    Found new switch’s on eBay from jetpack_mods, 5 for approx $15
    Was quite an ordeal to remove and replace but I managed.

    @Mike - All ME-5s get sticking buttons - this can be partly alleviated with some electrical contact cleaner spray.

    The footswitch probably just requires some contact cleaner too. If you purchase the Upgrade Set here, you get a copy of the workshop manual included to help with further maintenance etc.!!

    * The Reverb/Delay combination is the only digital effect in the ME-5, and comes last in the chain, followed only by a Master Volume. All the others
    are analogue - are the actual standalone pedals of the era in fact but with preset parameter increments instead of continuous sweep dials.

    * You can stereo out the back of the ME-5 for all the FX. Is a good way to run 2 amps also although you can get ground loop hum with certain equipment - but that is the same for any such setup.

    Also, the only stereo effect in the ME-5 is the reverb.

    All the effects in the ME-5 are digital. It's successor (ME-6) employed an analog overdrive.

    Hi

    Nice site, I have been using the ME-5 since 1988, with a short period when I used the ME-10, but that one broke down after a few years, the ME-5 is still going strong, I have 3 of them now and have no use for any other multi effect board, I use a few other pedals in the send return, and after the board, to get stereo delay and phaser.
    But I really love that board and the sounds in it, not that I use a lot of presets, normally just 4, so there is a lot of storage space that I don't use :-)

    Very informative. A very good point you make that is lost in all the technological advances and advertisements - THE ME-5 IS ANALOG. I just may keep my eye out for one of these. And many thanks for the Rory Gallagher reference.
