BOSS MD-500 - In Depth Demo

So considering what it would cost to buy each of those pedals on their own, you're getting a bargain with this MD-500 and so easy to use.

I got an open box item not as described brand new however it works fine. Great sound quality and diverse sound effects

I have never been a huge fan of boss products personally, I always used to relate them to cheaper pedals I used as a kid... but then I purchased the RV500. It took a quite a few hours to become fluent with the UI, but a week after having the RV, I sold of my delay pedals, bought the DD, and now I ha...

Been playing guitar for decades (won't say how many) and been through many modulation pedals over these many years. Had a MXR phase 90 script and Boss chorus on my pedal board and replaced both with the MD-500. AWESOME PEDAL!!! Just scratching the surface with getting my favorite modulation effects ...

Amazing sound quality and interface. Better than Strymon.

The MD-500 is an amazing value. All of the effects are usable and of pristine sound quality. Even the Univibe mode sounds warm, chewy and 3D. Very impressed. Boss has always made great effects but this unit is into Eventide or Strymon territory for considerably less money. Absolutely top echelon.

This is a remarkable tool, with an incredible variety of high quality sounding modulation effects. It also replaced four oedals on my pedalboard. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s well worth the effort. As usual Chicago Music Exchange offered excellent, speedy delivery!

Brilliant both for what it does and does not do, this is a better stab at all-in-one than Boss's ME series of products. In specializing, it focuses on more of a full range of single type of effect and options and thereby simplifies use, adjustment and configuration. I haven;t really used it out yet;...

Extremely high quality sounds, high fidelity

A very high quality and very intuitive pedal. Amazing utility and a very inspiring pedal to create songs.Overall better than Strymon Mobius.
