Main Features - Boss ME-33 Owner's Manual

Main Features
Knob Controls and Large-Sized LCD for
Superior Operability
Six individual knobs allow for intuitive operation. This
allows you to readily manipulate a number of parameters at
the same time, much like you would using individual effects
pedals. Plus, the large LCD screen lets you see the on/off
status of each effect, the selected mode, and more, all at a
glance.
Quick Edit
Six knobs provide easy, real-time control of Gain, Tone,
Modulation, Delay, Reverb, and Level.
EZ Tones
Find your favorite sounds, from clean to heavy distortion,
simply and easily by selecting from 36 different pre-
programmed sample settings, arranged by category.
COSM Modeling
The ME-33 features modeling effects using COSM, Roland's
original modeling technology, including guitar amp
simulator (p. 22), guitar simulator (p. 16), feedback simulator
(p. 18), and other COSM effects.
Simultaneous Guitar Amp Simulation
and Overdrive/Distortion
You can use both a guitar amp simulation and overdrive/
distortion at the same time, allowing you to produce
virtually every different kind of distortion.
"Phrase Trainer" Included
You can also practice playing along with sound from a CD
player, tape recorder, or other input connected to the AUX
IN jack.
Additionally, you can use the ME-33's "Phrase Trainer" (p.
36) feature, a convenient function for sampling (or recording)
and repeating phrases that handles repeated playback of up
to twelve seconds of music recorded from the device
connected to the AUX IN jack. You can also slow down the
playback, giving you the power to learn even difficult
phrases.
Battery-Powered Operation
The ME-33 runs on six AA batteries for outstanding
portability. Of course, an optional AC adaptor may also be
used.
Expression Pedal
The ME-33 also features an expression pedal for controlling a
variety of functions. Use it as a volume pedal, or for
controlling ring modulator, wah, and pitch bend.
COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is Roland's
innovative and powerful sound modeling technology.
COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the
original sound, such as the electrical and physical
| characteristics of the original, and then produces a
digital model that can reproduce the same sound.
