Seven of those categories contain multiple effects types, along with dedicated knobs for selecting a type and adjusting its parameters - the same parameters you'd find on the BOSS stompbox equivalent!

You can quickly assign a particular effects type or function to the expression pedal thanks to a knob in the Pedal FX category section.

This multi-effects unit is as close to having a pedalboard of your favourite stompboxes as you can get, both in terms of versatility and functionality.

As if all of that wasn't enough, you can store your knob settings to one of the ME-80's 36 user patch locations, allowing you to recall those setting at the touch of a pedal.
