Some sounds are brilliant, vibrato and Dimension spring instantly to mind. The CE-1 isnt bad and the MO-2 is pretty good, Rotary is good. The slicer is great but absolutely hideous to set up.
Some are truly awful, phaser, filter and flanger spring instantly to mind
The menu/UI system is horribly clunky and the midi side of things is a bit wank. The dual effect thing has it's compromises.
Did I mention the menu is terrible?
There is an app that makes tweaking less painful.
I just checked my emails and I am surprised I paid £304 18 months ago for mine.
A combination of laziness and an unwillingness to go on a tone quest is the only reason I haven't replaced it.
Its not worth the retail price for me.
Maybe its this reason why a few mobius's come up for sale more than the Boss units do but I'm sure you couldn't tell them apart in reality
I've had both recently, I'd hoped that having a big box modulation unit would help with board space, however I'll be sticking with individual units and taking the real estate hit.
Out of the box the Mobius sounds a lot better, more musical (apologies for the cliché). The Boss can sound just as good, however you have to be willing to put in the time and edit until the early hours of the morning to make it the case. I also would say it's the most straight forward of interfaces with all the sub menus
On the flip side, some of the combinations you can put together with the MD 500 are awesome. Stacking the Overtone and rotary setting really captures that Hammond setting, and adding one of the slicer settings to anything is a lot of fun. The dimension chorus is lovely.
Basically, a combination of the 2 would've been the ideal. 2 independent mod sounds from the 500 and the strymon interface with a mixture of the 2 companies algorithms would be the one to end all
