Hmm, what puts me off is all that text around the knobs.
Bassplayers generally like it simple, haha

Pretty much what I thought, too at the first look at it!

But on the other hand I have recently purchased a dirt cheap KORG ToneWorks AX1500G which has a similar design with the knobs and the text - dialing in the different effects is really easy this way.

pretty cool, I'm glad theyre still doing bass multieffects, (I think the modern GT range has just merged duties to cover bass as well)

My favorite feature on the GT-6B you can get the XLR out to be analog dry signal, which is highly useful for all situations. I dont see it in the manual but hopefully the ME-90B can do this as well.

I really liked the ME-50B for what it was capable of. Was my board for quite a while. That one also had a lot of text but it's actually easy to maneuvre. That's my only regret about the MS-3: It's a tad complicated to dial in (but I need the compact footprint + the loops I can reorder for my setup). The ME-90B is really in that same vibe.
