01ME-80 COMP Block (D-COMP)
Evens out the percussive 16th-note funk strumming attack
02ME-80 OD/DS Block (BLUES OD)
Used as a mild edge-of-breakup sweetener to emulate Cerati's active mid-boost
03ME-80 MOD Block (CHORUS)
Recreates the lush analog Boss CE-2 modulation
04ME-80 DELAY Block (DIGITAL 400-700ms)
Set to dotted eighth (~380ms) for rhythmic slap and width
The Boss ME-80's CLEAN preamp provides the flat, ultra-sparkle headroom of the Roland JC-120. Setting the BLUES OD with minimal drive adds the harmonic girth and mid-forward snap of Cerati's active Stratocaster Elite electronics into passive Player Strat single coils. In-between position 4 delivers the essential 'glassy' quack of 80s Soda Stereo.
