Boss is a manufacturer of electronic musical instruments and accessories based in Japan. The company is a division of Roland, one of the largest manufacturers of musical instruments in the world. Over the years, Boss has released a number of popular products, ranging from the pedals to the drum machines and samplers of distortion guitar. One of his most lasting products, which is still widely used today even though it was first published more than two decades ago, is the SE-50 multi-effects processor.
The SE-50 was the first processor half-rack multi-effects created by Boss and above is designed with guitarists in mind. The effects unit is equipped with a series of typical effects of such units, including distortion, chorus and flanger. Unusual, however, is the inclusion of a digital vocoder 7 bands. In total the group has 28 preset algorithms, nine of which are reverb effects alone.
Although the Boss SE-50 was originally designed as a multi-effects guitar processor, in recent years it has gained popularity among many bands harsh EBM. These musicians are using Pitch Shifter effect unit to process the voice both live and on recordings. pitch shifter of the SE-50 (patches 112), provides four frequency bands, each of which can be detuned independently. This effect, and by extension the SE-50 in itself, has come to define the processed item of a series of modern electro-industrial band. Widely used settings include pitching the first two frequency bands up one to two semitones while at the same time detuning the lower bands of a similar amount. This is then combined with similar vocal styles to those used in some forms of extreme metal, as the screams and growls high or low tones.
Users should note that the SE-50 preset stores using an internal battery, similar to those found in watches and other consumer electronics, which has a less than five-year life span. When this power supply fails, it is likely due to the age of the SE-50, all user-defined parameters will return to the factory settings. Battery Replacement restore the ability of the SE-50 to save user presets, even if the settings were not stored on an external backup system may not be recoverable.
Despite the unit's shortcomings, the fact that it is widely available at prices less than $ 100 has secured its widespread use among the various guitarists and electronic musicians. Bands that have used the SE-50 include Nine Inch Nails, Duran Duran, Kraftwerk,: Wumpscut :, Society, Suicide Commando, Die Krupps, Grendel and Tactical Sekt.
