editing patches is piss easy. My brother who doesnt even play Guitar could do it!

I started off using a Yamaha RGX through it and it was good and ten i upgraded to an Ibanez S-Classic with a gay Peavy Blazer 158, which sounds good on my bands album, and it got a lot better. All the effects are clear except maybe the distortion which takes a LOT of time to fix.

I can always depend on it. I always use this, never would NOT use it.

Its all good mates!

If you are familar with their pedals it is quite easy. I had no problems and didn't read the book until some time later.(months later)

The sound quality for the timed effects (Chorus, Flange, Delays) are quite good. I traded a Boss Flanger in on this unit and the flange sounds are the same. I have had no problems with the pedal, many of the extras are cheesey but I was mostly interested in the waw and time effects. Be sure that you test your paticular instrument and amp with any effects before plunking down your cash. "All are not equal", some amps hate digital effects in the loop, others prefer them there. I play mostly classic rock and blues with a Peavy Generation S-2 into a Laney LC-15R(killer little amp) and the pedal really made the setup much more versital.

You can definately depend on it.

Unknown have never had to go there.

Would definately replace it if something happened to it. One of the best "bang for the buck" processors that I have come across in over 20 years if playing.

Dude, you just like, spend 6 minutes being curious with it and thats it. i believe it was a little too easy to use

dudes, every effect in this effect machine is very cool, the chorus rulz, the delay rulz too, the distortion SUCKSSSS, that was the only thing that this shit needed, how the fuck r u gonna launch a product with shitty distortions like this one, i have to use the ibanez smash box which is way better than the ones on the stompers

it hasnt gone haywire on me, but its plastic and you can always use a backup

I play mostly 311, deftones, incubus, korn and limp bizkit and all those supposedly called metal bands, and for all the effects its way cool, but the distortions suck so use an ibanez smash box or a boss metal zone, i have been playing for 7 years i have a band called 20 dead flower children and it makes every song sound good that way

It is very easy to use. It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to learn it with out using the manual (which is included).

I am using an Ibanez GRX with Seymor Duncan to the me-30 to an Ibanez tm-5 thrasmetal distortion to a peavey 2x12 120 watt tube amp called the duece vt series. The distortions are very noisy.All of the effects are pretty good but the detune sounds like crap unless you use a distortion after the me-30.

Have not had a problem with it yet. I can depend on it. It has always worked.

Never dealt with the company

I play heavy metal it is an ok match for the style of music i play.i have been playing for a year and a half. The chorus is a good effect and mostly everything else on it.

If you read the manual you'll have no problems operating the unit, editing patches is a piece of cake. However, when the expression pedal is set to wah mode, it can be turned on and off by pressing it down vigorously, but half the times I've tried to do that it didn't work. So don't rely on that.

I use an Ibanez Jem 555 (Dimarzio Evolution pickups, H-S-H) and a Peavey Prowler. So I use the ME-30 plugged to the send/return jacks. Most distortions sound like shit, they're f*ckin' noisy, and even worse when used with the compressor. Actually, if you need a vintage sound, go for it. But if you intend to play metal, buy a fine tube amp and forget about the ME-30. Another bad thing about this processor is the pitch shifter, it sounds too digital, like those emulated sounds for keyboards, or worse. All other effects are fine, delay is great and so is reverb. Chorus and flanger are the best about the ME-30. I think wah-wah sounds better when set before the overdrive, with the guitar plugged directly to the processor; but when setting the expression pedal to volume control, I usually use it between noise supressor and delay, so that it won't affect gain settings. This really helps when doing both rhythm and lead. The tuner is very, very good, and the phrase trainer has helped me a couple times.

I have never gone on stage without the AC/DC adaptor, I wouldn't rely on the batteries. As the fluorescent display is not very clear in the dark, you should know very well where are the sounds you need. The ME-30 has never failed me, so I gig without backup.

Never had to call them. Nothing went wrong with the unit since I bought it three years ago. The expression pedal is kinda fragile, but just be a nice guy and it will last forever.

I enjoy playing metal, from Sabbath to Maiden. That means I usually use the amp's overdrive, not the ME-30's. But I play vintage stuff too, and in this case some drive settings of the processor meet my needs. I've been playing for four years, and now I'm looking forward to selling my amp and getting a Mesa Boogie Nomad 45, but I intend to keep the ME-30 for now. I really hate the pitch shifter, but I never use it anyway. Delay, chorus and flanger are the best. This processor is very versatile, and it kicks Zoom's ass. Once I tried the Zoom 2020 and it seemed like the expression pedal was going to break. Finally, for its price range, the ME-30 is a very good option.

It's real simple to use. I've never even opened the manual. Until I cleaned out my closet I thought I'd lost it. Basically what I'm saying isWe if you can read, you can easily program this thing. Definitely one of the more user friendly processors. You may need to play around with this thing ALOT for good patches.

I've been playing for 6 years. I use this thing for my practice setup which consists of a Crate GFX-20 (it sucks don't but one) and either one of my guitars. I have my Kramer (it's 80's same type Eddie Van Halen used), an American Fender Strat, and a Jackson Soloist. I've tried it for my live and recording setups too. There would be too much equipment to describe it all. It can be a noisy unit. It seems like every effect you add the noise like doubles and it takes forever to clean it up (and don't think it will get real quiet). The distortions are ok. I play mostly metal and rock. It's hard to find good in-between tones. If you raise the gain on the metal you go from a kind of muddy Black Sabbath to like older Metallica without much else to choose from. However you can sound really good if you play with it. Watch your eq, gain, and tone settings or you could end kill your ears with feedback. The other overdrives serve their purposes pretty well I think. Other effects are ok. Playing with the delay can get noisy esp. with distortion, but if you tweak the sh*t out of it you will probably like the results. Flange, compressor, chorus, reverb, phase, and octave are actually pretty good. Noise suppressor helps out alot too. The wah sucks. Ring modulator can make some cool noises. All in all I'll go with a 7 because because it's no prize but it's a great affordable little piece. Will make a beginner happy for a long time, or serve the needs of someone with experience in need of a decent inexpensive practice unit.

It ain't like your typical Boss stompbox tank construction. It's plastic so don't expect alot. Mine's never been used for a gig, or even recording but it's got it's issues. The wah seems like you could bend or snap it off without much effort. The plastic buttons like to get stuck, pop out, and basically piss me off. It's not hard to place them back in their slots, but I could imagine if the stage floor were a bit sticky what disaster would happen. Also the display isn't real easy to see. The construction may be kinda poor, but at least it's never gone "japanese" on me, locked up, lost patches, and it does always turn on. For the purpose I got it for I'll give it a 6. I'm sure if I tried to play out with this thing I'd give it a lower rating, and hell yes I recommend a backup if anyone were to plan on doing a show with it. Even just a stompbox or 2 just in case.

Never had to deal with them but have heard good stories.

I play metal, and when ou have the metal gain up and the eq set right, this thing could really kick ass. The noise is an ongiong battle, I'd bet a noise gate would make it a hell of alot better. The Digitech RP-10 is the only other floor processor I have. I use it for shows since it sounds really good through my show setup. Which is a Peavey Mace head, and 2 Marchall 4x12 cabs. I use a Boss Metalizer and Digitech DSP 128+ as backup. If anyone has any suggestions about quieting feedback on these ME-30's esp. when in a small room, can you share them with me?

I've owned MANY guitar effects, both stomp boxes and multi-effects processors -- comparatively speaking, the ME-30 is very easy to use. I shy away from using too many patch settings, I rather, use the unit in Manual Mode -- basically I use it just like I would a few stomp boxes. It's down right simple when you use it this way.

I play mostly blues and blues-based rock. With a bit of tweaking, you can squeeze some rich, subtly harmonic tones from the ME-30. I use a Peavey Delta Blues tube amp with (1) 15" speaker -- a key for me was to program my settings while playing through the amp and NOT through headphones. This makes all the difference in the world. I was able to program a great, smoothe sounding overdrive, a decent echo/delay (although I prefer my Danelectro Dan-Echo pedal), and some funky modulation effects. I especially like the Flanger and Chorus.

The ME-30 has a heavy-duty plastic casing and substantial footswitches. The expression pedal seems a bit flimsy though. Although I use it in my home studio, I would think it would do OK live.

When used the way I use it (Manual Mode) it's a great, easy-to-use tool. It's almost like having 3 Boss stomp boxes in a row with a tuner and a Wah/Volume pedal -- without the need for all tose 9V batteries! I find the presets too extreme for my style, but with a little work even a blues player can find some satisfying sounds.

Went to a music store looking for a multi-effects unit. Seemed easy enough to use.

It's a childs toy! The sounds had NO TONE! Everything (all the factory presets) had a similar sound, a far away, weak, wimpy sound, no texture, no flavor! I then tried a Digitech RP-2000 (yes twice the price) but it had a nice, deep, rich tone. The effects were superb, there was a real difference between presets.

Don't know, but I think it's plastic.

N/A didn't buy it.

For the same price a Digitech 200 will blow this away!

Weel this thing is very easy to use,it takes you less than a day to know and use all the functions.
Editing patches is very simple, and with the virtual knobs is very easy.
The manual ist very helpful, it just describes each effect and each virtual knob.

The sound quality is very good, and the Me-30 is also cheap, because it has 16 effects, plus an expression pedal that controls volume, wah, and ring modulator.
I use this with a Washburn Mercury guitar, and a Fender Frontman Amp, with high distortions its a little noisy, but activating the noise supressor helps a lot. it very noisy using the compressor .
All the effects are great especially the Delay, the chorus, the distortions and the flanger.
With the fuzz and other settings i can get the sound of a big muff, that sounds similar to Smashing pumpkins.

I give this a 8 because the sound in here is not the same as the Boss stompboxes, but i dont have money to buy 16 stompboxes, so you can get it at a low price.

I depend on this thing, i would use it without a bacckup

I havent dealt with Boss

I play mostly alternative music, but i also plat metal, blues and other, and it match for all those styles. i would like to buy a turbo rat distortion, because it sounds more like sonic youth and that, but using also the Me-30
i recomend this for beginners because its very easy to use and its not expensive.

This fucking thing is so easy to use, that a retarted monkey on crack could figure it out.

I have read the other reviews, and I laugh at all the arragant classic rock guitarist out there that can't think of a use for the ring modulator. This thing kick some serious ass. It beat the living hell out my old Dod tech 4. The factory presets are lame at best. You have to make your own. The distortions sounds like? Well? Like a boss distortiion petal. Just like the rest of there petals you have to adjust your amp settings along with ME-30. Some of the sounds I am able to create with it are down right wicked/pure evil. The more creative you are, the more the ME30 is for you. If your just playing classic rock then you are a pussy!!!

So far so Good, However I am affraid of putting all my weight on the expession pedal.

Never dealt with them, Instead I read the manual.

I play fucked up shit, kinda like Gwar, Butthole Surfers and Whatever. I have been playing for 20 year, fuck am I old. If it where lost I would replace it imediatly. I fucking totally dig the ring modulation effects. I wish it had a super feedback feature. I am finally able to create the level of noise I have always dreamed of. Fuck classic rock

it is very easy to use the manual will take you through it step by step

i play a LES PAUL STUDIO AND A MARSHALL 100 WATT AMP ON THE HEAVY DISTORTION SETTINGS IT CATCHES TOO MUCH STATIC AND CLEAN SETTINGS SOUND BETTER THAN NORMAL

I HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TROUBLE OUT OF IT

I HAVE NOT Dealt with the company

A great 'ready to go' little noise box although be prepared for some serious tweaking to create your own sound. Some of the presets just rock! Check out the "LA LEAD" and "BECKO" presets and also the "JETSTREAM" for some wild shredder action. The "OLDIES" preset is also great for fast clean jazz lines.

I had mine for a few months before I got into some severe patch editing to create my own sound. Be prepared for a LOT of tweaking but the manuals straight forward and if you make a mistake the edit functions cool.

With all the presets I use I have disabled the compressor as it is a really noisy mother****er!! I also was'nt thrilled with the distortion options available as well. Most sounded to harsh and gutless to my ears. I play through a 60 watt Mesa-Boogie combo and I plug the ME-30 into the effects loop. I rely now on the Boogies preamp distortion for my grunt sound and use the boogies footswtich to change channels for clean still using the ME-30's patches but without the compression and distortion. This works great for me but I suppose it depends on your amps distortion as to what sound you will get. I found if the ME-30 was plugged in line with my guitar and then into the input my preamp would boost the noise and you eneded up with some horrible hiss. In the effects loop its reduced but some patches are definately noisy.

I play a Les Paul but I found you could wrench some very Strat-like tones after tweaking the "OLDIES" preset to give you that singing tone a la Robin Trower. Further tweaking gives you that clean big-box Gibson sound like early Steve Howe and its not to hard to approximate some clean grunt Gibson sound like Al Di Meola or some high gain filth a la Slash using the other presets.

The ring modulator allows for some wild shredding options and the Chorus is very good. The delay is nice and the reverb is quite good. The Wah is perhaps not the best and the disortion sounds good only through a practise amp. Crank it on your main amp and it cracks up. If you dont have good preamp distortion I suggest you get a Tube-screamer.

Ive never had a problem with this compact little creature. I've built a pedal board to keep it safe and sound. (I get excited sometimes and it tends to slide all over the stage so the board keeps it still.) I've never found the need to have a backup on hand because the Boogie could get me through the gig anyway but hey! if your relying on a box for your whole tone yourve got yourself in a rut anyway dude.

Never had to deal with them.

I play anything from Blink 182 to Yes and everything in between. This box is great for tone shaping but remember, you will need to do a fair bit of tweaking (thats half the fun anyway!)

If I needed to replace it I would probably upgrade to one of the new juicy rack mounts available but I'm happy with it for now and I'm not looking to replace it in a hurry.

All in all its a great box and its much cheaper than chaining up a whole bunch of stompboxes and finding out you won't use half of them anyway!
