This is awesome. When I think how much board space this can save its crazy. Just not sure Im ready to say goodbye to my PH2 or CE3 (and all my other modulation pedals!)
1. i LOVE Rabea! Great presenter. Up there with Pete Thorn in my book. 2. Question for the experienced players: The multi-effects pedals like this seem like a great value, but how often might one be frustrated that you can't use more than one of the effects at the same time?
So I just got mine yesterday and I have been playing with it a little, all I can say is you need to calm down for like a month or so to really be able to use this thing like a boss, it's so simple but sophisticated, I also love the way the On/Off switch doesn't make any sound when you stomp on it.
@@spiceybadger Good question, but the answer to that is both, as it depends on the amp, that being said an fx loop is always a better alternative trust me.
@@khay2210 thanks for your response. I've recently picked up my first tube amps and am looking at building my signal chain. Have a load of pedals to replace my GT-6. Just wondering if people run pedals in front and through the effects loop from the same pedal board. I'm just trying to make life simple!!
@@spiceybadger my OD and EQ 200 are the only pedals that I use in front of my amp, and it’s a complex set up actually because I got the first input and output of the eq 200 still going to the fx loop while the second just goes in front of the amp.
one more wish on my wishlist for the next firmware update : as for the 2 choruses, it would be great to be able to chose between a volume or a mix/blend (in the global menu) for the E. Level knob. I prefer by far a mix to a volume setting... Please!
Awesome demo Rabea, I love your work. Now you’ve got me excited, I can’t wait for my pedal to come in! Do you know when boss is releasing them? I have one on pre- order and can’t wait to play it with my MD200!
What would be better would be to give a précise example of settings for each mod. I struggle for rotary autowah overtone and slicer. No example on the manual!!!
How do I get my hands on one of these? I've made quite a few guides for the Boss ES-8 Looper that have done really well, and would love to make a MIDI guide for the 200 series pedals.
I asked our Product specialist team and here is the answer: Select Auto Wah. Press [TAP DIVISION] + [MEMORY] buttons. Turn RATE knob to select EPF (expression pedal) push RATE, turn RATE to select Pr2 (param 2). Press again TAP DIVISION + MEMORY. Now you can use exp pedal to set the center freq, but you also need to set A.Wah RATE knob to zero, DEPTH to max, PARA1 to around 3 o'clock and PARA 3 to max position (band pass filter). Hoping this helps!
I wish they got into a little more detail about the midi control but I guess that's what the link was for. I'm curious whether the Slicer rhythmic patterns can be controlled via midi. It would be cool if it followed the same click track that a drummer is following.
Anyone happen to know what model of expression pedal it is that Rabea's using? Looks a wee bit more solid than the recommended EV-5. And what's more, it seems to be able to switch the effect off (at 5:38 or so). Very cool!
I tried the internal drives for rotary vintage phaser and vibe. I prefer by far to use my own external fuzz or od. No dynamics and low end too muddy with the internal drives. Gadget. I would prefer a blend knob for all the mods.
Hi BOSS Channel, I'm going crazy trying to setup the midi on this pedal, with my Boss ES-8, do you have any videos explain it please ? The manual is so not handy ... Greetings

@@BOSSinfoglobalHy Boss, help please, I have a similar problem. I’m having a really hard time to make my Dunlop Volume X Mini work as expression pedal on the MD200, and I really read already the manual a lot of times. After selecting EPF, assigning a value (rate, depth, elevel or a parameter), do you have to do some step extra? Help and thanks.
I have both the MD200, and the EHX mod 11. The boss is far ahead for ergonomics. For my taste and opinion, the MD 200 algorithms are better than Mod11 for : choruses, phasers, flangers. But please, for tremolo, rotary, Uvibe and autowah, listen to the EHX and , please!, try to copy or nail these algorithms and integrate them in the next MD 200 firmware update. Please!
Questions to owners. 1/Did you find a way to edit which mod effect is used in a stored memory ? 2/ ive struggled with the autowah to get decent sounds out of it. Hpf and lpf are unusable. Bpf is ok for chords funky strumming. But for notes playing particularly with drive, high notes are swallowed. I failed finding the sweet spot. Thank u have a Nice day.
Would it be possible to get a official demo video, stereo, without the distortion being nearly always on? And someone explaining the three parameter knobs and showing the range of sounds each effect can have?
Riley Maier I bought the dd200 it just blew my mind on the first note.. I compared it with the blue sky shimmer and I liked the dd200 shimmer better. Hence its really worth it. Md200 I next on my list
QUESTION about Boss MD-200 : when I press the pedal off and unplug it from the power supply and then plug it back in it automatically turns the pedal on instead of keeping it off and me having to press the switch on the pedal to turn it on. With all my other pedals it's not like this. I switch them off, unplug it, plug it back in, and it's still off until I turn it on with the foot switch. MY QUESTION : is this normal? It's really annoying every time I turn on my rig I have to go and switch that pedal off. Do you guys know anyway to make the pedal so it's not like this? Please help. Thanks.
HI all, when I use the pedal in stereo I/O, the Slicer comes out with stereo pan (ping pong style). ANy idea if this can be changed or its a default setting when the pedal is used in stereo?
How did you get the Auto Wah to work like a standard Wah with the expression pedal? I am trying on mine, and it only lets me control each of the individual knobs with the expression pedal, none of which give me a standard wah sound. There doesn't seem to be an option to let the expression pedal control the sweep. It just keeps on auto-wah'n.
Hey Brad - I asked our Product specialist team and here is the answer: Select Auto Wah. Press [TAP DIVISION] + [MEMORY] buttons.

This looks great. Can anyone tell me if the effects are digitally created or simple analog components? I bought the Strymon Mobius and was very dissappointed in how thin most of the effects sounded. I'm hoping this unit does a servicable chorus, rotary and phaser and will save me having to buy the 3 effects as separate pedals and a bigger board to put them on

@@BOSSinfoglobal That worked! This feature is included in a lot of the promo material for this pedal so it would be super helpful to include in the next revision of the manual.
Christopher Forrest MD200 is great for saving space and is slightly more powerful from what I can tell, but with the MD500, you can stack up to 3 effects at a time, plus having the benefit of more presets is nice.
That slicer effect is Epic!
This is awesome. When I think how much board space this can save its crazy. Just not sure Im ready to say goodbye to my PH2 or CE3 (and all my other modulation pedals!)

MIDI support is a winner!!!
What a well made video. All the love to the fro!
What would be better would be to give a précise example of settings for each mod. I struggle for rotary autowah overtone and slicer. No example on the manual!!!
Here's the Boss Modulation pedal.
Listen to the Fuzz 🤣🤣🤣
David my thoughts exactly! 😂😂
It's a new kind of modulation kkkkkkk
The fuzz is NOT something I would have led with ...
In addition intrrnal fuzz and ods suck in the md200 in comparaison to dedicated pedals. Too muddy and no dynamics. Not progressive enough for rotary
a trick : watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
How do I get my hands on one of these? I've made quite a few guides for the Boss ES-8 Looper that have done really well, and would love to make a MIDI guide for the 200 series pedals.
Have you done the Midi Guide for this puppy ? (I love your videos and I subscribed, very helpfull with my es-8 settings)
How do you get the auto-wah to work like a regular wah with the expression pedal???? I have tried with all combinations and nothing seems to work....
Make sure your rate knob is set to epf when you have the expression pedal plugged in
Still waiting for an explanation on how to make this work.
I asked our Product specialist team and here is the answer:
Select Auto Wah. Press [TAP DIVISION] + [MEMORY] buttons. Turn RATE knob to select EPF (expression pedal) push RATE, turn RATE to select Pr2 (param 2). Press again TAP DIVISION + MEMORY.

Please see above!
@@BOSSinfoglobal thank you! This did the trick!
I wish they got into a little more detail about the midi control but I guess that's what the link was for. I'm curious whether the Slicer rhythmic patterns can be controlled via midi. It would be cool if it followed the same click track that a drummer is following.
How many unique patterns are available in the Slicer mode?
Well, any way you slice it, you're gonna be really happy with it. I heard there's like 62,413 combinations of you really want to get technical.
50 different patterns. But the possibilities are infinite when you set each pattern
Anyone happen to know what model of expression pedal it is that Rabea's using? Looks a wee bit more solid than the recommended EV-5. And what's more, it seems to be able to switch the effect off (at 5:38 or so). Very cool!
I’m very late but in the small chance you haven’t found it yet it’s the Boss EV-30!
I tried the internal drives for rotary vintage phaser and vibe. I prefer by far to use my own external fuzz or od. No dynamics and low end too muddy with the internal drives. Gadget. I would prefer a blend knob for all the mods.
Hi BOSS Channel, I'm going crazy trying to setup the midi on this pedal, with my Boss ES-8, do you have any videos explain it please ? The manual is so not handy ... Greetings
It only has 4 presets? can I have multiple effects on one preset?
You have 5, counting with the manual preset (whatever you have set on the buttons)
with the latest firmware, you have 128 presets!!!
Anyone figure out what the expression pedal needs to be set to control for it to be used as a wah?
I asked our Product specialist team and here is the answer:
Select Auto Wah. Press [TAP DIVISION] + [MEMORY] buttons. Turn RATE knob to select EPF (expression pedal) push RATE, turn RATE to select Pr2 (param 2). Press again TAP DIVISION + MEMORY.

@@BOSSinfoglobal Maybe thus only works with the boss expression pedals as I just tried this and wasn't successful.

Did they not include the gorgeous Ring Mod?
Dig the pedal. But why is the only midi cable available to control it 5’ stinkin feet long??? Where do they think we are going to put these pedals?
Important question: can I run the MD-200 in a 4 cable-method to use for example the auto-wah before the amp and the chorus in the FX loop?

I bought the DD 200 and MD 200. does anybody know if there will be an RV 200?
Is it possible to do a pre in/pre out (direct into the amp) and post in/post out (fx loop) routing? Thanks for an answer.
Would it be possible to get a official demo video, stereo, without the distortion being nearly always on? And someone explaining the three parameter knobs and showing the range of sounds each effect can have?
They’re not cheap pedals but by George they’re worth it

Like the Slice thingy. Inspiringingly rhythmiticly.
Can you use both sets of IO on the MD-200 and assign certain effects to A and some to B so some can always be post dirt and some be pre dirt?
Does my Boss FV-30H pedal work as an expression pedal with that pedal? autowah and other effects

HI all, when I use the pedal in stereo I/O, the Slicer comes out with stereo pan (ping pong style). ANy idea if this can be changed or its a default setting when the pedal is used in stereo?
That ce 1 reminds me of prince
Is this pedal an AC or DC pedal? I've read different things in a few places. Does anybody know?

how many effects can you have at once within a single memory setting?
1
Memory or manual 1 mod at a time
How much is it?

Sweetwater has them for sale for $250
I like the look of these pedals but what I don’t like is that they are digital.
I will stick with single stomp boxes.
Nice concept though !
Its not hurting Strymon, Line 6 or Axe FX that their pedals are digital
I never said that these pedals are bad. I like their look and probably sound great. I just prefer single stompboxes.
Boss sucks! I'm sticking with Behringer. Jk. I actually just ordered the mad dog 200 an hour ago. Very excited.
do you have instagram
Reebz is a shill? I shall have to contact Mr. Corbyn! 🤣
