Boss MD-500 Modulation - a multi-effect modulation unit for electric guitar, offering almost any type of modulation effect a musician could desire. It includes 28 different algorithms with intensive programming parameters, providing an almost limitless sound palette for you to create. It features high-class 32-bit AD/DA conversion, 32-bit floating point processing, and a sampling rate of 96 kHz, delivering studio-quality sound.
The effects in the MD-500 include numerous new top-tier models, as well as authentic sonic recreations of vintage classics such as the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, Roland Dimension D, ‘70s script phaser, ‘80s tri-chorus, and many more. With the ability to use two patches simultaneously with the A/B Simul mode, the MD-500 can likely cover all your modulation needs with a single convenient pedal, and by introducing drive pedals into the flexible external loop of the MD-500, it’s easy to place modulation effects before, after, or around the loop as needed to achieve the best sound.
