This is a great manual. It was easy to read and very accurate. The size of the manual is small so email is no problem. I highly recommend it. The manual is very hard to find other than this website.
Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.
It was easy done, and I got exactly what I was looking for.

Using the Effects
Pedal
fig.0210
You can select one of the following effects with the expression pedal.
PEDAL MODE Indicator
WAH
The effect will function as a pedal wah.
RESONANCE
This completely original effect offers enhancements on the characteristic resonances produced by analog synth filters. Using the effect in combination with the OVERDRIVE/ DISTORTION TYPE set to �SQUARE� produces a sound like a synthesizer. And using it together with delay, chgorus, and reverb makes them even more effective.
You can make the setting that determines whether the ME50�s expression pedal functions as a volume pedal or as an expression pedal. In addition, when using it as an expression pedal, you can use it to control one of the special pedal effects that you select.
VOICE
A further advancement beyond the BOSS HUMANIZER, this effect produces �talking� modulation sounds and realistic human voice sounds.
Using the Pedal as a Volume Pedal
When using the expression pedal as a volume pedal, press the expression pedal all the way forward and then give it a stronger push, the PEDAL MODE indicator goes off.

RING MOD
This is an effect that crosses the ME-50�s internal oscillator with the guitar source sound to change the sound to a metallic sound devoid of any feeling of pitch. Pressing the pedal down even more changes the internal oscillator�s frequency, creating a particular undulation sound. * Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
Strongly pressing
Not Lit
+1 OCTAVE
The volume decreases as the pedal�s toe is raised, and increases when the pedal is pressed down. Allows the pitch to be raised up to one octave above the original guitar sound. * Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
Using the Pedal as an Expression Pedal
When using the pedal as an expression pedal, press the expression pedal all the way forward and then give it a stronger push, the PEDAL MODE indicator lights up.

-1 OCTAVE
Allows the pitch to be lowered up to one octave below the original guitar sound. * Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
