Using the Effects
Pedal
fig.0210
You can make the setting that determines whether the ME-
50’s expression pedal functions as a volume pedal or as an
expression pedal. In addition, when using it as an expression
pedal, you can use it to control one of the special pedal
effects that you select.
Using the Pedal as a Volume Pedal
When using the expression pedal as a volume pedal, press
the expression pedal all the way forward and then give it a
stronger push, the PEDAL MODE indicator goes off.
fig.0220
The volume decreases as the pedal’s toe is raised, and
increases when the pedal is pressed down.
Using the Pedal as an Expression Pedal
When using the pedal as an expression pedal, press the
expression pedal all the way forward and then give it a
stronger push, the PEDAL MODE indicator lights up.

You can select one of the following effects with the
expression pedal.
WAH
The effect will function as a pedal wah.
RESONANCE
This completely original effect offers enhancements on the
characteristic resonances produced by analog synth filters.
Using the effect in combination with the OVERDRIVE/
DISTORTION TYPE set to “SQUARE” produces a sound like
a synthesizer.
And using it together with delay, chgorus, and reverb makes
them even more effective.
VOICE
A further advancement beyond the BOSS HUMANIZER, this
effect produces “talking” modulation sounds and realistic
human voice sounds.
RING MOD
This is an effect that crosses the ME-50’s internal oscillator
with the guitar source sound to change the sound to a
metallic sound devoid of any feeling of pitch.
Pressing the pedal down even more changes the internal
oscillator’s frequency, creating a particular undulation
sound.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
+1 OCTAVE
Allows the pitch to be raised up to one octave above the
original guitar sound.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
-1 OCTAVE
Allows the pitch to be lowered up to one octave below the
original guitar sound.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
