Boss ME-90 vs UAD and NI Plugins – Guitars Forum

One thing about the ME-90 is that the last option in any effect block on the ME-90 can be configured to another effect. For example you could use the Boss Tone Studio software to swap out the Overtone effect in the main FX block to be either a Script Phaser or Stereo Chorus or CE-1 Chorus or Auto Wah, and that you can configure out which effect is swapped on a per patch basis.

This has the advantage that you have more effects that are shown on the label, and that they could possibly add more effects later on. However, it could also be a bit confusing.

As for the ToneX, that pedal only models dirt boxes, amps, and cabinets. You may want to use that for core sounds and enhance it with other effects.

Guitar Rig is a much more complex environment than the ME-90. It has a different collection of components. The amp modeling is not the best, but the effects cover a lot more ground and can do a lot of things you can’t on the ME-90.
